SECTION VI: COMPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
VI.3) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: CHG is committed to delivering innovative,
value for money services to its customers. 'Soft' market testing has
already taken place to engage potential suppliers in discussions regarding
innovation and CHG is keen to build on this in developing the tender
documentation. Furthermore, CHG is a developing organisation and will
continue it's growth strategy through organic growth (development and
stock transfer), acquisition and merger. This may increase the scope of
the repairs service within the Group for which this contract may apply.
However, there is no guarantee of using this contract to service new
assets within the Group.
The Purchasing Authority is acting on behalf of the following
organisations:
The Contracting Authority is Catalyst Housing Group (CHG) which comprises
three divisions: Catalyst Communities Housing Association (CCHA);
Kensington Housing Trust (KHT) and Fortunegate Community Housing
Association (FCHA). CCHA is part of CHG and in turn is divided into
regions, namely, London, Reading and Oxford. This Contract only applies to
those properties within the London area on behalf of CCHA. However, the
successful contractor may, from time to time, be asked to support the
other regions and operating divisions on an 'ad hoc' basis. Therefore, the
successful contractor will automatically be added to the approved list of
contractors within the Group for the other divisions and regions and may
be invited to tender for work outside of the subject matter of this
contract.
(MT Ref:62335).
