In plain English
Livv Housing Group, which manages about 13,000 homes across Knowsley and the wider Liverpool City Region, is looking for contractors to join a framework to carry out repairs, maintenance and empty property works. They want to split this into two separate streams: one for repairs to occupied homes and one for preparing empty properties for new tenants.
What the buyer wants
• Provide responsive repairs and maintenance services to occupied rental properties across multiple trade specialisms (joinery, plumbing, electrical, gas, drainage, heating systems, pest control and general building work) • Carry out void works (repairs and upgrades to empty properties before they are re-let) in the same trade categories • Work across Knowsley, the Liverpool City Region, and parts of the broader North West as required

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most solo traders and very small businesses will struggle because Livv Housing manages 13,000 properties across multiple geographical areas and will expect contractors to handle high call-out volumes, hold full professional certifications in their trade, and carry substantial insurance; framework contractors also typically need proven experience on housing association or similar large-scale property contracts.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
