Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Ltd has announced a tender for the "Employer's Agent Services Framework" aimed at supporting its ambitious build programme, which seeks to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024 and a total of 12,550 by 2030. This tender falls within the construction-related services industry, with a primary focus on service procurement. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a crucial deadline for submissions set for 1st March 2021. Projects are anticipated to span across regional lots, with a significant concentration of expenditure expected in London and the South East of England.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for construction service providers, particularly those with experience in managing large-scale housing projects. Businesses specialising in project management, architectural services, and construction supervision would be well-suited to compete, especially given the framework’s potential to accommodate up to 36 individual schemes over four years. The reduced professional indemnity insurance requirements further open the door for smaller firms to participate, fostering a more competitive bidding environment.

Notice Title

Employer's Agent Services Framework

Notice Description

The Guinness Partnership Limited and its subsidiaries have commenced a build programme aiming to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024 and 12,550 homes by 2030. We are committed to building safe, high quality, well designed homes where people want to live. Using our financial strength, experience and scale, we are building new homes and communities across the country at a range of price points and tenures - from private sale to social rent. Progress is being made but to support the delivery of the programme Guinness and its subsidiaries wish to establish a Framework for Employer's Agent services. This will support the delivery of a significant programme of new build schemes over the term of the framework. Guinness estimates this programme could mean up to 36 individual schemes commencing over the next four year period. The future programme is expected to focus on larger 25 to 500 unit schemes though it may include some smaller schemes as required. Guinness gives no guarantee on the volume of work allocated through the framework. The framework will also be available for use by other areas of Guinness as required for example Asset Management. Clerk of Works services may also be required during the duration of the framework. The framework is split into three regional lots and it is anticipated that up to three suppliers will be appointed to each lot. Approximately 50% of spend for new schemes is most likely to be in the South, London and South East, with 30% in the North and 20% in the South West Regions.
