This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically targeting health and safety consultancy (CPV code: 71317210). The contract commenced on 1st July 2016 and is set to last until 1st July 2017, with an estimated total value of £80,000, while the minimum annual expenditure is approximately £20,000. The procurement method followed an open procedure, with the award published on 15th March 2017. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in health and safety consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). As Cobalt Housing investigates the potential de-merger from Symphony Housing Group and the formation of a local Community Focused Housing Association, a range of health and safety services will be necessary to ensure compliance and gap mitigation. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive health and safety solutions, including risk assessment and management, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts in this evolving market. ## Notice Cobalt Housing is seeking to appoint a single provider to provide Health and Safety Consultancy Services. Cobalt is currently investigating the opportunity to form a stand - alone, local Community Focussed Housing Association. This work will conclude during the summer and the project has been named 'Fit for Independence'. The results will be evaluated when the work is concluded. In effect, this might lead Cobalt to de-merger from SHG into a stand-alone Housing Association. In light of these events the Cobalt Board of Management have asked for an external health & safety consultant to help with - * Review any gaps in our Health & Safety position as a GMO part of the Symphony Housing Group * Develop a plan of action with officers of Cobalt if any gaps identified * Deliver the interim role of Competent / Responsible person required - if gaps are found * Develop a plan of action required if Cobalt were successful in becoming "Fit for Independence", to fill the current responsibilities in the Symphony Health and Safety Policy * Identify a Health & Safety action plan for Cobalt Plus, identifying any risks if the service was to expand. In addition to office based staff, Cobalt has 26 operatives potentially increasing to 40 in late 2016. The operatives are in team referred to as Cobalt Plus providing a range of services including gardening, handyperson, painting, plastering, flagging, void works. We estimate a yearly spend of approximately PS20,000 net of VAT for the duration of the contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a126a7-9fdb-4f02-8e13-134176fdd611 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jun 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Jul 2016 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2016 - 1 Jul 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £43,423 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SYMPHONY HOUSING GROUP | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L11 2SF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | West Derby Muirhead | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Walton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RAWLINGS SAFETY AND TRAING CONSULTANCY SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71317200 - Health and safety services - 71317210 - Health and safety consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Mar 2017 at 15:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a126a7-9fdb-4f02-8e13-134176fdd611 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22a126a7-9fdb-4f02-8e13-134176fdd611 15th March 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cobalthousing.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
