ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
CHG is committed to delivering innovative, value for money services to its customers. 'Soft' market testing has already taken place to engage potential suppliers in discussions regarding innovation and CHG is keen to build on this in developing the tender documentation. Furthermore, CHG is a developing organisation and will continue it's growth strategy through organic growth (development and stock transfer), acquisition and merger. This may increase the scope of the repairs service within the Group for which this contract may apply. However, there is no guarantee of using this contract to service new assets within the Group.
The Purchasing Authority is acting on behalf of the following organisations:
The Contracting Authority is Catalyst Housing Group (CHG) which comprises three divisions: Catalyst Communities Housing Association (CCHA); Kensington Housing Trust (KHT) and Fortunegate Community Housing Association (FCHA). CCHA is part of CHG and in turn is divided into regions, namely, London, Reading and Oxford. This Contract only applies to those properties within the London area on behalf of CCHA. However, the successful contractor may, from time to time, be asked to support the other regions and operating divisions on an 'ad hoc' basis. Therefore, the successful contractor will automatically be added to the approved list of contractors within the Group for the other divisions and regions and may be invited to tender for work outside of the subject matter of this contract.
