The submission route named on the official notice.

CDS Co-operatives is a charitable community benefit society first established in 1975 to support the development of new housing co-ops.

Our core purpose is to provide, support and promote co-op and community-led housing - so that more people can shape the things that matter to them - at home, in their neighbourhood or community.

We truly value our cooperative roots, and we are committed to supporting cooperation as an effective business model and as a set of valuable skills.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support the co-op and community-led housing sector, we have procured a managing agent for Frameworks designed to deliver flexible, technology-enabled repairs, maintenance, consultancy and major works services to us and other similar organisations.

Our managing agent, Plentific, is a UK-based property technology company that will use its platform to manage this Framework, ensuring Contracting Authorities are able to access the services offered by Suppliers admitted to the Framework.

Services delivered by this Framework will be to domestic and commercial properties.

Domestic properties will typically consist of a mixture of domestic housing sites but not limited to bungalows, blocks of flats, and co-operative housing schemes and any other building owned and/or managed by our Framework contracting agent.

Commercial properties will include but not be limited to business units, office buildings and community centres.

The Framework will comprise four lots, with Contracting Authorities being able to source services from Suppliers by becoming users of the Plentific platform.

Applications under this Tender Notice are being sought SOLELY FOR LOT 1.

Information is also being provided for Lots 2, 3 and 4 and further Tender Notices for these lots are estimated to be published from December 2027.

Suppliers will be able to apply for admission to the framework at regular intervals.

Once the framework is operating, Contracting Authorities will be able to appoint Suppliers through direct award or mini-competition.

No framework has been previously awarded under the Open Framework.
