Dunedin City Council Seeks Reactive Maintenance Partner for Community Housing Units

The Dunedin City Council (DCC) is proposing a reactive maintenance contract for the 942 Community Housing units owned and managed by the Council. A wide range of maintenance services are required including carpentry, electrical, painting, plumbing, flooring, roofing, glazing and cleaning.

Additionally, at the discretion of the DCC, the contract includes minor remedial works with Voids (vacant units) where similar services are required to be provided to prepare a vacated unit for the next tenancy.

The successful Respondent will have a dedicated team of experienced, skilled tradespeople that can deliver consistently high standards of workmanship for reactive maintenance tasks and some minor planned work. Improved knowledge of asset condition is vital to the DCC.

The successful supplier must be able to collect, collate and communicate back to the DCC asset data so this may be utilised to establish and implement preventative maintenance programs, where relevant. The DCC wants a partner organisation that will take ownership, apply innovation or suggest areas of improvement.

We are seeking a maintenance partner that will view the needs of our residents as inseparable from their own and work in their interests to provide the best possible solutions in a safe, secure and respectful manner at all times. For a well performing Supplier, a long term contract is on offer with the option, at DCC discretion, to extend the contract from 3 to 6 or 9 years.
