Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

CHIC, a housing consortium, is setting up a framework agreement worth about £158 million, which is a pre-approved list of roofing contractors that its member housing providers can call on for work over the coming years. It covers flat, pitched and specialist roofs, including green and blue roofs, in homes as well as public and commercial buildings.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver roofing work in one or more of three lots: flat roofing, pitched roofing, and specialist roofing (such as blue and green roofs) • Carry out repairs and cyclical maintenance, planned roof replacements, and complex roofing projects within each lot • Include roofline, guttering and chimney replacement or repair works in residential, public and commercial premises, with specialist lot work requiring specialist design expertise, manufacturer accreditation and advanced technical capability

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state financial or insurance thresholds, but the very large framework value and the requirement for manufacturer accreditation and specialist technical capability in the specialist lot would most likely rule out small firms that lack these credentials or the capacity to deliver at scale.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.

Where to apply

The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
