Scope
Description
This framework covers both reactive and planned maintenance services for drainage, flooring, and electrical systems across Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Somerset Council sites. Contractors will deliver emergency call-outs, routine repairs, and scheduled works in compliance with the specification.
The framework will be split into the following three lots:
- Lot 1 - Planned and Reactive Drainage Works
- Lot 2 - Planned and Reactive Flooring Works
- Lot 3 - Planned and Reactive Electrical Works
The maximum total value of this framework is £10,000,000 excluding VAT. This figure is not an estimate of anticipated spend; it has been intentionally set at a higher level to ensure sufficient capacity for all potential call-off contracts over the full maximum framework term of eight years.

Contracting authorities that may use the framework
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust will act as the Lead Authority for this procurement process. While it is expected that the majority of services will be delivered at Yeovil District Hospital, the resulting framework agreement will be accessible for use by all sites within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, Simply Serve Limited and Somerset Council.
The Authority reserves the right to extend the use of this framework to additional sites operated by these organisations during the term of the agreement, where such inclusion is operationally necessary and consistent with the scope of services described in this specification. Any new sites added will be communicated to suppliers in advance.
