Description

Scope and Delivery of Work:

Mixed procurement (Goods/Works) focused on the supply and installation of fire door sets across our estate over a 3-4yr period. The successful tenderer will be expected to supply and install approximately 250 fire doors per annum inline with the Specification provided. We assume you will engage a Resident Liaison Officer (RLO) and will liaise directly with the residents regarding, surveys, installation dates, general updates, correspondents, access arrangements and any issues that arise before, during and after the works.

Programme scale and duration:

We intend appointing for an initial contract period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months. We operate a two year budget but estimate our 2026-27 - 2028-29 budget will be up to £1.8m for fire door replacements and we expect to maintain similar budgets in future years. Therefore we estimate the max term spend to be up to £2.5m.

Geographical distribution:

Housing Solutions was originally formed from transferred Local Authority homes in Maidenhead. These still form the majority of our homes (at least 70%), although there are post-1995 developments in Reading, High Wycombe, Slough, Bracknell, Farnborough, Wokingham, and other locations in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

Programming:

We will leave programming of the work to you. We may have a small number of high-priority cases needing to be done earlier, but in general we would give you our address list for each financial year (April to March) and you can determine your own programme to deliver it. We expect that once work on an individual property have commenced, they are completed within 1 working day where practicable and this target will form part of the KPI suite.

CDM:

We will appoint the Quoin Consultancy as Principal Designer, you will be appointed Principal Contractor. We assume you will prepare the key documents and Quoin will check them against the regulations.

Pricing:

All relevant pricing is to be submitted via the Pricing Matrix (Appendix 6) as all-inclusive (meaning they must include all aspects required to supply and install full fire door sets). To ensure a fair and like-for-like comparison; Tender prices are to be offered and agreed on the basis that pricing will be fixed for the first 2 years of the contract.
