OffSite Project Integrator

LHC is seeking innovative suppliers to support the development of an OffSite Housing Framework solution that covers every aspect of a call-off project from pre-project initiation and land assembly though brief preparation, design, manufacture, construction, installation, finishing, handover and review. As the integrated product/service/works solution envisaged does not presently exist in the open market, LHC is proposing an Innovation Partnership procurement process, where economic operators are invited to develop the solution in a number of negotiated phases and finally submit bids to be awarded the OffSite Project Integrator Framework. Eligible public sector bodies will be able to call-off this framework over its lifetime which is envisaged to be a minimum of six years with the possibility of three two year extensions, with a maximum of twelve years duration.

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is intended to commence a 30 day period of Market Engagement and market feedback is welcomed, by completing the Market Survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/FLPM5S6 and/or attending Pre-tender Engagement sessions - dates to be confirmed.

We invite suppliers, in the first instance, to register your interest at our partnering tender site Procontract - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=8b355dc0-f604-e711-80dd-005056b64545&v=2

Following consideration of the results of Pre-tender Engagement, a Contract Notice (CN) will be published in OJEU inviting expressions of interest, identifying the need and indicating the minimum requirements and requiring the submission of information for a qualitative selection to be made. Procurement documents, identifying the need, indicating the minimum requirements of the procurement, setting the award criteria and defining the arrangements applicable to intellectual property rights, will be made available to potential candidates in sufficient detail to enable them to identify the nature and scope of the required solution and decide whether to request to participate in the procedure. Potential candidates will be given 30 days to submit the required qualitative selection information and request participation. Candidates will be selected on their capability and capacity in the field of research and development and of developing and implementing innovative solutions.

Selected candidates will be invited to participate in the procedure in successive R&D stages following an R&D development plan with the aim of developing an integrated offsite housing product / service / works solution which will eventually be tendered in the final stage. The number of stages will be advised, but is likely to comprise two preliminary stages as follows:

Stage 1: Putting proposals and initial bids (30 days) Evaluation of Stage 1 (14 days).

Stage 2: Revised proposals and bids (14 days) Evaluation of Stage 2 (14 days).

Stage 3: Final proposals and bids (14 days) Evaluation of Stage 3 (14 days).
