Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Housing Trust is seeking bids for the "Employers Agent Consultant Framework", a procurement process falling under the construction consultancy services category. This project aims to establish a framework of service providers experienced in the social housing sector to deliver Employers Agent Services for a development programme targeting 400 units per year over four years, specifically in North West England, including boroughs such as Knowsley, Sefton, and Warrington. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 12th July 2019. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2019 and will last until 1st September 2023, with a total contract value of £560,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that specialise in construction management, consultancy, and related services. With the anticipated requirement for competencies in roles such as Principal Designer and Purchasing Agent, companies equipped with experience in social housing projects may find a strategic advantage. Participating firms will be well-positioned to expand their portfolios by engaging with a framework that is subject to dynamic service requirements, potentially leading to ongoing projects across the broader North West region.
