We wish to advise all residents that we have just started the process of re-tendering the contracts for all grounds maintenance and cleaning across both London and Essex.

This is quite a challenging process and will take a number of months as we are required to advertise the proposed new Contracts in accordance with EU Regulations.

At the moment we have:

• advertised the new contracts and invited expressions of interest from contractors
• written to all our existing contractors to ensure they are aware of what we are doing
• written to all leaseholders with stage 1 consultation, as we are required to do by law
• commenced the process of establishing a Customer Procurement Panel, through which we will consult with on a regular basis.

We will keep tenants informed in future newsletters as to the progress we are making and any key decisions taken.

Should tenants wish to become more involved or wish to share any thoughts with us as we go through the procurement process then they are invited to either contact us via email at: procurement2009@familymosaic.co.uk or write directly to: Danny Lloyd, Procurement Manager at the Albion House office.
