Merchant Services
Social housing providers are responsible for managing a wide range of services and facilities to ensure their tenants’ needs are met. One of these services is the procurement of goods and materials necessary for maintaining and repairing properties, such as plumbing and heating supplies, electrical goods and building materials.
CHIC’s Merchants DPS enable social housing providers to source and purchase a wide range of materials and goods required for their day to day operations in a compliant and cost effective way. Effective merchant services can offer significant cost savings for our members. By using a compliant and transparent route to market, you can benefit from competitive pricing and economies of scale. This can help to reduce the overall cost of materials and other associated costs, freeing up resources that can be used to improve other areas of service delivery.
