Managing Agent Services for the Co-Operative Development Society Limited

CDS is a charitable community benefit society first established in 1975 to support the development of new housing co-ops. Our core purpose is to provide, support and promote co-op and community-led housing – so that more people can shape the things that matter to them – at home, in their neighbourhood or community. We truly value our cooperative roots and we are committed to supporting cooperation as an effective business model and as a set of valuable skills. As part of our ongoing efforts to support the co-op and community-led housing sector we have procured a managing agent for Frameworks designed to deliver flexible, technology-enabled repairs, maintenance, consultancy and major works services to us and other similar organisations. The Services required by the framework agreement include, but are not restricted to:

• Open Framework managing agent services (setting up the Open Framework)
• Open Framework management software supply services (supplying a software solution that enables CAs to electronically call-off from the Open Framework)
• Open Framework consultancy support services (providing administration and support services to CAs)
• Other Managing Agent Services

The Framework Agreement will be entered into as a trading subsidiary of CDS.
