Building Safety Improvement Works - Contractor Framework - External Wall System Remediation

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The Guinness Partnership Ltd. (Guinness) is conducting a procurement process to appoint a framework of contractors to deliver building safety improvements to our properties, specifically those relating to external wall systems (EWS) - inc. cladding, facades, balconies, etc. and related elements (such as 'opening-up' / exploratory works) of our properties.

Guinness has a large portfolio of properties, c.65,000 properties nationally, including 40 HRRB's and over 380 Medium rise and complex buildings.

We have an ongoing programme of improvement and remediation works which will run over the course of the framework.

We also intend to make the framework accessible to other HA's and RP's who may have similar requirements.

The framework will run for 4 years, and contracts may be awarded for work at any time during this period (call-off contracts awarded under the framework may run past the end of its term).

The framework will be separated into 2 lots, one North and one South (which includes both the South-East & South-West), and we intend to appoint three contractors to each lot.

It is possible for contractors to win a place on both lots.

Guinness' properties are located across, but exclusively in, England.

There are no requirements in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

All contractors seeking to join the framework will be required to operate as principal contractor.

A fully defined programme of requirements for individual schemes is not available for publication at this stage.

Contractors will be required to provide a generalised schedule of rates which will form the basis of award and pricing for direct award contracts, and ceiling prices for mini-competitions.

Please note:- Full, free and unfettered access is available to the procurement documents via Guinness' procurement portal, which can be accessed at https://procontract.due-north.com/ (you will need to register for the website free of charge and search for the portal advert).
