This opportunity is a national framework listed by LHC on behalf of:
Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA)
LHC
Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC)
Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA)
South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA)
LHC/SPA is seeking interest from suitable organisations for our Manufacture and Supply of Domestic Kitchens and Associated Products (K7)
This procurement exercise is to establish a replacement to our successful K6 - Kitchen Supply framework. the scope of this framework will be the manufacture and supply of high quality domestic kitchens, worktops, and associated products which should be suitable for use in both public sector housing and non-housing buildings throughout England, Wales and Scotland.
Building on our existing K6 framework, with K7 we are focusing on enhancing the supply of affordable and quality kitchen ranges including, inclusive (disability) ranges.
The framework is based on manufacture and supply only, there is no installation element expected to be delivered through this framework.
The framework is to be tendered under 2 lots:
Lot 1: Domestic Kitchens
Lot 2: Domestic Kitchens - Supported Businesses
For the Scotland region only, LHC have introduced a Lot 2. The requirement of Lot 2 is identical to that as set out in Lot 1; however this lot is reserved for bidders who are considered a Supported Business.
This reservation is being implemented by LHC in accordance with Regulation 21 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
In accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a supported business is considered to be an economic operator whose main aim is the social and professional integration of disabled or disadvantaged persons and where at least 30% of the employees of the economic operator are disabled or disadvantaged persons.
For clarity, only organisations that are classified as a supported business will be able to bid for Lot 2, and this will be for delivery within the Scotland region only.
All other bidders should apply under Lot 1.
Please note as part of the bid assessment process LHC intend to carry out a scored factory visit at the main manufacturing location for the products that will be supplied by the bidder for this framework. During the tender period organisations that express their intention to bid for this opportunity will be requested the details of their factory location to enable LHC to plan the number and locations of likely factory visits to be carried out.
