ABOUT US: NHG is one of the largest housing associations in the country, where around two in every 100 Londoners live in a NHG home. We are a not-for-profit organisation providing quality London homes at below-market rents for people that would otherwise struggle to afford them. We are both a landlord and developer, with more than 60,000 homes and a well-established commercial business, from which we reinvest to subsidise more affordable homes and rents across the capital. For more information, visit www.nhg.org.uk.

FRAMEWORK USERS: This framework will be available for use by NHG and any entity within the same group of companies as NHG (the current list can be found on our website.) It will also be available to any entity or joint venture company that we, or any other NHG  group member, holds an interest in from time to time. 
NHG may also (at its sole discretion) permit use of the Framework by any other contracting authority that is a provider of social housing operating in the Greater London area. This will be at NHG’s sole discretion and may be subject to payment of a usage fee. This includes providers of social housing including without limitation any Registered Provider (as defined in the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and registered with the Regulator of Social Housing), local authorities and/or Arm’s-Length Management Organisations (ALMO). A list of the current Registered Providers can be found by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing.
Once other authorities have access, they can independently call-off from the framework and manage their contracts’ performance. Such authorities may choose to direct award, using the justifications available from the framework agreement, or conduct a mini competition.

FRAMEWORK VALUE: The estimated value of the Framework Agreement is £500m. This estimation is based on NHG’s projected spend of £195m over the next 15 years, with an allowance for third-party Call-Offs entered into under the framework, estimated at £305m . NHG cannot give any guarantees that works totalling this value will in fact be called off from this framework and the award of any Call-Off contracts under the framework is at NHG's (or any other user's) discretion. Equally, the total value may increase, either if NHG’s own requirements increase unexpectedly or if the framework is used by other contracting authorities more extensively than anticipated.

NUMBER OF FRAMEWORK MEMBERS: NHG currently intends to appoint 10 Tenderers to the framework as an outcome of this procurement process. However, we reserve the right to appoint either more or less than 10 Tenderers at our sole discretion.

OTHER: NHG reserves the right to cancel the procurement at any time and not to proceed with all or part of the Framework Agreement. NHG will not, under any circumstance, reimburse any expense incurred by Applicants in preparing their tender submissions.
