Barrhead Housing Association (BHA) is committed to delivering a multi-million programme of investment and maintenance across our existing stock over the next 30 years. This will ensure that all our properties meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SQHS) and the Energy Efficiency Standards for Social Housing (EESSH).
All contracts are procured in line with recommended best practice and legislation as set out in the Scottish Procurement Act 2014. BHA is a founder member of the I-FLAIR procurement framework which offers a more streamlined and time efficient route to procure maintenance services through a pre-tendered framework which is focussed on delivering value for money to housing associations. BHA is also a founder member of the Scottish Procurement Alliance which is another pre-tendered framework that is available to procure contracts and services.
We have set our budget and programme for planned maintenance annually. In determining what items need replace within any development/property, we take into account things like the repair history; the money available from our rental income; the general condition of each item needing replaced; availability of parts; continued compliance with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (2015); compliance with the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing, EESSH target for 2020, and any changes in legislation and the age of each item.
The information used to prepare the schedule for BHA’s investment programme is based on our latest stock condition survey which was completed in 2017. The stock condition survey information looks at the individual components of each our properties internally and externally and helps us schedule the replacement of these components through the investment and maintenance programme.
