North Star is looking for a principal contractor to manage and oversee contracts for Responsive Repairs and Void Maintenance.Background - North Star is not a direct labour organisation and as such all works are completed by third party contractors. Our current responsive maintenance contract is operated in a traditional way but North Star are looking to redefine our approach to repairs and are looking for innovative ideas to improve our service offering. Specification Documents have been provided to act as a basic guide to the basis of the works required but there are some areas that are open for negotiation. For clarity we are looking to award to one sole contractor to operate both of these contracts and are not looking to split them into separate lots. Replacement Kitchen and Bathroom Programme - We also have the opportunity to include our replacement programmes for Kitchens and Bathrooms. This will be discussed with shortlisted bidders during this process.
