Published requirement descriptionDelivery of fire remedial works to properties owned and managed by Southern Housing. This opportunity comprises two frameworks (lots) with intended maximum duration of four years each, as follows:
Lot 1 - Low Value Projects - Delivery of Projects of low value most suited to SMEs - estimated value 25,000,000.00 Framework GBP incl VAT, per annum - It is envisaged four Contractors, with the option to appoint five Contractors, will be appointed for this lot
Lot 2 - High Value Projects - Delivery of Projects of higher value most suited to larger Suppliers - estimated value 35,000,000.00 GBP incl VAT, per annum - It is envisaged four Contractors, with the option to appoint five Contractors, will be appointed for this lot
Suppliers are to note that in accordance with Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023, Southern Housing are electing to limit the number of lots a Supplier can apply for within this process.
Southern Housing are keen to ensure they have due regard for Section 12 of the Procurement Act, in relation to removing barriers to participation for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
A Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) is defined as:
•fewer than 250 staff (see paragraph 8 above); and
•less than or equal to 44,000,000.00 GBP in annual turnover or a balance sheet total of less than or equal to 38,000,000.00 GBP.
Southern Housing have therefore taken the decision to establish two lots for this opportunity.
Suppliers are encouraged to have due regard for the information above when applying for this opportunity.
Pre-market engagement has not been deemed necessary for this opportunity as the scope was already well defined.

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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Low Value Projects | 60% | 40% | |
| 2 · High Value Projects | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Southern Housing Fire Remedial Frameworks” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
