What is being bought

Published requirement description

The framework provides asset management and professional consultancy services to support Sanctuary Housing and other public sector bodies in delivering their asset management, compliance and property development programmes. The framework supports Sanctuary Housing and other public sector bodies in accessing high-quality consultancy services to deliver their asset management, compliance and property development programmes. The framework offers services nationally, with an estimated value of £40,000,000 excluding VAT (£48,000,000 including VAT) over its four-year term. The framework comprises a single lot covering Consultancy Services, including project management, business process re-engineering and service improvement, options appraisals, partnering advisers, procurement services, transformation services, Building Safety Act duty holder services, health and safety consultancy, and related disciplines. The framework is accessible nationally and allows for both 'Award without Further Competition' and 'Further Competition' in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and associated Regulations. The framework is open to all UK public sector bodies (and others as detailed in the procurement documents) and may be accessed via an Access Agreement between Sanctuary, the Supplier and Pretium Frameworks Ltd, whom Sanctuary has appointed to administer the framework on its behalf. The framework is open to, but not limited to, any "Authorised User", which is defined as follows: (i) any entity within the same group of companies as Sanctuary from time to time (a "Sanctuary Member"); (ii) any entity or joint venture company that Sanctuary or any other Sanctuary Member holds an interest in from time to time (a "Sanctuary JV"); (iii) any Social Housing Provider in the United Kingdom (excluding Sanctuary, Sanctuary Members and Sanctuary JVs); (iv) any national, regional or local health authority, including NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts; (v) any educational establishment, including but not limited to primary and secondary schools, further and higher education institutions, academies and free schools; (vi) any other contracting authority in the UK as defined in the Procurement Act 2023; and (vii) any supply chain member of Sanctuary or any of the above organisations; and, in the case of the organisations listed in limbs (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above, who has entered into an Access Agreement with Sanctuary.

  • No preliminary market engagement: The market for this was felt to be too small to justify and a selection of potential bidders have been contacted directly

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Asset Management and Professional Support Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
