The Supply, Delivery, Erection, Maintenance and Repair of Fencing and Gating

The London Borough of Hillingdon owns a housing stock of approximately 10,000 properties located on a number of estates within the geographical area of the Borough. The Council also provides services to residents from a number of corporate buildings, libraries, theatres, day centres and children’s homes and manages parks and golf courses. Fencing and gating of various types and constructions are installed at many of these properties.

Some fencing and gating requirements are planned whilst others are reactive and involve the repair or replacement of damaged panels, posts and gates often at very short notice to ensure the safety and security of residents, employees and the general public. The types of fencing and gating installed and the extent of the works required vary in each case and depend upon the location and the particular requirement. The Council is also responsible for installing and maintaining the condition of boundary fences and gates on its corporate properties and open spaces.

The proposed contract is for the supply and installation of new fencing and gating or the repair / replacement of existing where the maximum value will not exceed £5,000 (excluding VAT) for each job. All other fencing and gating requirements with an anticipated value in excess of this sum will be subject to further competition.

Contract Period

The Contract will be for a period of three (3) years with options to extend for a further two (2) years subject to the requirements of the service and the performance of the contractor.
