Description

Harrogate Borough Council is seeking a suitable supplier to supply bathroom equipment as specified on the Price Schedule. The pricing schedule uses brand names and specific manufacturers' model names/part numbers to describe some of the components required for incorporation in works.
We have done this because our experience in this work has proved that the quality and characteristics of these products promote the appropriate level of quality and compliance with the recommendations of the Occupational Therapists, in the finished works and prove most practical in use for the construction team, follow-on maintenance teams and the end users.
The council will, however, consider alternative products suggested or brought forward by the contractor and will not refuse their use without reasonable grounds, subject to the following:
• The contractor is able to demonstrate to the council that an alternative product offered is capable of performing the same function and is of comparable quality (this would include provision of samples for inspection and discussion between the parties, prior to incorporation in the works);
• Once an alternative product has been approved for use, the contractor will always use either the same alternative product or the branded product listed here, throughout the term of the contract, (the contractor must also demonstrate that they have a secure supply of the item, which supply is likely to be dependable throughout the term of the contract);
• The council will only approve one alternative product per specified item, in the interests of consistency and ease of future maintenance;
• The council reserves the right to require the contractor to remove from the works, whether installed or not, any unapproved alternative product and replace it with the item described in this Specification, at no cost to the council;
• The council and the contractor will sign a document drawn up by the council, recording the details of any alternative product approved for use in this contract.
• The contract will run for a period of 2 years, starting from 1st September 2019.
