NE Procurement (NEP), is a consortium of social housing providers located in the North East of England. NEP wish to establish a four year non-binding framework agreement for the provision of external works on their residential properties. Works will predominantly be required in the North East of England and North Yorkshire but may be required in other areas of the UK. Works are primarily required for planned maintenance and investment programmes, however it is envisaged that works may be required for other activities such as voids, as well as responsive and one-off repairs and maintenance, new build and potentially disabled adaptations, where applicable.
The purpose of this procurement process is to establish a framework of contractors in respect of:
Lot 1: Pitch Roofing and ancillary works (Design & Build - Supply & Fit and 'Directed' Supply & Fit);
Lot 2: Flat Roofing and ancillary works (Design & Build – Supply & Fit);
Lot 3: Porches and Canopies (Labour Only);
Lot 4: Painting and pre-paint repairs (Supply & Fit);
Lot 5: Landscaping (Supply & Fit);
Lot 6: Brickwork (Supply & Fit);
Lot 7: External Wall Insulation ('Directed' Supply & Fit);
Lot 8: Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation (Supply & Fit and 'Directed' Supply & Fit).
Supply & Fit and 'Directed' Supply & Fit - In some cases NEP may wish to utilise their existing materials supply chain. In these cases contractors will be required to operate on a 'Directed' Supply & Fit basis.
The works to be completed via Lot 7 and Lot 8 are likely to include Eco & Green Deal related activities along with any similar initiatives that may arise over the period of this framework.
Contractors may apply for one or more lots, but must be able to carry out all of the works within the lot(s) applied for.
It is the intention of NEP to split the available work into packages, defined by both work type and geographical zone, with the aim of encouraging participation from a wide spectrum of companies with a range of capacity levels. Details of the call off methodology will be confirmed in the Framework Agreement issued with the ITT. The following contracting authorities will be entitled to call off under the NEP Framework Agreement as and when required:
