The Supply and Fit of Floor Coverings

Framework Scope NEUPC is aiming to establish a new framework agreement with flooring contractors for the supply and fit of a range of floor coverings to higher and further education institutions across the UK.

Expenditure analysis undertaken has estimated that likely expenditure through this is agreement will be within the range GBP 1 000 000 – 4 000 000.

NEUPC cannot guarantee that these contract values will be met or exceeded.

The following floor coverings are an example of those which are to be available in the delivery of the framework agreement: Vinyl Sheets and Tiles Linoleum Rubber Flooring Cork Tiles Sheet Carpet Sheet Carpet Tiles Laminate Flooring Timber Flooring A more comprehensive list of the types of floor coverings which will be covered under this agreement can be found in Section Ten to Section Twenty One of the guide in the link below.

The fitting and supply of any floor coverings listed under the agreement must adhere to the minimum standards listed in the Contract Flooring Association Guidelines: http://www.cfa.org.uk/userfiles/files/CFA%20Guide%20to%20Contract%20Flooring.pdf This Framework Agreement is intended to be for the Supply and Fit of Floor Coverings by flooring contractors.

Once this Framework Agreement has been launched it is the intention of NEUPC to go out to market for a separate Agreement for the Supply of Floor Coverings which will be available to tender by Floor Covering Manufacturers only.

NEUPC intends to make product pricing agreed with Floor Covering Manufacturers available to Flooring Contractors awarded to this framework.

The Framework Agreement will be split into 5 Lots by the following Regions: Lot 1: North East Lot 2: Yorkshire and Humber, Lot 3: East Midlands Lot 4: West Midlands Lot 5: London A number of these regions will be split into sub-regions as defined in the Tender documentation.

Tenderers may bid for one or a number of these regions/sub-regions but must service the entire consortia membership covered within each region.
