Inside Housing’s annual repairs and maintenance tracker found that landlords spent an estimated £5.4bn on repairs and maintenance in 2020-21.
Peter Francis, director of operations at Fusion21, said: “Recent figures have highlighted housing associations are spending around £5.4bn a year on repairs and maintenance services.
“We expect both demand and investment in this area to continue to grow, as the sector continues to recover from the pandemic tackling backlog repairs and disrepair works, while also striving to deliver best practice and increase customer satisfaction within communities.”
Interested parties have until 18 July to submit applications to the framework.
The framework is split into five lots:
- Lot 1: Responsive repairs and maintenance (worth up to £180m)
- Lot 2: Empty property refurbishment (worth up to £22.5m)
- Lot 3: Empty property security (worth up to £10m)
- Lot 4: Housing disrepair works (worth up to £36m)
- Lot 5: Contract centre services (worth up to £1.5m)
