What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionOpen Framework procured for Peterborough City Council in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, for the provision of adaptations including extensions, internal alterations, level access showering facilities and associated works in domestic properties; The installation of minor aids and adaptations in domestic properties.
The overall aim of the works specified within the Care and Repair Open Framework Agreement is to assist and support elderly, vulnerable and disabled local residents (adults and children) to live independently and be warm and safe. The work will be undertaken in conjunction with the Home Service Delivery Care and Repair Team within Peterborough City Council. The work will predominantly be in the Peterborough City Council Unitary Authority area. Most will be in the city, but some will be in the surrounding areas of Peterborough.
The specific aim for each contractor of the Open Framework Agreement and Schedule of Rates is to:
- Use responsive, suitably qualified, and experienced, competent and knowledgeable contractors
- Use locally based contractors to aid in the responsiveness of the service
- Produce high quality work with minimum disruption for clients
- Obtain value for money
- Commence work promptly following the receipt of an order
- To complete the work promptly
- Work in occupied properties with the minimum disruption to the client who will be included in one or more of the following categories: elderly, disabled (mentally and/or physically), vulnerable, on a low income. This list is not conclusive.
The expected benefits of procuring work this way are a reduction in delays and poor experiences with contractors, and a consistent and shortened timescale from date of first enquiry to completion or work.
The work is in Peterborough City Council (PCC) Unitary Authority area through the Peterborough Home Services Delivery Care and Repair Team (C&R). The adaptations will often be funded by Disabled Facility Grants approved by Peterborough City Council. However, the Level Access Shower schedule of works may be used for work that the Care & Repair Team manages which is funded privately, by charities, benevolent funds, by Adult Social Care or Children's Services. It may also form the basis for work which Peterborough Care & Repair may arrange on behalf of other local Councils.
The minor aids and adaptations, which is predominantly of low value (under £1,000), is funded from Adult Social Care Budgets
The Authority intends for the Open Framework to last for the maximum possible term of 8 years, conforming to the provisions concerning reopening as set out in Section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023.
- Not divided into lots: In order to streamline the tendering process so as to allow easier participation by SMEs, the Open Framework utilises a Schedule of Rates which itemises all possible works to be delivered under this Open Framework. Suppliers may add prices for whichever elements of work they wish to deliver, ignoring all others. This helps reduce the amount of documents to be completed by suppliers, simplifies bidding instructions and reduces administrative burden on the Authority.

- There is no limit to the number of providers who may be awarded a place on the Open Framework. As such, providers who are awarded a place on Framework 1 will not have to re-submit a Bid to join subsequent Frameworks under the Open Framework, and will instead have their contracts extended in accordance with the overall Open Framework term. Therefore, the Council shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to extend Framework 1 of this Open Framework Agreement beyond the initial term, by a further period of up to five years, in two increments of two years and one increment of one year (each increment being an "Extension Period"), making a total possible Term of eight years. Subsequent Framework Agreements (Framework 2, 3 etc) awarded under this Open Framework shall be extended as necessary to allow them to align with the overall Open Framework term of 8 years.

| Maplethorpe and Mooney LtdSME2 Nov 2026 — 1 Nov 2028 · up to 1 Nov 2034Extensions: There is no limit to the number of providers who may be awarded a place on the Open Framework. As such, providers who are awarded a place on Framework 1 will not have to re-submit a Bid to join subsequent Frameworks under the Open Framework, and will instead have their contracts extended in accordance with the overall Open Framework term. Therefore, the Council shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to extend Framework 1 of this Open Framework Agreement beyond the initial term, by a further period of up to five years, in two increments of two years and one increment of one year (each increment being an "Extension Period"), making a total possible Term of eight years. Subsequent Framework Agreements (Framework 2, 3 etc) awarded under this Open Framework shall be extended as necessary to allow them to align with the overall Open Framework term of 8 years. With respect to planned reopening: Framework 1 will reopen during its second year, unless it is extended by a further 12 months, in which case it will reopen during its third year. Framework 2 will reopen during its second year, unless it is extended by a further 12 months, in which case it will reopen during its third year. Framework 3 will not reopen and will run until the end of the 8-year overall term of the Open Framework, unless otherwise terminated by the Authority, or the Authority decides to reopen the Open Framework additional times, leading to more than 3 Frameworks overall. With respect to LGR: Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is the process in which the structure and responsibilities of local authorities are reconfigured. The Government has set out plans to move away from the current two-tier system of district and county councils in England, which is relevant to Cambridgeshire County Council, the five district councils in the county (Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council), and Peterborough City Council as a neighbouring unitary council. Therefore, from 1 April 2028, the current seven councils in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough may be replaced and no longer exist. Rather than dealing with separate county, city and district councils, residents will access all services through a unitary council(s). At this stage, no decisions have been made on how many unitary councils will cover the county and which geographical areas they will cover. Throughout the LGR process, the Authority's focus will remain on delivering essential services across Peterborough. Potential changes may occur during the term of the Open Framework, and although framework agreements are likely to transfer to any new unitary authorities by statutory instrument or be agreement on LGR, the framework agreements may need to be amended to reflect the new geographical, financial and contract scope. Therefore, to ensure the Open Framework may adapt upon implementation of LGR and modify to reflect the implications of LGR, we state within this procurement documentation of the intention to rely on Section 74(1)(a) and Schedule 8(1) of the Procurement Act 2023 to permit modification of the of the framework agreement (if modification is considered necessary), to reflect new geographical, financial and contract scope accordingly. Please note we cannot precisely confirm any modification, if any, to the geographical, financial and contract scope at this stage, and any proposed modification, if agreed, shall not be implemented until 1 April 2028 at the earliest. Any contract modification shall be in accordance with clause 29 of the framework agreement. | ceiling above | 6 Oct 2026 | Awarded |
