Compliance Services and Associated Works DPS
Framework Description
Procurement for Housing's Compliance Services and Associated Works DPS gives social housing organisations access to contractors for safety and regulatory compliance. Its 17 lots cover heating and electrical work, access control, fire safety, asbestos, lifts, legionella, Mansafe systems, invasive plants and radon. Being a DPS, it accepts new contractors throughout its term, which ends on 30 September 2028.
Context & Use Case
Landlords use it to keep homes and blocks safe and compliant: servicing heating, testing electrics, assessing fire risk and fixing fire doors, dealing with asbestos, keeping lifts running and controlling legionella. Because each discipline has its own lot and each job is competed, a landlord can bring in a radon or knotweed specialist as easily as a heating engineer.
Scope of Services
Lots 1–3: heating servicing; electrical testing; access control Lots 4–8: fire risk assessments, sprinklers, fire doors, emergency lighting and fire equipment, passive fire works Lots 9 and 10: asbestos surveying and testing; asbestos removal Lot 11: Mansafe Lots 12 and 13: lift installation; lift servicing Lots 14 and 15: legionella testing; legionella treatment Lot 16: Japanese knotweed and invasive plants Lot 17: radon testing and monitoring

Buyer Benefits
Compliance failures carry legal and safety risk, so landlords want specialists they can trust and quick access to them. The DPS gives them vetted contractors in every discipline, competition on each job, and the option to bring in new firms when existing ones are stretched.
