PLANNED MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR FRAMEWORK

Description

Radius Housing seek to appoint suitably skilled and experienced Contractors to a Planned Maintenance Contractor Framework. Tenderers may apply for a single work Lot, i.e. Lot 1 or Lot 2, or apply for both Lots, subject to fulfilling the Eligibility Criteria as outlined in the CFP Stage 1 Eligibility Questionnaire for each Lot. LOT 1 CYCLICAL MAINTENANCE/MINOR WORKS PROJECTS: Lot 1 will primarily be for planned maintenance type works that are generally of a cyclical nature (ie kitchen replacement, bathroom replacement, window replacement etc) or for other minor works type individual projects which may include adaptations for people with disabilities, extensions, minor internal alterations etc and up to contract value of circa £750,000.00. The indicative estimated annual spend for Lot 1 will be in the region of £5,000,000.00 to £8,000,000.00 p.a. LOT 2 MULTI ELEMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS: Lot 2 will be for larger Multi Element Improvement projects. These works will include significant refurbishment works to multiple units and/or communal spaces, or for other works that fall outside of the remit of Lot 1. There is no upper limit for Lot 2 projects, but it is expected that projects will generally range from £500,000.00 to £2,500,000.00 (but possible that projects of up to £5,000,000.00 may occur). The indicative annual estimated spend for Lot 2 will be in the region of £5,000,000.00 - £8,000,000.00 p.a. The estimated spend noted above is indicative only and Radius Housing cannot guarantee that these amounts will be spent annually on each Lot. Radius Housing will permit Tenderers to apply for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 or for a single Lot only. Tenderers will indicate their preference within the CFP Stage 1 (Eligibility Questionnaire). The contract is estimated to be above the threshold were the Procurement Act 2023 applies. The Procurement method to be utilised is a Competitive Flexible Procedure as set out at Regulation 20(2(b)) of The Procurement Act 2023 (the Act or PA23). This Competitive Flexible shall consist of a number of stages outlined below and explained in further detail throughout this document and in subsequent documents as the procurement exercise will progress: STAGE 1: Conditions of Participation (CoP) The CoP Stage allows for the pre-qualification of Contractors and will provide Radius with sufficient information to allow Contractors to be selected for further stages. Contractors’ responses will be evaluated against the criteria set out in these Instructions and the accompanying documents in this CoP Package (CoPP). Contractors must respond to all the questions in the CoPP and must provide all the supporting information requested. STAGE 2: Tender Stage Contractors short-listed from the pre-qualification process will be invited to participate in a competitive tender process. Shortlisted Tenderers will be issued with comprehensive tender documents which shall provide sufficient information for tenderers to submit a bid. The Award Criteria shall be on the basis of Most Advantageous Tender or Lowest Acceptable Cost. Radius Housing reserve the right to run multiple stages in the procurement competition in order to identify the Most Advantageous Tender. The Tender Stage Instructions will provide full details of this stage. STAGE 3: Post Tender Negotiation (Optional) The Contracting Authority may award the procurement competition to the Most Advantageous Tender / Lowest Acceptable Cost after the assessment Stage 2. The Contracting Authority also reserves the right at its sole discretion following the completion of the evaluation of all responses and the identification of the Most Advantageous Tender / Lowest Acceptable Cost Offer according to the award criteria to enter dialogue with the most advantageous tenderer in order to refine elements of the contract, service, specification, social value offer, sustainability and or cost prior to the execution of the Framework Agreement and or Call Off contracts. Nothing stated in this ITT or during the Competition is or shall be relied on as a promise or representation as to the future or a commitment by the Authority to award or enter into any contract. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to not award to the lowest or any tender or to discontinue this Procurement Competition at any time.
