NHH Demolition & enabling works Contractor Framework Agreement

NHH wishes to establish a Framework Agreement of between 3 to 5 Contractors for the provision of delivering demolition and enabling works' services. The scope of this Framework includes, but not limited too: site preparation work, building demolition, wrecking work and earthmoving work.

NHH envisages works may also include: •demolition works for large and medium sized developments; •enabling works including all ground works; •removal or relocation of underground obstructions including sub-structure to a depth of 2 metres; •site clearance and disconnection of utility service or removal of redundant plant and services; •removal and the protection of trees including the provision of temporary services for the construction works •asbestos removal, and soft strip and building clearance works. NHH’s will run this tender using the Open Procedure, meaning the tender will be run over 1 stage with a combined qualification questionnaire and Invitation to Tender (ITT); and is intending to appoint between 3 to 5 contractors.

NHH is looking to finalise the award of this Framework Agreement no later than early January 2016 and for expediency, NHH will place the first call-off, in relation to Site 1 of our forthcoming regeneration programme at the Aylesbury Estate in Southwark, with the bidder who received the highest combined (quality and pricing) score during this tendering exercise. Notwithstanding any statement on this notice to the contrary, this framework will be available for use by NHH (and its associated entities) and any other contracting authority that is a provider of affordable housing that is developing a site within the Greater London area for the inclusion of affordable housing.

This includes providers of social housing including without limitation any Registered Provider (as defined in the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and registered with the Homes and Communities Agency), local authorities and/or Arm’s-Length Management Organisations (ALMO) will be entitled to call off under the Framework Agreement with the written consent of NHHT. The Framework will be let over 4 years (2 + (up to) 2 year) and is estimated to be worth between £150m and £250m.

The value has been estimated on the anticipation of works to be commissioned by NHH within the next 4 years, and allowing for other providers of affordable housing (HA) to call-off from this Framework. However there is no obligation whatsoever on NHH or other affordable housing providers (the Client) to invite or select Framework Providers to deliver any Services and/or to purchase any Services under this Agreement; and no form of exclusivity has been conferred on nor any guarantees provided to potential Framework Providers in respect to turnover or volume of work.
