Improve Framework (Capital Delivery and Planned Works)
Authority: The Hyde Group (Public body)·On behalf of: Echelon Consultancy
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionEchelon Consultancy are delighted to be procuring on behalf of Hyde Housing Association a framework for the delivery of Capital and Planned Works. The proposed lots are: Kitchens and Bathrooms, Windows and Doors, Conservation & Heritage Works, Roofs, Electrical Installations, Infrastructure and Improvement Works, External & Communal Decorating, Flooring, Aids & Adaptations, Damp & Mould remediation, Ground Works, Whole House refurbishment Estate Investment. The framework is one of three being developed by Echelon, and will be managed by Pretium Frameworks (part of the Echelon Group), along with the Maintain Framework (Repairs & Empty Homes) and the Protect Framework (Compliance Services). The Framework will cover the aforementioned workstreams, and will provide national coverage, with defined geographical areas offering its Clients (Local Authorities, Housing Associations and Registered Providers, as well as all other Public Sector bodies) complete flexibility to call off services to meet need and demand. The framework will be for a period of four years but will also offer the ability call off longer term contracts exceeding the original framework length. Workstreams will also be split into different value bands, to encourage both SME's and Tier One organisation's. The survey as part of this Preliminary Market Engagement notice is asking for your views and options on various aspects of the intended framework. This survey should take approx. 15-20 minutes to complete and all answers provided as part of this survey are completely anonymous and as such, we would please ask for your honest views and opinions, so that we can ensure that the framework offers maximum flexibility for both Clients and Suppliers.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
No small-firm winners recorded among this authority’s published awards in this sample.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
No winner locations published for this authority. Local means a registered address in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 70 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS: the price is set later, on each call-off.

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.
