qualified and experienced service providers to enter into a long-term partnering arrangement for the delivery
of a programme of 'Better Homes' refurbishment works the ("Programme") to its residential housing stock
comprising approximately 6,281 properties in the contract area, of which 1,441 are leasehold and 4,840 are
tenanted. The number of properties may increase or decrease over the term of the Programme. The Authority
intends to enter into a Framework Agreement under a bespoke form of TPC2005 (amended 2008) with a
maximum of three successful service providers for a period of 48 months, although call offs may extend beyond
that period. It is anticipated that the Authority shall instruct the works comprising the Programme via a direct
award equally between the top two-ranked contractors on the Framework. Further information on the instruction
of works under the Framework will be provided at tender stage. Call offs will be awarded in annual Task Orders
subject to satisfactory performance by the service provider against pre-determined Key Performance Indicators.
Call offs will be made throughout the life of the framework agreement, including the final year. The Authority
is keen to pursue the government's sustainability agenda and to combat fuel poverty among residents. The
Authority is also keen to explore other means of improving sustainability in their properties and therefore the
tender documents will include opportunities to submit proposals for other "added-value" ecocommitments.
The service providers may also be required to assist the Authority in the identification and delivery of energy
saving initiatives and energy wide offers to the Authority's built assets. Bidders should be able to demonstrate
experience of and commitments to long-term partnering relationships and engagement with residents and
propose strategies for developing continuous improvement. The Authority wishes to support people who are
in long-term unemployment including young people not in education, employment or training and small and
medium enterprises to ensure that there is specific capacity to deliver the service it requires and promote
sustainability through its procurement. Therefore this contract may contain community benefit clauses as
allowed within Regulation 39 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006.
