Published requirement descriptionLivv Housing Group has a stock of approximately 13,000 homes and whilst their main area of operation is currently Knowsley, services may also be required within the wider Liverpool City Region. In addition to this, the Group also has some outlying stock in the broader North West area.
The Livv Maintenance team currently consists of approximately 120 operatives providing a range of services including responsive repairs and maintenance services, cyclical works, planned investment and voids work to ensure the Group's housing stock remains in an excellent condition.
The Group is seeking bids for a framework of contractors to support Livv Maintenance in conducting responsive repairs, maintenance work and void property works across multiple lots. The framework is divided into two workstreams:
- REPAIRS: covering responsive repairs and maintenance to occupied properties. Lots 1 to 16
- VOIDS: covering works to empty properties ahead of re-letting. Lots 17 to 32
Each Voids lot mirrors the trade scope of its corresponding Repairs lot but is tendered and awarded separately.
Bidders can bid on one or more lots. The full-service specification is included within the Supporting Information section of this tender.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 14 Jul 2030, 23:59 BST.

CHANGES TO REFERENCED TECHNICAL AND ACCREDITATION STANDARDS
The specification references third-party technical and accreditation standards (including in relation to gas, electrical, and renewable heating installations) that are governed by external bodies and subject to change independent of this framework, including in response to government policy. Should such standards change materially during the framework term, this may necessitate a modification to specification requirements for the affected lot(s).
TUPE
It is likely that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 will apply in connection with this framework, although the specific contractor(s) affected, and the staff involved, will depend on the identity, ranking, and lot allocation of successful bidders. Should TUPE liability be identified following award, this may necessitate a modification to the pricing or terms applicable to the affected Contractor(s).
PHASED REGULATORY IMPLEMENTATION
The Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025 are being implemented in phases, with phases 2 and 3 not yet in force at the point of award. Should further phases come into force during the framework term, this may necessitate a modification to the specification or performance requirements applicable to the relevant lot(s).

Livv Housing Group is preparing to procure a new responsive repairs framework and is inviting interested contractors to take part in a short, optional preliminary market engagement exercise ahead of the formal tender.
This involves completing a short online questionnaire, covering your organisation's details, the lot(s) you would be best placed to deliver, and your capability and capacity in those areas.
Participation is voluntary, will not affect eligibility to bid, and does not constitute a pre-qualification stage or confer any advantage in the subsequent procurement. Responses will help inform the final shape of the tender.
The questionnaire can be accessed at the link below and must be submitted by 17:00 on Friday 24th July 2026. The formal opportunity to bid will follow separately via a Tender Notice published on Find a Tender.
