What is being bought

Published requirement description

The domestic property portfolio of the Council comprises a mixture of social housing (approximately 13,723 properties in number) and other properties. Maintenance of these properties is undertaken by the Council via a mixture of in house provision and external contractors.

Approximately 90% of responsive repairs are undertaken by the in house workforce of the Council with only capacity and specialist works being issued to external contractors.

Dwellings will vary in age and condition and bidders are advised to make due allowance for this.

This tender process is in relation to responsive repairs and maintenance to domestic properties.

The Council has an in-house workforce delivering responsive repairs & maintenance to domestic properties, and this framework would be to support the in-house workforce by completing works that it does not have the capacity or specialist skills to deliver (e.g. asbestos works) to complete.

The Council is seeking to appoint 2 Contractors do deliver a similar volume and value of works. Each contractor would predominantly deliver works in an allocated district of the city, although cross district award will be permitted, for example where there are capacity or performance issues. The estimated annual value is GBP2m (approximately GBP1m per Contractor).

  • Recurrence: Future tenders will be issued prior to the expiry of this Framework.

Lot #1This work will generally comprise of Work in occupied properties / communal areas/…AwardedRenewal

This work will generally comprise of Work in occupied properties / communal areas/ garage sites/ traveler sites/ hostels.

Work is generally instigated at the request of the tenant / occupier

Predominantly this will be singular activity work (for example – Renew ceiling including painting on completion) but may involve associated works (for example – removal or replacement of a radiator for plastering a wall).

There are three main priorities of work:

  • Emergency - Response within 2 hours and completion within 24 hours

It should be noted that the following types of work could fall into the responsive repairs category:

Fire Damage:

  • Work in occupied properties
  • Small value / single activity work (for example – smoke damage to one room) but may involve associated work (for example – removal or replacement of a radiator for plastering a wall).

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.
  • “FRAMEWORK FOR RESPONSIVE REPAIRS TO DOMESTIC PROPERTIES” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.

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