Published requirement description

Guinness through its subsidiaries, Guinness Development Ltd and Guinness Homes Ltd

(amongst other subsidiaries), commenced a build programme aiming to deliver 5,500 new

homes by 2024. We are committed to building safe, high quality, well designed homes where

people want to live. Using our financial strength, experience and scale, we are building new

homes and communities across the country at a range of price points and tenures – from

private sale to social rent.

Progress is being made and to support the delivery of the programme Guinness and its

subsidiaries wish to establish a Framework for MEP Engineer Services. This will support the

delivery of a significant programme of new build schemes over the term of the framework.

Guinness estimates this programme could mean up to 36 individual schemes commencing

over the next four year period. The future programme is expected to focus on larger 25 to

500 unit schemes though it may include some smaller schemes as required. Guinness gives

no guarantee on the volume of work allocated through the framework.

The framework is split into three regional lots and it is anticipated that up to three suppliers

will be appointed to each lot. Approximately 50% of spend for new schemes is most likely to

be in the London and South East, with 30% in the North and 20% in the South West Regions.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30–32 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 30 points.
  • “MEP Engineer Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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