This tender is classified under the construction work industry category, particularly focusing on repair and maintenance services. The procurement process, which is in the Tender stage, is expected to conclude on 26 August 2020. The framework is set to commence on 2 January 2021, with an initial contract period of two years, potentially extendable for an additional two years. The total estimated value of the contract is £3,900,000, and it will be implemented in the West Midlands region. This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in various construction trades, including electrical, plumbing, joinery, and gas engineering services. As the framework allows contractors to bid for multiple lots, businesses with capabilities in these areas can enhance their market presence and secure steady contracts. This could be particularly advantageous for those companies looking to establish or expand their operations in the repair and maintenance sector, supported by the financial backing of Unitas, which will cover material costs, allowing contractors to focus on labour provision. ## Notice A labour only framework is being procured to support Unitas's employed operatives in the delivery of its responsive repairs during periods of peak demand. Contractors on this framework will be utilised on a labour only basis and paid on an agreed day rate. Contractors' day rates will include transport and any other overheads. Material costs will be covered by Unitas. There are five Lots which make up this framework and bidders can bid for any number of lots. Three contractors will be appointed to each lot except Labourer which will only have two. Lot 1: Electrician (3 contractors) Lot 2: Gas Engineer (3 contractors) Lot 3: Joiner (3 contractors) Lot 4: Labourer (2 contractors) Lot 5: Plumber (3 contractors) The framework is expected to be operational from 2 January 2021. The initial term of the framework is two years, with an option to extend for an additional two years.
