Summary of the contracting process

The Broadland Development Services Limited (BDS), in collaboration with Broadland Housing Association (BHA), has announced the "Homes for the Future Framework", aimed at facilitating construction projects in Norfolk and North Suffolk, UK. With an overall framework value of £100 million, this endeavour will see the appointment of main contractors to execute projects focusing on sustainable development, net zero carbon operations, and biodiversity enhancement. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and it includes detailed pre-procurement market engagement to shape the final framework model. Key dates to note include the commencement of supplier qualification in October 2024, the invitation to tender release in December 2024, and the anticipated contract award in April 2025. Interested parties should submit their feedback and expressions of interest by 16 September 2024 via the provided questionnaire link.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the construction industry, particularly those experienced in sustainable development and community-focused projects. Smaller firms with strong local supply chains and expertise in low-carbon construction will find this framework particularly well-suited to their capabilities. The engagement process allows for an inclusive approach, encouraging contractors of all experience levels to participate, thus potentially providing smaller or emerging businesses with the chance to secure substantial projects that align with modern sustainability mandates. Companies with innovative solutions in areas such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental health are especially encouraged to engage and contribute to shaping a future framework that reflects current market capabilities and visions.

Lot Information

Construction value PS5m PS10m

BDS believe that to meet climate targets all new buildings must operate at net zero carbon by 2030. In light of this, Broadland Development Services strategy for schemes moving forward is to develop ways of achieving the end goal of Homes for the Future. It has been identified that to do this, developments need to focus on 'building light', 'building wise', 'building low carbon', 'building for the future' and 'building collaboratively'. Therefore, the following elements will be central to the design for each project to be procured under this Framework:- oHuman Factors - Focusing on health and wellbeing, user experience and social value oCircular Economy - Focusing on resource efficiency, environmental, health impacts and overall number of resources/materials, and waste oEnergy & Carbon - Focusing on operational energy and Whole Life Carbon oEcology & Biodiversity - Focusing on land use, biodiversity net gain and nature-based solutions oWater - focusing on water use and quality, including Nutrient Neutrality oConnectivity & Transport - Focusing on compactness of the development, walkability, and low carbon transport. BDS has as a result of the above, developed a Climate Specification which outlines design and construction requirements that schemes adhere to in order to achieve the end goal of Homes for the Future. This ethos will be central to projects procured under this Framework; which will expand on these values - it its intended that a Social Value Charter will be drawn up and subject to ongoing discussion and monitoring to support Framework Contractors in furthering their social, environmental and economic objectives. In practice, BDS dwellings typically are constructed using panelised timber frames to achieve high levels of air tightness; supplemented with Air Source Heat Pumps, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery and Photo Voltaic Panels - to achieve an EPC A rating and moving towards operational net zero carbon. It should be noted that this specification may be adapted during the course of the framework to keep pace with legislation changes (i.e. Future Homes Standard), wider organisational climate objectives and site specific constraints and opportunities. Through past and future projects, BDS aim to support the local supply chain and keep investment in Norfolk for the benefit of local communities. A key requirement of this framework will be for Contractors to have supply chain connections within this region, but also support the wider community through social value and corporate social responsibility initiatives. There is anticipated to be 10 projects to be procured under this framework. The majority of projects will be a construction value in the region PS5m to PS15m and be in Norfolk and North-Suffolk, UK. The procedure will follow the restricted procedure concluding with the selection of a limited number of Framework Contractors who will be engaged, via mini-competition, for various construction projects over an (up to) 5 year period. Key dates for the procurement are noted for information below, however it should be noted they may be subject to change; 1.SQ Commencement: October 2024 2.ITT Release (to shortlisted tenderers): December 2024 3.Anticipated Contract Award: April 2025 BDS are keen to hear from Contractors of all experience levels and those who share BDS values, so an appropriate ITT can be developed aligned to the skills and capabilities of the market. Please respond via the market engagement questionnaire (link below) by no later than Monday 16 September 2024. https://forms.office.com/r/abaBe0Z6RD
