Roofing Replacement Works

Notice Description

Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council (BMSDC) are looking to jointly procure Contractors for the delivery of their Roofing Works Contracts. This opportunity will include two geographic Lots, one for each District. The estimated combined annual contracts value is circa GBP2,000,000.00 to GBP4,000,000.00. This figure does not take into account annual indexation considerations or VAT. It is intended that the contracts will run for a period of three years with the option for renewal, as decided by BMSDC, for an extension of up to a further two years, subject to satisfactory reviews. The maximum duration of the contract is therefore five years. The contract value in this notice is therefore subject to review and is not guaranteed, as this is based upon the maximum term.
