This tender notice has been issued by Westworks Procurement Limited herein the Authority, in connection with a competitive procurement conducted in accordance with the Open Procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2011.

Initial expressions of interest are invited from potential providers wishing to provide planned, cyclical and ad hoc external works services to occupied & vacant domestic housing & commercial properties throughout the area covered by Westworks, its members and partners. Providers appointed to the framework may be required to act as main contractor within projects and to utilise supply chains already or yet to be established by Westworks. Similarly providers may be required to act as a supply partner to users partnerships. These occurrences will be clearly indicated to potential providers at the time of contract call off by users and will be incorporated as part of the mini competition process.

The framework will be of 4 workstream lots and multiple providers will be considered to achieve geographical and volume coverage:

1. General Building Works;

2. Groundwork;

3. Flat roofing;

4. Pitched Roofing.

It is not the intention to split the works by geographical lots but to award works based on having enough providers to deliver in all areas and to award works contracts by running mini-competitions, mini tenders, prior to awarding call-off contracts from the framework.

We are therefore inviting variant bids based on geographical capability so as to encourage small to medium and larger enterprises to participate. Companies should make clear the areas within which they can presently deliver the services required. Limited geographical coverage by a potential provider will not necessarily exclude them from the process as it is Westworks members aim to encourage local employment and businesses as well as engaging with other suitably qualified providers. It is the intention of Westworks to engage with enough suitably qualified providers to achieve these aims.

The total estimated value is between 16 000 000 GBP to 45 000 000 GBP over the entire 4 year life of the framework.

The geographical area to be covered by this framework covers the South and South west of England. For an approximate distribution of the volume of works required please review the information in the suite of download documents.
