Acquisition Programme Refurbishment Contract

Tender description

Canterbury City Council are seeking bids from suitable contractors to refurbish void properties acquired by the council to a lettable standard. Each acquired property will need a joint site inspection with the Contractor and the Contract Administrator to determine what works are required to each property to allow them to be re-let for ingoing residents. Each property will require varying levels of work including, but not limited to kitchen replacements, bathroom replacements, heating upgrades, electrical upgrades and rewires, timber and uPVC window and door replacements and repairs, adaptations for disabled people including flush floor shower installations, concrete ramping systems, handrails, grab rails etc. and general maintenance and building works to ensure the property is meets the requirements of both the Council and the ingoing resident. Property acquisitions are intermittent throughout the year and will provide a varied workload and programme. This is due to the legal process of completing a sale taking various amounts of time for each purchase. Therefore it is important to note this contract will require an adaptable approach to ensure works can start with relatively short notice and be able to work on several properties at any one time where required. For further information, please see the attached tender documents. All completed tender documentation must be uploaded to the Kent Business Portal no later than 23:59 on Thursday 19th May 2016. Any requests for clarification must be received no later than 23:59 on 8th May 2016. We will aim to respond to any requests for clarification by 12th of May or sooner if possible.
