Description

SCH and SMBC intends to create a Flexible Contracting Arrangement (FCA) with the aim of reducing spot purchasing for temporary accommodation. Providers in the market will be able to apply to join the FCA and will be awarded a contract, with either SCH or SMBC separately, under the FCA only if their application meets the minimum requirements and assurance checks are satisfactory. New applicants can apply to join the FCA at any point during the period of validity. The CSW-Jets (SMBC's e-tendering portal) will be used to submit applications to join the FCA and be considered for provision of temporary accommodation. This FCA would be used to procure temporary accommodation for all families and single people.

Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
