This contract is rooted in the council's initiative to manage response repairs and maintenance for its housing stock and public buildings, as it transitions from a prior joint venture with Kier Stoke. The framework will be active for four years starting from 5th February 2018, and it includes multiple lots, with a maximum of five contractors to be appointed per lot. The application period for interested parties concludes on 29th September 2017. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in building trades, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can supply labour-only services. Suitable companies will need to demonstrate competence in various repair and maintenance tasks, as they will support the council during peak demand periods. With Unitas Stoke-on-Trent Limited and other local authorities potentially utilising this framework, contractors in areas such as electrical, plumbing, and general construction will find valuable prospects for ongoing work. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE Background Unitas Stoke-on-Trent Limited (Unitas) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, which was established in March 2017 to deliver repairs and maintenance services for the Council's housing stock and public buildings, following the end of the current joint venture partnership with Kier Stoke Limited (Kier Stoke). The joint venture with Kier Stoke ends at midnight on 3 February 2018 at which point Unitas will commence delivering the services. Introduction A number of contractor frameworks are now being procured to support Unitas in the delivery of its repairs and maintenance obligations. This Framework, known as the Labour-only Trades Framework, is being procured to support Unitas in the delivery of its response repairs. Whilst Unitas will have directly employed tradespeople, it is important to procure competent tradespeople to assist during periods of peak demand. Contractors on this framework will be utilised on a labour only basis and paid on an agreed day rate. About the Labour-only Trades Framework There are 12 lots and contractors can apply for one or multiple lots. Up to five contractors will be appointed to each lot and works will be awarded on a rotational basis. Valid for four years, it is anticipated that the framework will commence on 4 September 2017, as Unitas has responsibility for some repairs and maintenance works which fall outside of the Kier Stoke Joint Venture. Both Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Unitas Stoke Ltd. will be able to utilise this framework. Additional information: PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
