Published requirement description

External & Communal Pre Construction Services and Works to Houses Framework

Rev01

Multiple Supplier Framework (of up to three contractors per Lot) to undertake various services and works related to improvement and planned maintenance works, by means of Pre-construction Services Call-offs and Works Call-offs.

This Framework is to be split into 3no Lots as follows:

LOT 1, Pre-Construction Services and External works, to low rise properties

LOT 2, Pre-Construction Services and External works, to high rise properties

LOT 3, Pre-Construction Services and Communal works, to low rise and high rise properties

The following descriptions are indicative of the types of services and works that may be commissioned under each Lot. In addition, other similar services and works may also be commissioned.

Bidders should note that the estimated value below consists of the provisional budget allocated within the capital plan for all contractors.

The actual value per contractor will be expected to be a much smaller proportion following distribution of work amongst an anticipated 3no framework contractors per lot. Work and budgets per contractor will also be affected by work carried out by direct in-house resources, contingency allowances, non-access to properties, efficiency savings, and subject to regular reviews and re-allocations of priorities by the Council.

The non-binding target is that each framework contractor would receive approximately:

Lot1 GBP2-4Million of work turnover per year;

Lot2 GBP1-2Million of work turnover per year;

Lot3 GBP0.3-1Million of work turnover per year;

The framework contractors will also be required to perform to the council's key performance indicator targets, and community benefits expectations (described elsewhere)

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.
  • “External & Communal Pre Construction Services and Works to Houses…” 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.
