Aspire Housing is looking to create a repairs and maintenance framework. A soft market test and planned procurement notice have been undertaken to give potential contractors and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model. Aspire has used the information to appraise options and further develop the specification/tender pack. Aspire housing has a DLO off circa 130 operatives, delivering responsive repairs, voids, planned works, grounds maintenance and damp and Mould works. Our first point of call is to deliver works using the DLO however due to volume of work, we rely heavily on sub-contractors. Hence the need for this Repair & Maintenance framework. The works are predominantly reactive, and our busiest time is December – April as we approach year end to ensure we are hitting our job target dates, which usually means a quick turnaround. The framework is broken down into Lots - “A” lots are dedicated for SMEs - The UK Public procurement definition of SME is - fewer than 250 employees. Tenderers can bid for Lots “A” if classed as a SME (Small, Medium sized Entity) or Lots “B” if not classed as a SME i.e larger company. Lots with no “A” or “B” can be bid on by any size organisation. You cannot bid for both A and B lots. Aspire has structured this Framework into Lots and sub‑Lots, each with an estimated annual value to support proportionate competition and market access. Aspire reserves the right not to award a sub‑Lot where insufficient competition or capacity is demonstrated. In such circumstances, Aspire may merge the sub‑Lot back into the overarching Lot and proceed with award under the main Lot structure. The lot structure has been designed to support Aspire’s objective of diversifying the supply base and ensuring that SMEs have equitable access to the Framework. By establishing a dedicated SME Lot, smaller providers compete solely against organisations of a similar scale, removing barriers that can arise when SMEs are evaluated alongside significantly larger contractors. Likewise, the non‑SME Lots enable larger contractors to compete against peers with comparable capacity and resources. This approach promotes fair competition, broad market participation, and a balanced mix of suppliers across the Framework. The works delivered under this Framework are entirely reactive and responsive, with no planned or programmed works included. Each Lot is supported by its own specification, setting out the typical job types, required response times, and service expectations. The nature of the Framework is characterised by smaller, frequent, fast‑turnaround tasks, often raised at short notice. This structure is not intended to deter larger contractors; rather, it ensures that suppliers of all sizes can participate appropriately. The division into SME and non‑SME Lots reflects the fact that individual orders may be low in value, while the overall volume may be high, enabling SMEs to compete on a level playing field and allowing larger contractors to operate within Lots aligned to their capacity and delivery models. Aspire is looking to appoints provider of Repairs and Maintenance works for a Framework commencing in February 2027 for a term of 6 years, reopening for new applicants in year 3 details of which are included in the enclosed documents.

Aspire are looking to create a Preferred Supplier List (PSL) for recruitment agencies. We aim to appoint 5 suppliers on the PSL under the open framework for 6 years and will re-open the opportunity at years 2 and 4 for new competition. There is no guarantee of work via the PSL. However, it is Aspires intention all recruitment not filled directly will go via the PSL. Aspires recruitment procedure is to firstly advertise direct via our recruitment website; secondly would be campaigns (promote on social media etc) via recruitment website. If neither of these routes is successful, we would then approach the PSL to look for opportunities, whether this is an exclusive approach or open approach vis PSL. For some roles we will dual approach internal direct and via PSL at the same time, in exceptional circumstances we will work in partnership with one agency direct without direct advertisement. We are looking for multi sector recruitment agencies - our roles vary from operatives, finance roles, admin roles, Surveyors, Income roles, HR roles and development roles, therefore we are looking for agencies who can cover multi function recruitment.

The Council procured and established a framework of providers, which commenced 1st September 2026, for the delivery of residential and nursing care home services for adults aged 65 and over who have been assessed by the Council as having needs for care and support under the Care Act 2014 and Mental Health Act 1983. In line with section x and xvii of the ITT Procurement Pack and Terms and conditions, Schedule 5 - Operation Of Framework And Mini-Competition Process, this procurement is a re-opening of the Framework Agreement to invite new service providers to submit a Tender with a view to new service providers joining the Framework with Commencement Date of 15th February 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, if you have already been awarded to the IA3668 Residential And Nursing Care Home Services For Adults Aged 65 And Over Framework Agreement which has a Commencement Date of 1st September 2026 you do not need to submit or re-submit a Tender. The Framework is primarily aimed at individuals whose ordinary residence is within Staffordshire (which excludes Stoke on Trent). However, all Placement's will be made based on individual assessed needs, aligned to appropriate legislation, and will be within a reasonable distance, usually up to twenty (20) miles from the Resident's usual place of residence, as detailed in the Council's Choice Policy, unless the Resident chooses a care home outside the 20-mile radius. Where there are no Placements within a reasonable distance that can meet the Resident's assessed needs, the Council will consider locations outside of the reasonable distance. Schedule 1 (the Specification) of the Framework Agreement sets out the minimum requirements a Service Provider must follow when delivering Services to Residents whose needs fall under the designated Lots of: • Lot 1 - Residential for Older People • Lot 2 - Residential for Older People with Dementia • Lot 6 - Nursing for Older People • Lot 7 - Nursing for Older People with Dementia The Service Provider must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to deliver residential and/or nursing care for Residents aged 65 and over. The Service Provider must also hold registrations for other care category specialisms to meet both primary and secondary needs of Residents, making this clear in their statement of purpose. If a Resident has multiple care needs, their primary need decides the Lot they are placed under. Needs may change over time, so the Council expects the Service Provider to be flexible either by meeting changing needs or ensuring a smooth transfer to another service provider if needed. The Service Provider must accept referrals for all types of Care Home stays which include: • Long Stay: A placement within a residential or nursing care Home where the intention is that the Placement shall be the Resident's permanent residence. • Temporary Stay: An individual who needs to stay in a residential or nursing care home for (i) a limited period where there is a plan to return to their own home (ii) a period of further assessment. The stay should be unlikely to exceed fifty-two (52) weeks. • Respite Stay: A short stay in a residential or nursing Care Home for someone normally cared for at their own home, giving their carer a temporary break usually up to eight (8) weeks. Respite stays can be both planned and unplanned. An unplanned respite stay is where respite care is required within twenty-four (24) hours to support carer crisis. Care home provision for 18 - 65 year olds will be the subject of a separate procurement exercise. The Choice Policy requires the Council to source a care home placement that meets the assessed eligible needs within a reasonable distance of the person's usual place of residence, and the Indicative Personal Budget will be determined by the most cost-effective placement that can meet those needs. When developing the tender documents the Council has taken regards to the key objectives set out in the Procurement Act 2023: a. delivering value for money; b. maximising public benefit; c. sharing information; d. integrity; and e. removing or reducing the barriers faced by SMEs.
