CHIC NEWBUILD FRAMEWORK 2023

Description

CHIC intends to procure an 8-year Newbuild Development Framework for construction works and consultancy services. The framework will cater for a wide range of project types, from small infill and garage sites to large estate regeneration projects including newbuild, refurbishment/retrofit and cross subsidy housing for sale. As CHIC works across the UK development will include a diverse range from traditional 1/2/3 storey buildings to medium and high rise. Although generally housing focused, being Housing Associations and Local Authority landlords, members are more diverse (education, health, commercial sectors), so the Framework is being procured for a wider range of needs than just housing. The framework will provide a variety of different solutions needed for certain projects, providing options to select the most appropriate ‘route to market’ for specific projects whilst supporting and promoting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and comprise the following lots: Lot 1 – Consultancy Services for newbuild and regeneration projects Workstream 1- project manager/contract administrator/employers agent/ quantity surveyor Workstream 2 – Architectural Services Workstream 3 – Engineering Services (Structural and Civil) Workstream 4 – Principal Designer Lot 2 – Development Contracting Services Workstream 1 – Newbuild Main Contractors Workstream 2 – MMC Manufacturers – Fully Modular Workstream 3 – MMC Manufacturers – Frame& Panel Workstream 4 – MMC Turnkey Contractors LOT 3 – REGENERATION CONTRACTORS Provision of services of contractors which can combine any range of the following works and services: • traditional newbuild (brick and block) • MMC newbuild (whole building and/or pods) • refurbishment • building conversions • decarbonisation retrofit • infrastructure improvements • housing for sale (by Employer or Contractor) Contracts awarded under the Framework may or may not involve consultancy services or works also awarded under this Framework. For each workstream the contractor can select the size/value of projects for which they wish to apply and the size and scale of buildings (low/medium/high rise).All workstreams operate independently of one another. Where a project is a mixed development of residential and refurbishment/upgrade works and potentially commercial buildings or schools and community buildings, the framework may also be used to deliver the regeneration and non-residential element. Lot 1: Lot 1 – DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANCY SERVICES WORKSTREAM 1 PROJECT MANAGER/CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR/EMPLOYERS AGENT/ QUANTITY SURVEYOR Members (Employers) may require a range of project management/contract administration and related services according to project type, scope and value and determined by their own internal capacity. This Framework will give flexibility for those services to be defined at contract call off stage and may involve any, some or all of pre-construction services, construction stage services and post completion services, including on-going project monitoring. WORKSTREAM 2 ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES Members (Employers) may require to directly appoint Architects to provide design solutions for sites and projects, to provide planning advice and support, secure planning consents and to work with contractors and other consultants to achieve viable projects. Design may involve standard house types (an expectation for MMC projects), bespoke designs and be for low, medium and high-rise buildings. Architectural services will be primarily for pre-construction phases but may involve construction stage and post completion/monitoring services. Where the Employer adopts a ‘design and build’ contract approach, the Architects role may or may not transfer to the Contractor becoming the Employer. Architects may be required to work as part of a multi-disciplinary project team for pre-construction services, including a contractor(s). WORKSTREAM 3 ENGINEERING SERVICES (STRUCTURAL AND CIVIL) Members (Employers) may require to directly appoint engineers to provide structural and/or civil engineering design and related services for any size and range of projects. Building designs may involve standard house types or bespoke design solutions and be for low, medium and high-rise buildings. Engineering services will be primarily for pre-construction phases, to support the Employer to secure planning consents for viable schemes but may involve construction stage and post completion/ monitoring services. Where the Employer adopts a ‘design and build’ contract approach, the Engineers role may or may not transfer to the Contractor becoming the Employer. Engineers may be required to work as part of a multi-disciplinary project team for pre-construction services, including a contractor(s). WORKSTREAM 4 PRINCIPAL DESIGNER Members (Employers) may require to directly appoint Principal Designers to plan, manage, monitor and co-ordinate health and safety risks in the pre-construction phase of a project and then to continue these duties through the life of the project.
