Pool of Small Contractors Framework to Deliver Repairs to Vacant Domestic Properties

Tender description

Cardiff Council "the Authority" is currently considering procuring an arrangement for a pool of small contractors to help to deliver repairs to its vacant domestic properties. The Authority’s Voids Team manage the works being delivered to bring void properties up to a standard required for a new tenancy. As a property becomes vacant, a technical manager visits the property, assesses the repair requirements and creates a schedule of the works required. The Voids Team currently then either deliver the repairs via their in-house team or pass the property to an external contractor who will undertake the works. The Authority is looking to procure an arrangement for pool of small contractors to support the in-house team in their delivery of repairs by completing a specific category of work. It is anticipated that there will be a requirement for the following categories of work: - Clearances - Gardening / Landscaping - Asbestos Removal - Kitchens & Bathrooms - Painting & Decorating - Carpet & Flooring - Windows & Doors - Electrical Works - Plastering - Structural Works - Gas / Heating - Asbestos Surveying - Deep Cleans - Carpentry - Roofing - Scaffolding - Glass Supply & Installation - Plumbing - Structural Surveys - Screening - Fire Safety / Fire Stopping It should be noted that Bidders will be able to apply for single or multiple categories of work. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee of work and the arrangement will be used to call off as required. At this stage the Authority has not formed a definite view on the structure of this arrangement and intends to hold a supplier event via Microsoft Teams to discuss the potential structure; and to this end the Authority would welcome potential interested parties to register their likely interest in this matter. Details of the forum are yet to be finalised, so further communication will be issued to those who have registered an interest with details of the day. However, it is currently anticipated that the event will take place on the morning of Tuesday 15th June.
