In plain English

St Albans City and District Council wants a contractor, or contractors, to look after its council housing. The work covers day-to-day repairs, repairs to empty homes before they are re-let, gas and heating repairs, safety checks, and a major programme of upgrades to the homes themselves. The estimated total value is £200,000,000, split into two lots: responsive repairs and planned works.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a 24/7/365 responsive repairs and maintenance service across the council's housing stock, including damp and mould remediation, disrepair works, gas-fired heating and boiler repairs, garage repairs and electrical installation repairs. • Carry out void repairs and refurbishments to bring empty properties up to the council's letting standard before they are re-let. • Deliver planned capital works such as kitchen and bathroom replacements, heating upgrades, electrical rewires, window and door replacements, roofing, external envelope repairs, fire and building safety works, energy efficiency retrofit, structural defect repairs and asbestos management. • Take full design and build responsibility, acting as Lead Designer and, where required, Principal Contractor under the Building Regulations.

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The £200,000,000 estimated value, the 24/7/365 service obligation, the strategic alliance working model, and the requirement to take full design and build responsibility as Lead Designer and Principal Contractor across the whole housing stock would likely rule out most small businesses.

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.
