10094 - Structural and civil engineering consultancy services

On behalf of Norwich City Council, NPS Norwich Ltd. manages the maintenance and repair of the social housing property portfolio that comprises approximately 18,500 (including approx. 3,000 leasehold properties) conventional low and high rise properties with reinforced concrete stairways, walkways and landings, system built properties, concrete framed high rise flats, timber framed dwellings and other properties of miscellaneous types of construction. The council is conducting an open tender for a single supplier to provide structural and civil engineering consultancy services for Planned Work and Responsive Work streams.

In order to maintain the property stock in good condition it is necessary to develop an ongoing programme of property assessments, repairs and maintenance as appropriate. This forms the Planned works stream, and it will be the responsibility of the successful supplier to work closely with NPS Norwich Ltd. to identify and deliver this.

In order to maintain the property stock in good condition it is also necessary at times to be prepared to respond quickly and effectively to urgent situations where properties have been subject to flooding, structural failure, subsidence, fire, damage as a result of severe weather and the effects of poor ground conditions (e.g., solution features, chalk workings) etc. This forms the Responsive works stream, and it will be the responsibility of the successful supplier to work closely with NPS Norwich Ltd. to identify and deliver this.

The proposed contract value is estimated at £200,000 per annum but suppliers should note this is not guaranteed as the council cannot foresee the number of responsive referrals that will be received.
