Contractors Framework

Family Mosaic has an ongoing programme of new housing developments throughout London and Essex, and has grant funded programmes with both the GLA and HCA to develop Affordable Housing as part of their 2015/18 Affordable Housing Programmes, the scope of this framework will cover geographically the areas of Greater London and Essex.

Family Mosaic as a group is looking to develop approximately 1,000 new homes per year, across all tenures to reflect Government changing priorities, whilst maintaining a programme of affordable rent by generating cross subsidy through developing shared ownership, private sale and market rent new homes. The proportion of each tenure will dependent on each site and location.

In addition to the above Family Mosaic as Lead Registered Provider will on occasions provide development services to other RPs as part of its funding agreements with the GLA and HCA, together with other separate legal entities formed for specific projects or programmes (these companies are either whole owned or partially owned by a member of the Family Mosaic Group).

Family Mosaic's new works construction programme over the four years duration of this framework is estimated to be in the region of 740 million GBP, with 30% of this delivered by S106s, leaving a balance of 518 million GBP pounds of directly instructed construction works. In addition to the Family Mosaic's programme this framework is being procured on behalf of other Registered Providers and Local Authorities who may wish to develop within London (the GLA area) and Essex, and who wish to sign up to Family Mosaic Framework. This will enable framework suppliers to access an additional volume of work and reduce their pre-qualification costs. At present there is no other RPs or LAs signed up, but to allow scope for this possibility the value of this framework construction costs are estimated not to exceed 600 million GBP.

Family Mosaic Housing wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for Contractor Services with contractors who can deliver on this varied programme together with supplying these services to other Registered Providers and Local Authorities who register to use this Framework for the purposes detailed above in the geographical area of Greater London and Essex.

The scope of this framework is principally to cover new mixed tenure residential developments above the EU procurement threshold, with a majority of the contracts in the range of 5 million GBP to 15 million GBP. For contracts below threshold Family Mosaic may opt to procure from SMEs and for exceptionally large contracts, regeneration projects choose to separately advertise these opportunities as part of an OJEU process. To ensure that Contractors who are appointed to the framework have sufficient financial capacity to carry out contracts on this framework a minimum annual turnover requirement has been set of 18 million GBP (see PQQ).
