Employer's Agent Services Framework
Authority: The Guinness Partnership (Public body)
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Guinness Partnership Limited and its subsidiaries have commenced a build programme
aiming to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024 and 12,550 homes by 2030. We are committed
to building safe, high quality, well designed homes where people want to live. Using our
financial strength, experience and scale, we are building new homes and communities across
the country at a range of price points and tenures – from private sale to social rent.
Progress is being made but to support the delivery of the programme Guinness and its
subsidiaries wish to establish a Framework for Employer’s Agent services. This will support
the delivery of a significant programme of new build schemes over the term of the
framework. Guinness estimates this programme could mean up to 36 individual schemes
commencing over the next four year period. The future programme is expected to focus on
larger 25 to 500 unit schemes though it may include some smaller schemes as required.
Guinness gives no guarantee on the volume of work allocated through the framework.
The framework will also be available for use by other areas of Guinness as required for
example Asset Management. Clerk of Works services may also be required during the
duration of the framework.
The framework is split into three regional lots and it is anticipated that up to three suppliers
will be appointed to each lot. Approximately 50% of spend for new schemes is most likely to
be in the South, London and South East, with 30% in the North and 20% in the South West Regions.

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Employer's Agent Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 9 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
