The Authority wishes to select a number of Suppliers to form a DPS to provide design and build, refurbishment and major works construction services to Westworks and Collaboration consortia users and users. The purpose of this DPS is to ensure we have a range of suppliers that can cater for the varied demands of the client group.
Increasing supply of housing of all tenures is a key government priority and consortium users are responding to this challenge.
Increasingly registered providers and other clients are building more than just social housing. They are also procuring contractors/developers to construct public spaces, commercial space, community facilities as well as a range of types of housing for a range of different tenures. Schemes range from infill and garage sites to major greenfield and regeneration schemes. Some opportunities derived from this DPS may include broader requirements such as joint ventures and community led schemes.
The aim is to deliver sustainably i.e. at the best value to the most people and we need a range of contractors and developers to help meet this challenge in a flexible and proactive way.
The Works are being set out in 4 categories as follows
1. Design and build of housing and non-housing developments with 1 to 10 units and projects with value up to £1.5m this lot will include developments of multiple phases each up to £1.5m
2. Design and build of housing and non-housing developments with 11 to 40 units and projects with value up to £4.5m this lot will include developments of multiple phases each from £1.5m to £4.5m
3. Design and build of housing and non-housing developments with over 40 units and projects with value over £4.5m
4. Construction and major refurbishment/remodelling of property schemes may include, but are not limited to, the following types of work:
• New build/extension and adaptation schemes within the care environment
• New build/extension and adaptation schemes for commercial/industrial projects
• Major and minor adaptations of existing buildings
• Office refurbishment
• Refurbishments
• Regeneration works

AN INTRDUCTION TO WESTWORKS AND THE "COLLABORATION" CONSORTIA
Westworks and "Collaboration" are Cabinet Office backed consortia made up of a continually expanding group of public sector bodies; from housing associations to local authorities, government departments and services to charities.

"Collaboration" is a group of consortia working together to bring further economic and social efficiencies and value to our combined users. "Collaboration" is currently made up of Westworks, Efficiency East Midlands, South East Consortium and Advantage Southwest and this DPS will be available for all members to use. This means that the DPS will cover all of England and Wales and into other UK areas when required.

Collaboration provides access to fully compliant works, services and supplies by managing the process to suit the needs and abilities of the users whether that be a fully managed mini-competition to giving access to our e-procurement system so that the user can run their own process with our oversight. Collaboration also has users that are not necessarily Contracting Authorities in their own right but that would benefit from the arrangements; such as charities and community enterprises.


In all, Collaboration members currently have over 2 million properties; from housing to commercial to corporate, under management and are constructing new property at an unprecedented rate.

Westworks will conduct the DPS for and on behalf of the members of all of the Collaboration consortia and may invite other consortia to join Collaboration at any time. Westworks is the Contracting Authority for the purposes of this DPS procurement. All Collaboration consortia are constantly growing their usership and to see current users please look at their respective websites whose addresses can be found within this notice. Potential users of the consortia may be found at gov.uk and local.direct.gov.uk also central and devolved government bodies, charities, educational establishments, police, fire and health services, social enterprises and similar organisations are entitled to access the DPS.

It should be noted that Collaboration consortia have in place supply chains for most construction materials and supplies. Suppliers are required to be able and willing to link with these arrangements where they exist if it is of benefit to the user. There are and will be further system build, modular and volumetric OSM arrangements in place with which suppliers will be expected to engage.
