Title

Framework Agreement for Pool of Small Contractors

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

The Council’s Voids Team manage the works being delivered to bring void properties up to a standard for a new tenancy.

As a property becomes vacant, a Technical Manager from the Voids Team visits the property and assesses the repair requirements and creates a schedule of works required.

The Voids Team then allocate the property (and repairs) via one of the following routes:

• In-house workforce

• One of the current contractors appointed to the Framework for Repairs & Maintenance to Domestic Vacant Properties.

•

Following extensive consultation, the Council has determined that the best way forward for the delivery of vacant repairs is a combination of the following:

• In-house workforce

• Framework Agreement for Repairs & Maintenance to Domestic Vacant properties (2 external contractors).

• A pool of smaller contractors to assist the in-house team, who can be called upon to complete specific activities (for example painting, carpentry etc.).

This tender process is in relation to the framework agreement for Pool of Small Contractors.

The Council is seeking to engage multiple Contractors to create this pool, who can be called upon to complete specific work activities.

Whilst the work is predominantly in vacant properties, there will be some work in occupied properties which will be instructed by the Responsive Repairs Unit.

The Council will be both the Client and the Principal Contractor.
