Richmondshire District Council is one of the largest districts in England.

It has a population of 51,400 (according to the most recent information

available on the Richmondshire District Council website) and covers 509 square

miles. Richmondshire District Council is one of the most sparsely populated

District Councils in the country, its boundaries stretching from the River Tees

to Cumbria.

Richmondshire District Council owns and manages a housing stock of 1,600

properties, most of which are of traditional construction. The Council intends

to appoint a single contractor and is now seeking expressions of interest from

suitably experienced contractor partners to be invited to tender for the works

shown below.

The planned replacement works will be allocated annually and will consist of

some or all of the following types of works:

External Doors & Windows;

Kitchens & Bathrooms;

Roofing, Soffits, Fascia’s and Gutters;

Central Heating, including Boiler Replacements;

Rewiring;

Asbestos Removal; and

Installation of Residential Sprinklers and Residential Solar Panels.

The anticipated annual value of these works could be in the region of

£1.2 million and it is expected work will commence in year one no later

than 1 June 2015. It is currently envisaged that the form of delivery contract

will be a TPC2005. It is intended that call-offs shall be made throughout the

life of the contract including the final year and may last beyond the life of

the contract.

It is anticipated that TUPE may apply.

The term of the contract is sixty (60) months with the option to extend for

a further forty eight (48) months, which will be at the Council’s discretion.

The Council will have no rights to use alternative suppliers during the term of

the contract.
