- How it runs
This procurement process will follow a multi-staged Competitive Flexible Procedure. An initial PSQ stage will be utilised to shortlist suppliers who will subsequently be invited to participate in the ITT stage.

Further detail can be found in the IFT document.
- Risks
- Change to statutory maintenance standards or environmental/ waste legislation: Amendments to applicable legislation, standards or regulatory guidance during the contract term may require changes to the frequency, scope, or method of servicing and inspection activities, or license requirements.
- Addition and/or removal of Anchor properties to the contract area: The portfolio may change through acquisition, development, disposal, or changes in management responsibility for residential or care home properties during the contract term. This would require in-scope programme asset inclusion changes.
- Introduction of new asset types: assets not currently listed in the contract scope that require inclusion within either programme.
- Changes to Anchor Plans or Policies: Anchor's internal documentation is subject to annual reviews and may be updated in response to legislative changes, new risk information, or changes in building use.
- Evolution of asset monitoring and telemetry technology: Remote monitoring, telemetry, and smart sensor technology for water assets is developing rapidly. Anchor may adopt new solutions during the contract term that require the Contractor to integrate with or operate different systems from those specified at contract award.
- Changes to Anchor's asset management or job management systems: Anchor's internal asset management platform or the Contractor's job management system may be upgraded or replaced during the contract term, requiring changes to system interfaces, data formats, or reporting workflows.
- Access Risk: Access to properties may be restricted due to resident refusal, vulnerability or other operational constraints in case and housing settings.
- Availability of Resources: Availability of suitably qualified personnel and supply chain resources may fluctuate during the contract term, particularly during periods of peak demand. This includes potential constraints in labour capacity, the availability of materials or specialist components required for remedial works.
