Four Year Framework Agreement for Main Building Contractors for New Build Housing with a possible one year extension
Authority: Link Group·Consortium: 43 public authorities
What is being bought7 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionLink Group intends to enter into a Framework Agreement with a limited number of Building Contractors to provide construction services for a four year period with a possible one year extension. This may also include the provision of design and construction services. Link works in partnership with a number of subsidiary companies who will also be entitled to purchase works & services from the Framework Agreement. The subsidiaries of Link Group Ltd currently include, Link Living, C~urb 6 Ltd (C~urb), Horizon Housing Association Ltd, Larkfield Housing Association and West Highland Housing Association. Although it is possible that other organisations may join the Group, becoming subsidiary companies, during the term of the Framework Agreement, and may also wish to "call off" from the Framework.
Link also works in partnership with several external organisations, refer to Section 1.1 of the Contract Notice for further detail, who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. In addition, it is also intended that any Registered Social Landlord registered and operating in Scotland will be entitled to purchase works & services from the framework, subject to Link's prior agreement.
There is no guarantee of any work. It is however, more than likely that individual commissions will be "called off" either by direct selection or by mini tendering, within the terms of the Framework Agreement, to identify the most economically advantageous tender. The Framework Agreement will mainly cover the provision of construction works & services for new build housing, however individual projects may also include rehabilitation of existing properties, office and commercial properties, extensions, community facilities and adaptations, and planned maintenance projects.
The projects will range in size, tenure and type from mainstream housing to a variety of special needs projects. The tenure type will cover all affordable tenures, private rented and market sale. Applicants should have experience of projects within the social housing sector for projects between 5 and 500 units including flats, houses and retirement living projects with a mix of tenures.
The location of projects will vary but in the main will be located in the Central Belt of Scotland, Argyll & Bute and Highland, however individual projects may be located in any part of Scotland. The total number of units in each of the geographical areas may vary and specific numbers cannot be guaranteed in any area or in total.
Although individual projects cannot be guaranteed, Link will expect the successful contractors to deliver a high quality and value for money service.

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).
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Four Year Framework Agreement for Main Building Contractors for New…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 70 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
