PUBLIC AND SOCIAL PROPERTY · SOCIAL HOUSING CONTRACTORS
Receive, respond to and return housing work through one clear record.
Give contractors a controlled route to understand the instruction, accept or decline, return declared information and retain the version accepted by the customer.
Designed for: Contractors receiving repair and maintenance instructions from councils, housing associations, managing agents or principal service providers.
THE OPERATING PROBLEM
Where the record becomes fragmented.
Contractors can receive work through portals, calls and forwarded emails, with scope details distributed across parties. The operational question is often: what exactly did we accept, and which return did the customer accept?
A provider-side record should support a clear response and correction cycle without claiming to replace job management or prove an operative’s physical activity.

EXISTING SYSTEMS
A bounded record—not a system replacement.
Contractor job-management, workforce, vehicle, H&S and invoicing systems remain in place. Verified Dispatch records the customer-provider exchange, not the contractor’s whole operation.

PRACTICAL FAQ
Questions from social housing contractors teams.
Does this replace our job-management software?
No. It records the external instruction-and-return exchange; workforce and job operations stay in your systems.
Can we retain the accepted version?
Yes. The receipt identifies which provider submission the requester accepted.
Does the receipt create a right to payment?
No. Contract, valuation, certification and payment processes remain separate.
