title = "Performance based partnership forms for maintenance by Dutch housing associations",
abstract = "Dutch housing associations develop new procurement methods for maintenance of their housing stock. Performance agreements are being developed to replace traditional tenders by longer-term cooperation. OTB Research Institute is doing research on performance-based maintenance contracts with the focus on the clients, especially housing associations. These agreements promise, among other things, the optimal use of know-how of parties involved. The development of performance-based partnership forms for maintenance varies greatly according to the type of maintenance and building components concerned. In general, the partnership forms can be described as: price and performance agreements for maintenance activities, long-term cooperation and lump sum performance-based contracting. The role of maintenance contractors broadens to advisers. Not all possibly occurring defects have to be used in performance-based agreements. Long-term co-operation can be based upon decisive performance requirements directly linked to the specific functions of a building component. The contractors themselves should monitor the degradation processes by performing performance measurements.",
