Reactive Repairs & Empty Buildings
Introduction
The Reactive Repairs & Empty Buildings Framework, managed by Fusion21, is a structured procurement route designed to address various property-related needs, including maintenance, repairs, and refurbishment. This framework is active until 30th September 2026 and falls under the Facilities & Estates category. It is a traditional framework agreement rather than a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), providing a definitive list of pre-approved suppliers for public sector contracting authorities.
Context & Use Case
Contracting authorities that require efficient and reliable solutions for reactive repairs and management of empty buildings can leverage this framework. It addresses both immediate repair needs and longer-term refurbishment projects, ensuring properties remain functional and secure. The framework is particularly useful for managing empty properties, which can pose security risks and incur additional maintenance costs if not properly maintained. Using this framework, authorities can quickly engage competent suppliers to address these issues, thus safeguarding community assets and maintaining property value.
Scope of Services
The Reactive Repairs & Empty Buildings Framework covers a broad range of services tailored to property management and maintenance. Typical services include: 1. Reactive repairs for unforeseen issues such as plumbing, electrical faults, and structural damage 2. Maintenance services to keep properties in optimal condition, including grounds maintenance and landscaping 3. Refurbishment work to update or restore properties, ensuring they meet current standards and requirements 4. Security services to protect empty buildings, including surveillance and physical security installations
Who Can Apply
The framework is open to suppliers who specialize in property maintenance, repair, and security services. It includes a diverse range of suppliers, from large organizations to smaller, specialized firms. Suppliers interested in becoming part of future frameworks should monitor Fusion21's announcements for new opportunities, although this particular framework does not accept new applications during its term.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from this framework through compliance with procurement regulations, ease of access to a vetted supplier base, and the potential for cost savings. The framework allows for direct awards, enabling a swift procurement process that can be tailored to specific needs and timelines. Furthermore, the framework’s comprehensive reach across the UK ensures that services can be localized, catering to regional and local requirements.
