The works form part of Ongo's wider Decent Homes investment programme and will include:

The programme will be delivered to properties occupied by tenants as well as void properties, requiring a high level of resident engagement, careful planning, and minimisation of disruption.

The Authority expects the contract to operate under a call off or measured term arrangement, with no guarantee of work volumes. Delivery will be flexible and responsive to changing demand, including peaks in voids and planned maintenance.

Contract Dates (estimated):

The Authority considers that a closed multi supplier framework exceeding four years is justified in accordance with Section 47(2) of the Procurement Act 2023.

The Framework Agreement will have an initial term of three (3) years with the option to extend for a further sixty (60) months. Any extension beyond the initial term will be subject to satisfactory supplier performance, annual performance reviews and the Authority's ongoing requirements and funding availability.

The framework is required to support the Authority's long-term planned investment programme for kitchen and bathroom replacement works across its housing stock. The programme comprises approximately circa 7,000 kitchen replacements and circa 1000 associated bathroom replacement works anticipated to be delivered over the next five to six years, representing a significant increase in annual delivery volumes.

The extended framework term is necessary to align with the Authority's;

Re-procurement during programme delivery would create additional cost, operational disruption and delivery risk, adversely affecting continuity of service and value for money.

The closed framework will appoint up to three suppliers through a competitive procurement process. Works will be allocated in accordance with a work allocation methodology, informed by market engagement and set out in the procurement documents and Framework Agreement. The Authority considers that the proposed term is proportionate and necessary having regard to the nature, scale and duration of the works and the requirement to deliver the programme efficiently and effectively. No new suppliers will be admitted to the framework following award.

The Authority's reasons for establishing a framework term exceeding four years are published in accordance with Section 47(3) of the Procurement Act 2023.

The multi-supplier framework model is intended to support a diverse and resilient supply chain and provide proportionate opportunities for capable regional and SME contractors to participate in the delivery of the programme.
