The Installation Works Framework will provide a procurement solution for the installation of materials on planned maintenance programmes for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Windows and Doors. The Framework is split in to 4 main Lots to cover these work streams. To allow for SME bidding opportunities, Lots 1 to 3 are broken down in to 2 sub-lots / value bands. The Lotting Structure is identified as follows:

LOT 1 — Kitchen Installations (1a — Contracts Up to GBP 450 000, and 1b — Contracts Over 450 000).

LOT 2 — Bathroom Installations (2a — Contracts Up to GBP 300 000, and 2b — Contracts Over 300 000).

LOT 3 — Windows and Doors Installations (3a — Contracts Up To GBP 200 000, and 3b — Contracts Over 200 000).

LOT 4 — Communal Door Installations (no value bands).

The main coverage of work required under this Framework will be for installation as supply of materials is covered under a separate Fusion21 procurement exercise for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Windows and Doors. There will be scope however, dependent on individual client requirements, for a supply and install option to be included under this Framework which will be undertaken in the form of a mini competition between Framework partners.
