Rooftop and High Rise Inspection Surveys

Tender description

Gentoo currently has twenty-three high rise blocks within its stock across Sunderland. In addition to these, Gentoo also has ten bespoke/specialist medium-rise blocks located within various other areas. The purpose of this Tender is to procure a framework of consultancies with previous experience in external survey works to buildings of this type. The successful consultancy(s) will be required to attend the buildings and to carry out a visual inspection of the roof coverings and any other element which does not form the fabric of the building. On completion of the survey, a full, detailed schedule will be required to be completed by the Consultant. This schedule will identify all works required to that block with a priority/risk weighting applied. Gentoo will also require a new elevation drawing to be supplied which will be marked up with all of the repairs required. The surveys are to be carried out to each block on a biennial basis (once every two years). This framework is due to commence in August 2020 and run for approximately four years, concluding in March 2024. Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions in place, this notice is being used to garner interest from potential bidders. However, if it is discovered that not enough interest can be gained, the issue of the documentation may need to be delayed.
