THIS IS NOT A CALL TO TENDER; It is a Market Engagement via the use of a Questionnaire. As part of service specification development, performance framework design, and procurement planning, the Council is undertaking pre-market engagement with potential providers. We invite organisations with experience of managing temporary accommodation or closely related housing services to provide feedback on the questions below. Responses will be used solely to inform service design and procurement documentation. This Preliminary Market Questionnaire (PMQ) does not form part of a formal procurement process. The temporary accommodation properties will remain in the ownership of Watford Borough Council. The successful contractor will act as the Council’s managing agent, taking responsibility for all day-to-day management and operational functions, including (but not limited to): •Rent collection and arrears management •Tenancy and licence management •Repairs and void works •Health and safety compliance •Statutory inspections and certifications •Building and estate management •Enforcement action, including evictions where necessary The Council will retain nomination rights and will determine which households are placed in each property.
