The framework agreement will be used to source relevant services required to fulfil the council's landlord duties in respect of its portfolio of 15,000 social housing properties and 900 corporate assets. The scope of relevant framework services is summarised within Section II.2.4. below. The framework agreement may also be accessed by Gosport Borough Council and Southampton City Council, however the council can provide no guarantees in respect of usage by these additional named Contracting Authorities. Three consultants have been appointed a place on the framework agreement on a ranked basis. Summary information on how the framework agreement will operate is set out within Section II.2.4. below. The framework agreement has been established via, and concurrently with, the award of two significant council call off contracts, being 1) 18m+ Project Contract for 36 weeks and 2) Individual Surveys Contract for 2 years + optional ext. up to 5 years, details of which are summarised within Section II.2.4. below. Tenderers submitted bids for both contracts and the council awarded both contracts to the overall highest scoring tenderer, F R Consultants Ltd, who was also appointed as the number 1 ranked consultant on the framework agreement. Bailey Partnership LLP and Vemco Consulting Ltd were awarded 2nd and 3rd place on the framework respectively. The framework agreement will run for a duration of 4 years from 10th August 2023 to 10th August 2027. Total spend let via the framework agreement over the 4-year term is estimated at between £2.2M - £8.3M based upon the breakdown set out below: • Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 1 '18m+ Project' = £1.2M - £2M • Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 2 'Individual Surveys' = £1M - £1.5M (over max 5 year term) • *Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 3 '11-18m Blocks' = £2.5M - £3M • **Gosport Borough Council = £400,000 - £600,000 • **SCC Demand = £800,000 - £1.2M *This call off contract will only be let in the event that the Building Safety Regulator reduces the height of "higher risk" buildings to 11m during the term of the framework agreement. **These estimates are based upon values which were provided by each of the named Contracting Authorities. The council provides no guarantee in respect of the accuracy of these estimates or any guarantee that the Contracting Authorities will call off from the framework agreement. The value of individual surveys commissioned via council (Call Off Contract 2) is expected to vary form between £500 to £15,000 per building. However, the council may also commission packages of surveys which may be of a higher value. These ranges are purely indicative and no minimum or maximum values for surveys or packages of surveys will apply.
