Published requirement description

Established in 2004, Procurement for Housing (PfH) is a national procurement consortium dedicated to the social housing sector and supported by the National Housing Federation (NHF), Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and HouseMark. Collectively our Members manage more than 90% of UK’ social housing stock, with PfH helping them to achieve efficiency savings using a wide range of services including framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems, spend analyses, strategy reviews, consolidated billing and comprehensive reporting.

PfH is a contracting authority under Regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”) and a central purchasing body under regulation 37 PCR 2015.

Please refer to www.pfh.co.uk ↗ for additional information.

PfH is administered by Inprova Limited (Inprova) and is headquartered in the North West of England with over 20 years of expertise and experience offering a complete procurement solutions package across outsourcing, technology and consultancy. By integrating procurement services and technology, Inprova operates as a delivery partner supporting business performance improvement for both public and private sector clients.

PfH have sought qualified and experienced contractors and suppliers to establish a framework agreement for a range of fire safety works measures. The framework will be divided into seven lots with regions and value bands. A separate framework has recently been procured for Fire Safety Consultancy services.

CPV: Burglar and fire alarms · Cladding · Cladding works · Dampers · Emergency lighting equipment · Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings · Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services · Fire doors · Fire suppression foam or similar compounds · Fire suppression system · Fire-alarm system installation work · Fire-alarm systems · +14 more

    Accreditation and regulatory requirements are set out in the tender documents.

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.
  • “PFH Fire Safety Works Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 50 suppliers, not a single contract.

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