Efficiency East Midlands Ltd (EEM) is a procurement consortium which establishes and manages a range of framework agreements. Our members include organisations providing services to the whole public sector including social housing providers, local authorities, blue light services and education and health related organisations.

EEM has conducted this tender exercise to procure a roofing works framework to replace our existing frameworks — EEM0028 re-roofing and EEM0017 roofing repairs. The framework will provide EEM members with a provision for planned and responsive roofing services across both domestic housing stock and commercial properties.

The framework will be split into the following workstream lots:

Lot 1: Planned Roofing Works,

Lot 2: Roofing Replacement and Repairs.

This lot has been created to support members with specific planned roof replacement programmes. The works may include additional services such as insulation, roofline works and small repairs, but all works will be completed as a planned package rather than ad-hoc or responsive.

This lot will be further split into geographical sub-lots as detailed below:

Sublot 1: East Midlands

Sublot 2: West Midlands

Sublot 3: National Coverage.

Contractors can apply for any mixture of the defined lots.

The main elements of worked covered by this lot will be:

— full or partial roof replacements — slating and tiling (planned programmes only);

— full or partial flat roof replacements — bituminous felts, single ply, liquid and GRP systems (planned programmes only);

— full or partial roof sheeting replacements — standing seam, composite panels, over roofing, (planned programmes only);

— roofline works including fascias, soffits, barge boards, eaves and guttering;

— leadwork, chimneys, flashings — repair and replacement;

— top up and replacement of loft/roof insulation;

— access and scaffolding;

— survey and design services.

The EEM membership combined property stock is in excess of 2 500 000 properties typically consisting of a mixture of domestic housing stock, bungalows, blocks of flats and sheltered housing schemes as well as garages, communal buildings, corporate buildings, hospitals, student accommodation, universities and depots.

Works will be undertaken across all property types. The contractor will generally be required to carry out all of the work while the property is occupied but on occasions, because of the nature of the work required, the contractor may be required to carry out part or all of the work to vacant dwellings.

This lot has been created to support members looking for a contractor(s) to provide a full range of roofing services on both a planned and responsive basis. This lot will include work for both responsive repair and maintenance work and roof replacements. Full or partial replacements may be completed through a planned programme, a roof found to be beyond economic repair or a one-off emergency replacement to a fire damaged property.
