Building construction work

Tender description

Please refer to the description of the procurement. Cardiff Council ‘the Authority‘ currently has the following frameworks providing domestic building maintenance services and disabled adaptations: Domestic building maintenance This framework is divided into 3 lots/districts. The scope of works for each lot is identical and includes responsive repairs, vacant repairs and planned works. Disabled adaptations This framework is divided into 3 lots: Lot 1: general building adaptations, Lot 2: stair-lifts/vertical lifts, Lot 3: preventative services. Both of the existing frameworks are due to expire next year and the authority is currently in the process of scoping this requirement to determine how best to deliver the future provision. There is a large internal workforce that delivers approximately 85 % of the responsive repairs to the domestic stock. There is also a separate internal workforce that delivers a small proportion of the vacant repairs. It is the intention that this continues. At this stage the authority has not formed a definite view on how to deliver the future provision for its domestic property portfolio, but is considering that the future provision would be best met with the following approach. Framework 1: repairs and maintenance to vacant properties with an approximate annual value of GBP 2.9 million; Framework 2: responsive repairs and maintenance to domestic properties (including compliance works) with an approximate annual value of GBP 2 million; Framework 3: minor planned works to domestic properties with an approximate annual value of GBP 5.9 million. (In addition to this it is proposed that a number of arrangements for specialist works/major planned works will be procured outside of this arrangement). Framework 4: Disabled adaptations with an approximate annual value of GBP 5.5 million. However as these are frameworks there is no guarantee of these values/volumes of work as circumstances change and the frameworks are used to call off as required. Any potential solution must be capable of delivering the following desired outcomes: — to deliver a high quality service that focuses on the customer; — to deliver a building maintenance service that works alongside the in-house workforce to improve and maintain flexibility of provision and provide 24/7/365 services; — to deliver value for money; — to reduce costs for the Council and suppliers alike, through electronic ordering, confirmation and payment processes; — to maintain the improvement in the quality of management and performance information; — to improve our demand management for building maintenance services; — to take a partnership working approach to delivering and improving services; — to support the Council’s sustainable development agenda by maximising tender opportunities to local providers, as well as opportunities to provide training and skill development to the local workforce; — to support the Council’s commitment to social responsibility.
