The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 7th August 2017. This framework, which falls under the main category of works, is expected to begin the contract period on 4th September 2017 and run until 3rd September 2021. The total estimated value of the contract is £1,000,000, with a minimum value of £500,000, covering a range of construction-related services in the plumbing and sanitation sector as part of its industry classification. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as they are encouraged to apply for one or multiple of the twelve lots available. Businesses specialising in various trades, including plumbing, electrical work, roofing, and general maintenance, will find it particularly advantageous. Furthermore, the rotational award method for contractors, with up to five contractors appointed per lot, provides a competitive environment that promotes business growth while supporting the local community’s maintenance needs. ## 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: 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. Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Unitas Stoke Ltd are seeking suitable individuals / organisations to appoint to: Labour-only Trades Framework A competitive tender exercise is being undertaken to seek suppliers for this requirement, so if you are interested in bidding please follow the instructions below to access our e-tendering portal.
