two.1.4) Short description

Paradigm Housing Group (PHG) is setting up a Clerk of Works Framework which will comprise of three Framework Consultants.

Paradigm is a developing housing association building approximately 2000 new residential properties over the next five years. Our development portfolio comprises a mixture of land led & regeneration, joint venture, land & build package and S106 schemes across our area of operation.

Paradigm appoints a consultant Clerk of Works (COW) for every new build development project, to carry out regular (mostly weekly) inspections to monitor build quality on-site and to attend other meetings and investigate and monitor specific quality issues as required. The Clerk of Works is also appointed to monitor the quality of Mechanical and Electrical installations and to observe the commissioning of such installations where necessary.

The consultant COW plays a key role in delivering Paradigm’s quality strategy and forms an integral part of the project team, working closely with other consultants such as the Employer’s Agent, as well as the Contractor and Paradigm’s internal and external stakeholders. Because of these key roles, it is critical that Paradigm has access to suitably qualified and experienced consultant Clerk of Works with the capacity to resource projects adequately.

The estimated value of the Framework Agreement is up to £2,500,000.

The Framework will be in place for 4 years from 27th August 2024 to 26th August 2028. However, it should be noted that call-offs under the Framework may be longer in duration.
