Repairs & Maintenance Support Contractors Framework Agreement

Sheffield City Council will commence delivery of its Housing Repairs and Maintenance service from 1.4.2017, taking over the running of the service from the previous outsourced provider. Council Housing represents almost a fifth of all Sheffield's housing, with over 80 000 tenants, their families and leaseholders living in around 39,000 homes. Effective management and delivery of the repairs and maintenance service to these properties is a priority for these households in the city.

The Council is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement to provide additional resource and expertise to support the in-house service in delivery of the requirements. Work will be ordered on a ‘measured term’ basis with no guarantee of volume or value given.

The Framework Lots are as follows:

1. General Building / All Trades
2. Electrical
3. Gas & Heating
4. Flat Roofing
5. Pitched Roofing
6. Drainage & Groundworks

In addition to the requirements of the Housing Repairs and Maintenance service, some specific Lots will include provision of services to support the delivery of repairs and maintenance services to the Council's corporate buildings and assets.

This contract will be procured using the Open Procedure. The Open Procedure means that all bidders who successfully express an interest will automatically be invited to tender and have access to the tender documents. Those who submit a tender and meet the minimum requirements will have their full tender, method statements and pricing evaluated.
