Housing Repairs, Voids & Retrofit Dynamic Market
Housing associations face repairs backlogs, damp-and-mould duties, building-safety work and retrofit targets, while much of their spend flows through national consortia frameworks. This example shows a landlord’s own local Dynamic Market on the eSourcing Data platform: local trades apply any day of the year, qualify once, and compete for work packages that keep spend and social value in the community.
Permanently open under the Procurement Act 2023, no closing date, apply any time.
Categories in this market
Conditions of participation
Typical published entry criteria for a market of this kind, proportionate, transparent and assessed the same way for every applicant.
- Trade certifications for the relevant category (e.g. Gas Safe, NICEIC, PAS 2030 for retrofit)
- Insurance and financial standing proportionate to package size, SME-friendly thresholds
- Safeguarding, DBS and resident-safety commitments for in-home working
- Local delivery capability and social-value commitments
- No applicable exclusion grounds; documents monitored through membership
How the market runs
- Permanently open. Unlike a framework, a Dynamic Market never closes to new entrants. Suppliers can apply to join at any point in its life, there is no missed deadline.
- Assessed within a reasonable time. Applications must be assessed against the published conditions of participation within a reasonable period, membership is an operational process, not a one-off gate.
- Every tender reconsiders applicants. Before each competition, pending applications must be considered. New suppliers are never locked out of upcoming work the way they are on a closed framework.
- Operated end to end. Application triage, compliance monitoring, call-off competitions, award and transparency notices and reporting are run by the eSourcing Data team on the live platform.
