Letting, Management, Maintenance & Factoring for properties within Edinburgh

The City of Edinburgh Council is responsible for one of Scotland’s largest housebuilding programmes, with a current target of directly delivering 10,000 homes. Social rented homes are owned and managed by the Council as the landlord. Mid-market rent homes are also being delivered through the programme with 370 currently under management and an expected pipeline of over 100 new homes to add to the portfolio each year. These homes are owned by the Council’s subsidiary Edinburgh Living. During this period of growth, the Council is reviewing the letting, management and maintenance requirements for Edinburgh Living’s mid-market rent homes as well as the factoring services that may be required across the mixed tenure estates being delivered through the programme. Factoring services are currently delivered to around 1,500 homes, a mix of social rent, mid-market rent and privately owned. The Council is therefore publishing this Prior Information Notice to notify the market of our upcoming opportunity and to give the market an opportunity to participate in finalising the Council’s procurement strategy and help shape the procurement process. Potential bidders are invited to download the market research questionnaire and complete no later than Monday 27th June 2022. Those who submit a questionnaire may be invited to a dialogue session with the Project team to expand on their responses.
