Description

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.

The Framework Agreement has been entered into between CDS Co-operatives (as contracting authority) and Plentific (as supplier). CDS Housing Solutions Company Limited (a trading subsidiary of CDS) will also be a party to the Agreement.

Plentific is a UK-based property technology company providing a digital platform for the procurement and management of repairs, maintenance, planned works within the social housing sector. The platform is widely used by housing associations and local authorities to source, onboard and manage contractors through compliant and transparent processes.

CDS Co-operatives in partnership with Plentific as Managing Agent, will be going to market for suppliers to deliver Repairs, Maintenance, Planned and Major Works Services. The procurement will be under an Open Framework, and the tender notice is estimated to be formally published in April 2026 on the Central Digital Platform; in compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.

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.
