Tender 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 decision to end 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 Planned Works Framework, is being procured to deliver a number of planned works programmes including component replacements and elemental renewals. Whilst Unitas will have directly employed tradespeople, they will primarily be focussed on responsive repairs activity.
