Kitchen surveys,

Agreeing Tenant choice capture,

Arrange kitchens manufacture and order via Jewson partnership Solutions (JPS),

geographical batching and backfill arrangements.

Vico Homes shall provide sufficient validated backfill properties where available to support continuity of delivery. Where properties are refused, unavailable or delayed, the Contractor shall re sequence its programme and use the agreed backfill process to minimise impact on the annual target, monthly delivery profile and weekly delivery targets.

For year 1 kitchen and asbestos surveys have been completed for the majority of properties and will be provided to the contractor, Year 2 onwards will follow the above model. i.e the Contractor will be responsible for the full process.

The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that orders are placed in sufficient time to meet program requirements. All materials ordered through Stores shall be delivered to and stored within the contractors' own facilities. The contractor shall be responsible for the receipt, inspection, security, storage and stock management of all materials upon delivery.

Kitchen packs, inclusive of base, sink, wall units and worktop materials shall be ordered through Stores, however all other items required to complete the works shall be supplied by the contractor at their own cost and be deemed to be included within the tendered rates.
