Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive

Published justification

This Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) relates to temporary short-term contract agreements to provide common and domestic Repairs, Maintenance and Void services. It supersedes the VEAT previously issued in respect to this scope of services dated 21/03/23. Having sought advice, to meet our immediate and medium term statutory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be awarded under Regulation 33 (1) (c) utilising the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice ‘for reasons of extreme urgency’.

Glasgow West Housing Association (GWHA) as procuring agent for Glasgow West Housing Association, and subsidiary Glasgow West Enterprises intend to enter into a temporary short-term agreement to provide Common & Domestic Repairs, Maintenance and Void services with a single multi-trade contractor, to meet our short and medium term service needs.

This stage 1, short-term agreement will additionally serve as a ‘pilot’ marketplace test model for a maximum period of 12-months. This will allow time to engage with the wider sector, and other potential service providers for our common & domestic repairs, maintenance and void services beyond this initial stage 1 period.

This informed decision based on; the ongoing marketplace uncertainty reflective of the post-Brexit economic environment, the far reaching impact of the war in Ukraine, recent challenges faced by RSL’s relating to similar services, and the current cost-of-living pressures; while concurrently seeking to ensure effective continuity of our services and statutory obligations to our service users.

Comprising stage 2 of this process, over the next 12-months, GWHA intend to undertake a holistic business and sector wide strategic review of our common & domestic repairs, maintenance and void strategy. This process will commence with internal planning and strategy review 2023 Q1 with a target effective date contract date of 1st July 2024.

To assist shaping our plans for that contact we will be issuing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to ingather marketplace intelligence and views on a range of issues in connection with the future direction of these services, and look forward to what is considered critical sector feedback at that time.

Publisher note: It should be noted that this VEAT notice is intended to inform the market of the intention to award a contract under Regulation 33 (1) (c) and whilst the PCS system under section V.2.1) Date of conclusion of the contract/concession 16/06/2023, requires an award date prior to the notice publication for the avoidance of doubt it should be noted that the contract has not been entered into prior to the publication of this notice.
