Repair and maintenance services of building installations

Tender description

Yorkshire Housing Ltd invites tenders for contractors to participate in a 48 month framework agreement for the supply of repairs and maintenance services to YH housing stock. Services will be delivered under call-off Contracts awarded via direct award or mini-competition processes. The agreement will be used by YH, and may also be used by all other subsidiaries of the YH group of companies, both current and future. The estimated total value of the primary call-off contract to be awarded under this framework (covering the South region) is 6 000 000 GBP. The total framework value of 12 000 000 GBP is not a guarantee of expenditure and would be based on other YH regions awarding R&M contracts under this framework. It is not certain at this point whether such contracts, will or will not be awarded via this framework. Therefore total framework value of 12 000 000 GBP is to provide capacity on this framework for YH over and above the primary call-off contract (South region) to be awarded. Yorkshire Housing Ltd (‘YH’) invites tenders for organisations (‘Service Providers’) to participate in a 48 month Framework Agreement (‘the Agreement’) for the supply of repairs and maintenance services (‘Services’) to YH housing stock (‘Property’). Full details on the range and types of services required are detailed in section 3 of the tender document. Services will be delivered under call-off contracts (‘Contract’) awarded via direct award or mini-competition processes. The agreement will be used by YH, and may also be used by all other subsidiaries of the YH group of companies, both current and future. Therefore, the envisaged approach is as follows: YH have issued this tender to create the Agreement from which contracts will be awarded. The first and primary package (covering YH’s South geographical region) is intended to be awarded on a direct award basis to the service provider that ranks first following evaluation of submissions to participate in the Agreement. Further packages of services covering other YH geographical areas may be awarded on a direct award or mini-competition basis. YH reserves the right to access the proposed Agreement as required by the needs of the business. Therefore YH cannot provide any guarantees and/or commitments that Services for areas other than the South will be awarded through this proposed agreement, as such alternative procurement methods may be utilised and/or Services may be internalised via the YH Homeworks division. The initial contract for services under the agreement covering the South region is to be awarded using the NHF form of contract with the NHF Schedule of Rates (Version 6) as the cost model. The duration is to be 2 years, with options to extend by two further increments of 12 months. Thereby the total contract duration for the South region is 4 years. The agreement will comprise of a single lot with a maximum of 5 service providers awarded a place on this agreement to ensure appropriate capacity and competition should further packages of services be awarded.
