### Lot Information

Project Management, Monitoring Surveyor, Employers Agent and Quantity Surveying

This Lot of the Framework Agreement is for Project Management, Monitoring Surveyor, Employers Agent and Quantity Surveying. Under the Framework Agreement the following entities will have the option to call-off contracts with individual framework suppliers as and when services are required: (i)ForHousing Limited and any entity within the ForHousing group from time to time, which currently includes ForViva Devco Limited, ForCapital Limited, and ForLiving Limited; (ii) Any entity or joint venture company that ForHousing or any other member of its group holds an interest in from time to time; (iii)Other Social Housing Providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may be in existence in the future). "Social Housing Provider" for this purpose means any provider of social housing and includes, without limitation, registered housing providers, local authorities and ALMOs. A list of the current Social Housing Providers can be found by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing . Such Social Housing Providers will only be entitled to call off under the Framework Agreement if ForHousing consents. The proposed Framework Agreement will be in place for a maximum period of 4 years, however individual contracts called-off under the Framework Agreement may be for a period of greater than 4 years so may continue beyond the 4 year term of the Framework Agreement.

The combined value of the development contracts that will require the services that may be called off under this Lot of the Framework Agreement during its 4 year term is estimated to be approximately PS70 million, therefore the actual spend with the consultants under this Lot will be a % of this.
