Thurrock Council is planning to spend approximately GBP 100m over the next 5 years on both internal and external refurbishment and improvements works to existing homes.

The value of works for the new build developments is estimated to be around GBP 200m over the next 5 years.

The first framework is a Design and Consultancy Framework - Housing Capital Programme which will cover professional services for the design and management of the works. The second framework will cover contractors to deliver the works. This OJEU notice covers only the first framework.

The Design and Consultancy Framework - Housing Capital Programme is divided into three lots Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3. Please see the Lot section for a full breakdown of each lot requirements. Suppliers will be able to express an interest for all lots or one individual lot should they wish to do so.

(a) How what is proposed to be procured might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the area where it exercises its functions, and
(b) How, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to securing that improvement

Accordingly, the subject matter of the contract has been scoped to take into account the priorities of the contracting authority relating to economic, social and environmental well-being. These priorities are described in the invitation to tender and are reflected in environmental and social characteristics in the evaluation criteria for the award of the contract
