Description

The Council of the London Borough of Redbridge ("the Authority") is seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably experienced and qualified organisations for appointment to the Framework Agreement for the Redbridge Housing Capital Works Programme 2017-21 in the London Borough of Redbridge ("the Framework").

The Framework shall commence on 1st April 2017 and, subject to satisfactory performance, shall continue up to and including 31st March 2020 ("the Framework Period"). At the sole discretion of the Authority and subject to satisfactory performance, the Framework Period may be extended by up to one (1) year in such period or periods as the Authority deems appropriate, providing a possible total Framework Period until midnight on 31st March 2021.

The Framework is divided into three (3) Lots as follows:-

 Area Lot 1 - Redbridge West: (One (1) organisation to be appointed)
 Area Lot 2 - Redbridge East: (One (1) organisation to be appointed)
 Area Lot 3 - Redbridge West and East Reserve Provider: (One (1) organisation to be appointed)

The Authority's estimated expenditure per annum or period of contract required under each of the Lots is as follows:

Lot 1: Area Lot 1 - Redbridge West: £7,000,000; annum
Lot 2: Area Lot 2 - Redbridge East: £5,000,000; annum

Organisations shall be aware that the above anticipated expenditure is provided for information and guidance purposes only and should not be considered as the actual expenditure that will apply during the Framework Period.

Suitably qualified and experienced organisations must apply for all lots but will only be appointed to one. The highest scoring tenderer will be appointed to Lot 1 the second highest ranked tenderer will be appointed to Lot 2 and the third highest ranked tenderer will be appointed to Lot 3 as the reserve Provider.

Organisations wishing to Express an Interest for appointment to any Lot of the Framework shall do so by submitting a Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire ("PQQ"). The PQQ contains grounds for mandatory and discretionary exclusion of the organisation from consideration for the Framework, together with information about their economic and financial standing, technical and professional ability, insurance and other specified policies. The Authority shall assess this PQQ in relation to each Lot in accordance with the requirements detailed at the beginning of the PQQ. Those organisations that satisfy the requirements of the PQQ as specified, including but not limited to passing the financial assessment, satisfying the mandatory and (as appropriate) discretionary grounds for exclusion and achieving a score of no less than fifty percent (50%) for each question in the technical and professional ability section will be invited to tender.

A full breakdown of the Evaluation Criteria is contained in the Tender Documents (Volume C).
