Stock Condition Surveys

Enfield Council is seeking to appoint a single suitably qualified Consultant to deliver stock condition surveys across its housing stock of approximately 15,800 properties, which include tenanted, leasehold and high-rise blocks. The surveys will refresh the Council’s stock condition data in its Apex asset management system and support the following:

its 30-year Business Plan and Housing Asset Management and Sustainability Strategy;

Decent Homes Standard and HHSRS compliance;

the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018;

Awaab’s Law;

its net zero carbon by 2040 and SAP 86 by 2030 targets.

The services comprise:

validation surveys of existing records, and more comprehensive attribute and characteristic surveys where data is missing or unreliable;

whole-block surveys, including an internal sample of about 10% of dwellings;

HHSRS assessments, with immediate reporting of Category 1 hazards (and Category 2 damp and mould);

RdSAP EPC assessments by accredited energy assessors where instructed;

resident liaison, appointment management and no-access evidence;

weekly reporting, trackers and data uploads, plus a 50-property pilot.

The programme is indicatively 20% of stock per year, called off at fixed rates irrespective of volume variation. The lead Consultant must be a Chartered Building Surveyor on the RICS Accreditation Register.

Not the total contract value is only inclusive of the initial term, not the extension periods.
