This contract seeks to engage contractors for the refurbishment of council-owned properties across various locations in the Stoke-on-Trent area, falling under the construction industry category. The tender is currently at the "Tender" stage, with a submission deadline on 20th February 2019. The framework has a total estimated value of £3.8 million and will be valid for two years, with the potential for extensions of up to two additional years. This tender provides a significant opportunity for contractors specialising in property refurbishment, particularly those that can manage works such as internal strip-outs, roofing, and landscape improvements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as holding a place on this framework could lead to securing numerous refurbishment projects, estimated at approximately 20 properties per year. While there are no guarantees of work, the framework's structure allows for contractors ranked in second and third positions to access additional contracts, making it an attractive opportunity for capable businesses looking to expand their portfolios in local government contracts. ## Notice 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. This tender provides the opportunity for contractors to secure a place on Unitas's Property Refurbishment Works Framework. The purpose of the framework is to provide Unitas with contractors to carry out full refurbishment of council owned properties at various locations in the Stoke on Trent area. The works will typically include; strip out and refurbishment internally, some roof works, replace windows and external doors and external hard and soft landscape. The Framework will consist of three contractors and will utilise direct call-off of the contractor which is ranked in first place. Contractors in second and third place will be offered the opportunity to carry out work if the first (or second) placed contractor declines the work, or if Unitas decides to employ additional resources from the framework (a full description of the call-off procedure is outlined in the attached draft Framework Agreement). Holding a position on this framework offers no guarantee of work, but we expect that approximately 20 properties per year will require refurbishment over its lifetime. The framework will be valid for two years with options to extend for two additional 12 month periods (2+1+1) Please note that works will be let on a property by property basis under a JCT Minor Works contract Schedule of Amendments (please see draft copy in the legal Agreement section). The winning Contractor will be required to sign and return the contract within two weeks of issue. No works can start on site until the contract is signed and received by Unitas.
