13 lots · all with a published value

Every one of these 4 lots carries the same published figure, £4,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Development Works up to £5mPublished value£50,000,000

Watford Community Housing is seeking Tenders from suitably skilled and experienced suppliers for the provision of Development works and services under this four-year, multi-lot framework.

Lot 1 is for Development projects up to the value of £5m.

The framework is to operate across Herts, Beds, Bucks and the surrounding Home Counties/London Boroughs and will be open to all UK public sector bodies to access via an Access Agreement between WCH, the supplier and Pretium Frameworks Ltd, who WCH has appointed to administer the framework on their behalf. Additional information: Lot 1 is envisaged to be particularly suitable for SME Contractors.

Please refer to II.2.11) Information about options (above) for additional information relating to lot bidding criteria.

Delivery: East of England, London, South East · Herts, Beds, Bucks and surrounding areas
Extensions: At the end of the 4 year term of the framework, WCH reserve the right to extend the framework for a further 12 months. The purpose of the potential extension is to enable WCH to deliver its 5 year development programme. Where works are estimated to have a value that falls in the overlap value between Lots 1 and 2, the Authorised User has the option to procure through either Lot (i.e., to invite Framework Suppliers from either Lot 1 or Lot 2). For Lots 1 to 4, where there is insufficient interest to an expression of interest for any potential call-off under a specific Lot, the Authorised User reserves the right to approach Framework Suppliers on the adjacent Lot. For example, if an expression of interest is placed under Lot 1 and there is insufficient interest expressed by Framework Suppliers within that Lot the Authorised User can then access Lot 2 as an alternative. The definition of “insufficient interest” will vary by Authorised User but will generally be defined as a minimum of three Suppliers expressing an interest for a mini-competition.Variant bids: not allowed
