What is being bought

Published requirement description

Paradigm Housing Group (PHG) is setting up an Employer’s Agent Framework which will comprise of seven Framework Consultants.

Paradigm is a developing housing association building approximately 2000 new residential properties over the next five years. Our development portfolio comprises a mixture of land led & regeneration, joint venture, land & build package and S106 schemes across our area of operation. Paradigm appoints an Employer’s Agent for every new development project, and occasionally to provide general advice. The Employer’s Agent is a key consultant throughout the lifetime of each project providing pre-contract advice; compiling and administering build contracts, including the valuation and certification of works, monitoring programme and quality and ensuring that Paradigm receives compliant homes ready to be occupied; and managing defects post completion.

The estimated value of the Framework Agreement is up to £4,500,000.

The Framework will be in place for 4 years from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2028. However, it should be noted that calls-offs under the Framework may be longer in duration.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

How bids were scored
Quality: 60%Price: 40%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 60
  • Price: 40
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.
  • “Employers Agent Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.

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