The Authority provides homes for rent, shared ownership and outright sale as well as providing a range of support services to a variety of client groups requiring extra care. The intention of The Authority is to improve service and quality to their customers when building new homes.

The Authority has headquarters in Northallerton and together with its affiliates operates predominantly in North Yorkshire and has housing stock in Hambleton, Darlington, Richmondshire, Harrogate, Redcar and Cleveland, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby, East Riding of Yorkshire, York and Leeds.

The Authority wishes to procure a Framework Agreement for use by itself and its affiliates, pursuant to which it is envisaged that contracts will be let to Providers within the Framework Agreement for the provision of new build housing and associated external work.

Under the Framework Agreement the Authority and each of its affiliates will have the option to call off contracts with individual Suppliers as and when works are required, though Suppliers should note that, under the Framework Agreement, neither the Authority nor its affiliates shall be under any obligation to the Framework. The Framework will also be available to joint ventures in which the Authority or any of its affiliates participates.

The intention is to separate the Framework Agreement into 3 Lots and appoint a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 contractors as Providers for each Lot. The Framework Agreement will provide a mechanism for issuing contracts on a call off basis but there is no guaranteed minimum value and no guaranteed minimum number of contracts that will be awarded to each Provider within the Framework.

The lots are divided on contract value:

Lot 1 Projects with a Value of 0-1 000 000 GBP

Lot 2 Projects with a Value of 1 000 000-3 000 000 GBP
