The procurement is in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 10th September 2021. The properties are located throughout Kent and parts of East Sussex, and the procurement process is being conducted under a Competitive Dialogue method, where interested parties must first complete a Selection Questionnaire to move forward. This procurement opportunity represents a significant growth potential for construction and maintenance firms, particularly those specialising in housing services, mechanical installations, plumbing, and electrical works. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate given the inclusive procurement approach. Successful bidders will have the potential to engage in ongoing maintenance and improvement projects, making this tender a valuable opportunity for relevant businesses in the sector. ## Notice Town and Country Housing ("TCH") is seeking to procure a Maintenance Agreement and Joint Venture Partner to deliver repairs, maintenance and planned improvement works to its housing stock portfolio. TCH will adopt a contractual structure whereby TCH and the successful tenderer will enter into a contractual joint venture arrangement and may establish a new JV vehicle (the JV) and deliver the Programme. the proposed model is explained in more detail in the "Contract Structure" section of the Descriptive Document. The value of the core services (i.e. those services included in scope from contract commencement) is circa PS5.2 million per annum and the total potential value of the contract with all options included is circa PS700m over the whole term (including all possible extensions to 2050). TCH owns circa 10,000 properties dispersed throughout the whole of Kent and parts of East Sussex. The properties are a mixture of tenures consisting of general needs, market rented, leasehold and shared ownership. The Maintenance Agreement will be awarded for an initial period of 12.5 years, with the option to extend until 31st March 2050 at TCH's sole discretion. TCH does not intend to extend the contract by a single extension period of 15 years, but would explore extensions of shorter durations (for example, three periods of extension of five years each) . Although initially centred on the delivery of repairs and voids the contract has the provision to add in multiple additional workstreams including (but not limited to) cyclical maintenance services and planned and major works as set out in the procurement documents. The procurement is being undertaken using a "Competitive Dialogue" procedure (in accordance with Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015). Under the first stage of the process, bidders are required to complete a Selection Questionnaire ("SQ Stage") and associated appendices. Following evaluation of submitted SQs, TCH anticipates inviting six bidders to participate in the second stage of process and submit "Detailed Solutions" ("ISDS" Stage), following which it will shortlist three bidders to participate in Competitive Dialogue ("CD Stage") and submit Final Tenders ("ISFT" Stage). Full details of the requirements, the evaluation criteria and how to participate are included in the procurement documents, and a summary is provided in the Descriptive Document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b20b9f3-760c-48cd-b494-0e16cb206f3d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive dialog | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2022 - 31 Mar 2050 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ECHELON CONSULTANCY LTD | | Locality | TUNBRIDGE WELLS | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN1 1LQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ46 West Kent | | Local authority | Tunbridge Wells | | Electoral ward | Park | | Westminster constituency | Tunbridge Wells | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 31518200 - Emergency lighting equipment - 31527260 - Lighting systems - 31625000 - Burglar and fire alarms - 33196200 - Devices for the disabled - 34928510 - Street-lighting columns - 44115500 - Sprinkler systems - 44480000 - Miscellaneous fire-protection equipment - 45000000 - Construction work - 45232452 - Drainage works - 45261210 - Roof-covering work - 45261211 - Roof-tiling work - 45261910 - Roof repair - 45261920 - Roof maintenance work - 45262660 - Asbestos-removal work - 45300000 - Building installation work - 45310000 - Electrical installation work - 45330000 - Plumbing and sanitary works - 45331100 - Central-heating installation work - 45343100 - Fireproofing work - 45343230 - Sprinkler systems installation work - 45350000 - Mechanical installations - 45400000 - Building completion work - 45410000 - Plastering work - 45420000 - Joinery and carpentry installation work - 45421112 - Installation of window frames - 45421130 - Installation of doors and windows - 45421132 - Installation of windows - 45421151 - Installation of fitted kitchens - 45430000 - Floor and wall covering work - 45440000 - Painting and glazing work - 45450000 - Other building completion work - 45451000 - Decoration work - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 50232100 - Street-lighting maintenance services - 50413200 - Repair and maintenance services of firefighting equipment - 50700000 - Repair and maintenance services of building installations - 50710000 - Repair and maintenance services of electrical and mechanical building installations - 50720000 - Repair and maintenance services of central heating - 50870000 - Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment - 71317200 - Health and safety services - 79512000 - Call centre - 90650000 - Asbestos removal services - 90922000 - Pest-control services - 92222000 - Closed circuit television services ## Release History - 11 Aug 2021 at 13:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b20b9f3-760c-48cd-b494-0e16cb206f3d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b20b9f3-760c-48cd-b494-0e16cb206f3d 11th August 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=39005&B=ECHELON Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/45191 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
