## Summary

The BPHA Limited is initiating a tender for the "Project Vista Phase 1 - Framework Agreement," aimed at enhancing the thermal efficiency, aesthetics, and security of several flat blocks in Bedford, built between 1954 and 1968. This construction-focused procurement falls under the CPV category of "Construction work," with a total value of £28.5 million. The tender period is set to conclude on 2 March 2020, while the contract period will commence on 31 July 2020 and extend to 31 July 2024. This process is being conducted using a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure due to the project's substantial value, and it specifically seeks to appoint a supplier for regeneration works at three designated sites across the South East of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms with expertise in refurbishment and new build projects, particularly those capable of delivering innovative solutions for improving residential environments. Companies specialising in thermal efficiency upgrades, aesthetic enhancements, and secure building practices would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the framework agreement will last for four years, there may also be ongoing chances to engage in various contracts related to the project's phases, thus allowing businesses to establish a longer-term partnership with the BPHA Limited and expand their portfolio in public sector construction.

## Notice

bpha own a number of flat blocks in Bedford, built between 1954 to 1968. They do not currently enhance their environment and perform poorly in terms of heat retention. 'Project Vista' was conceived to develop, plan and implement a bespoke investment strategy for these high-density, 'aged' assets. The programme will explore refurbishment of the blocks and provision of new accommodation, supporting the overall vision to maintain properties and communities "where people can live happily in a home they can afford." The key programme objectives are to improve thermal efficiency, aesthetics and security at each site, extending asset life by 30+ years and, in doing so, maintain housing provision that it is 'safe' and of an appropriate standard. Phase 1 of the Project Vista programme comprises regeneration work, including block refurbishment and some new build work, at the following three sites. Indicative construction budgets, exclusive of VAT, are as follows: - Bury Court, Church Lane (PS6-PS7 million) - Ashburnham Court, Ashburnham Road (PS4-PS4.5 million) - Brickhill, Severn Way (PS15-PS17 million) The intent of this procurement is to establish and appoint a supplier to a framework agreement to deliver all the phase 1 works currently planned, subject to appropriate levels of performance and prevailing positive relationships between the contracting authority and supplier throughout the term of the framework. Subject to the terms and conditions of contract documents included in the procurement documents, separate contracts will be awarded under the framework agreement for the design and build of the regeneration works at each of the above sites. Bidders should refer to the procurement documents for further details of the works and services to be delivered. The framework agreement will be in place for a period of 4 years, though projects and contracts awarded under the framework may continue beyond the expiry of the framework.
