Repairs and Maintenance Dynamic Market
Framework Description
South East Consortium's Repairs and Maintenance Dynamic Market is an open-access route under the Procurement Act 2023 that replaced SEC's Repairs and Maintenance DPS when it closed in August 2026. Five lots cover responsive repairs, voids, planned maintenance, damp and mould, and combined works, each split into annual contract value bands from under £500,000 to £8 million and above. Suppliers can join at any time through In-Tend.
Context & Use Case
Social landlords use it to let repairs and maintenance contracts above the minimum value of £213,477 excluding VAT. The damp and mould lot supports landlords meeting Awaab's Law, which sets deadlines for dealing with hazards, while the voids and responsive repairs lots cover day-to-day housing management. Each contract is competed among suppliers admitted to the relevant lot and band.

Who Can Apply

Buyer Benefits
Landlords under pressure from Awaab's Law need contractors they can mobilise quickly on damp, mould and other hazards. Value bands let them compete smaller contracts among right-sized firms, and an always-open market keeps fresh local capacity coming in as demand rises.
Next Steps
Register on In-Tend, choose the lots and value bands that match your turnover and contracts, and apply with insurances, health and safety accreditations, accounts and social housing references. For the damp and mould lot, show diagnostic competence and response times against Awaab's Law deadlines. Then bid selectively in competitions where you have local capacity.
