Description

Housing Solutions are carrying out an ongoing programme of fire risk assessments via a dedicated surveying partner. To date, contractors have been engaged on an ad-hoc basis to deliver rectification works required by these surveys on a job-by-job basis. Owing to the volume of works identified to date, and the expectation that the ongoing surveying programme will continue to identify works for completion in the future, Housing Solutions is seeking to appoint up to three suitably skilled and experienced fire safety contractors to deliver fire safety works and associated services as identified by the fire risk assessment programme. These contractors will act as an extension to the Housing Solutions team, delivering through the contract and working with Housing Solutions on a partnership basis. Housing Solutions intend to appoint individual works to any appointed contractors on a round robin basis, to ensure equal and fair treatment for each contractor. Housing Solutions anticipates that FRA rectification jobs will be grouped into batches of 5 for the contractors. The aim of this approach is to not only ensure each contractor receives an equal share of the work, but to also ensure that all works are delivered on time and in full, and that Housing Solutions’ contractors are not overloaded with work. Housing Solutions will be contracting via the JCT MTC (2016) form for the overall contract, but Housing Solutions also intends to establish a works agreement with each appointed contractor. The contract will be for an initial term of five years (60 months), with options to extend by two separate one year (12 months) periods subject to performance and agreement, for a maximum contract term of seven years (84 months). It is estimated that the total contract sum for all works will be GBP8,022,000 (GBP1,146,000 ex VAT annually).
