KMCKNH-034a Framework for the Supply and Installation of Floorcoverings

Tender description

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the Council) and Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing Limited (KNH) wish to procure a framework for the supply and installation of floor coverings (the Services). This framework for floor coverings is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2017. It is anticipated that the Services will be delivered to KNH, the Council’s Building Services and Housing Solutions Departments, and from time to time other departments within the Council. The Services required are set out in this Specification and cover the following; • Carpet, underlay, gripper and associated products, vinyl, linoleum, stair carpet and sheet floorcovering including installation for KNH, the Council’s Housing Solutions Service and other departments within the Council. This requirement arises due to: • Decants (temporary moves) whilst the Council and KNH undertake major repair works to housing stock. • Permanent moves from housing stock, often where tenants are downsizing their homes and a tenant wishes the Council and KNH to pay for the supply replacement carpets (i.e. the Homefit Scheme). • The fitting of vinyl floorcovering to kitchens and bathrooms to housing stock due to repair and renovation works. • Void works. • New installations. • Discretionary decisions. • Office moves and changes of office layout. • The renewal of existing floorcoverings at KNH and Council premises. • Renewal of carpets and vinyl floorcoverings at nineteen (19) sheltered accommodation blocks and two community centres. The Services required will include but will not be restricted to; • Supply of a range of floorcoverings at agreed rates. • Carrying out of surveys and inspections. • The supply of sample books to enable design choices. • Remedial works to finished floor prior to floorcovering being fitted. • Supply and installation of underlay where required. • Supply and installation of door plates, capping, nosing and grippers. • The moving of furniture and goods prior to fitting and to return furniture and goods once work is completed. • Removal and clearance of all existing waste floorcoverings, waste materials, the existing floorcoverings and packaging materials to a designated recycling centre or licensed tip. Housing Solutions The Council’s Housing Solutions Service lets and maintains approximately one hundred and ten (110) houses and flats in Huddersfield (92) and Dewsbury & Batley (28). The service supplies properties with sheet vinyl floor covering to all rooms except stairs and landings which are carpeted. Keywords: Vinyl, Flooring, Carpet
