Specialist Works Framework

Description

Background Unitas Stoke-on-Trent Limited (Unitas) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stoke-on-Trent City Council which was established in March 2017 to deliver repairs and maintenance services for the Council’s housing stock and public buildings following the end of the current joint venture partnership with Kier Stoke Limited (Kier Stoke). The joint venture with Kier Stoke ends at midnight on 3 February 2018 at which point Unitas will commence delivering the services. Introduction A number of contractor frameworks are now being procured to support Unitas in the delivery of its repairs and maintenance obligations. This Framework, known as the Specialist Works Framework, is being procured to deliver a number of specialist works. Whilst Unitas will have directly employed tradespeople, they will primarily be focussed on routine repairs activity. About the Specialist Works Framework Valid for four years, there are 7 LOTS and contractors can apply for one or multiple lots. Up to three contractors will be appointed to each LOT for LOTS 1 to 6 (inclusive) and up to six contractors will be appointed for LOT 7. All works will be awarded following mini competition.
