Description
Bron Afon Community Housing intends to establish an open framework scheme for the provision of additional contractor capacity and specialist support to its Direct Labour Organisation (DLO). The framework will support Bron Afon's in-house DLO function and is not intended to replace or fully outsource that function.
The procurement is divided into nine Lots covering General Repairs; Gas, Heating & Plumbing Repairs including Out of Hours; Heating Installations; Roofing Repairs; Highway Works; Doors & Windows (Glazing); Drainage & Groundworks; External Garden Works; and Whole House Refurbishment.
The open framework scheme will operate for a maximum period of 8 years and will be reopened through the award of successive frameworks on substantially the same terms in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023. Appointment to the framework does not guarantee any minimum volume or value of work.

Lot constraints
Description of how multiple lots may be awarded:
Tenderers may submit tenders for any number of Lots but may be appointed to a maximum of two Lots. Tenderers bidding for more than two Lots must rank the Lots in order of preference. Where a Tenderer achieves an appointable position on more than two Lots, it will be appointed to its two highest-preference Lots on which it achieved an appointable position. It will then be removed from consideration for further Lots and the next highest-ranked eligible Tenderer will be considered, subject to the same two-Lot restriction.
