TRG Cladding Remediation Framework - AWARD

The Riverside Group has a significant Cladding programme following government guidance and implementing fire safety assessments. We have circa 22 blocks/cores that need cladding. In practical terms this translates to multiple blocks of varying heights, which require some form of remediation.

It's envisaged that The Riverside Group will be utilising the new PAS9980 approach to all projects, and this outline scope will then be developed further and concluded within the PCSA stage.

The contractor will have full design responsibility for their design and the works will be instructed under a JCT design and build contract 2016 with amendments.

The predicted spend (but not guaranteed) is estimated at £300million over a four-year period. As the detailed scope of works is currently unknown for many of the sites, The Riverside Group will need to engage with the appointed Framework contractors to help develop the very complex type of work, enabling the correct solution to be delivered.

Each remediation project is different and can range from £4m up to and over £15m and vary greatly in the required works.

The Riverside Group wishes to establish a Framework Agreement with Works Contractors who can deliver the required works on this varied programme.

It is anticipated that a maximum of 5 Contractors will be appointed to the framework, though Riverside reserve the right to amend this subject to requirements. Under the Framework Agreement there will be the option to call-off contracts either by mini competition or direct award, as outlined in the Framework Agreement (Document G).

Applicants should note that, under the Framework Agreement, no organisation that is entitled to call off shall be under any obligation to do so.
