Holme Avenue, Dalton, Huddersfield

Tender description

The scheme is an inherited design for 22 new build houses and the refurbishment of 1 semidetached bungalow at the above location. The original scheme has been updated for Stonewater Limited to suit their mix of housing needs. An Expression of Interest (EOI) document will be issued as part of the tender pack, which will outline the proposed project at a very high level, allowing prospective bidders to review and decide on whether they will participate further. Accompanying the EOI will be Stonewater's pre-qualification requirements. These will mirror the Selection Questionnaire used in all public sector tenders procedures and are designed to give Stonewater visibility of information from bidders, which relate to key project risks, as well as satisfying other internal governance requirements. If prospective contractors are interested in the project, they must complete the information required when registering their interest. Bidders will be asked to provide information about their organisation's financial and legal standing, as well as references of current/previous customers, details of their current insurance policies and responses to requirements on health & safety and data protection/governance. In addition to this, Stonewater will include questions, scored 0-5 related to some of their non-project specific organisational initiatives and how well bidders' policies match to these. The areas of coverage will be Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). As Stonewater intends to only take a maximum of 6 contractors through to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage, the scores from the questions will be used to assist with shortlisting bidders, where necessary. Please note that the scores obtained here will not contribute to the final outcome of the tender and are confined to the pre-qualification stage only. All bidders who are shortlisted through the details above will be issued with the ITT pack. This will require the completion of the Form of Tender, as well as providing responses to technical questions, specific to the proposed site. The questions will cover areas that are important to the project and will challenge prospective bidders to think about the additional value they can provide, beyond the standard remit, as well their commitment to the environment and the local community. The pricing requirements of the tender can be found in the Contract Sum Analysis, which will be provided to the bidders taken forward to ITT when the shortlist is created. Additional information: If contractors wish to bid for the requirement, details can be found through Stonewater's electronic procurement provider Delta eSourcing https://www.delta-esourcing.com/ The access code for the tender for the first stage of the tender process is GHF8D3T888. Prospective bidders should note the tight timescales for registering an interest in the project. However, they should also note that no detailed bid information is required, only the information required as part of pre-qualification. Specific details related to the tender will only be issued to shortlisted suppliers for the Invitation to Tender.
