LHC will be carrying out market analysis/pre-tender engagement to establish the interest in a framework agreement for Minor Works (MW1). As such, LHC would appreciate if you could support this by answering a few questions via the following survey monkey; https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LHCWM1 to help us gain a better understanding of the type of work you can offer in relation to minor works.
We invite suppliers, in the first instance, to register your interest at our partnering tender site Procontract — https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d948dbb5-c71f-e911-80f2-005056b64545&p=8b355dc0-f604-e711-80dd-005056b64545
The framework will be tendered under three contract notices, in England, in Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Procurement Alliance, and in Wales on behalf of the Welsh Procurement Alliance. Each Contract Notice area may be subdivided into regional lots.
LHC frameworks have been used by more than 700 Contracting Authorities, for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any one time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective input and feedback, and given the reach and scale of their collective's portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their requirements, and may also use the framework.
As of the date of publication of this notice all Contracting Authorities may use our frameworks as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Public Contracts Regulations (Scotland) 2015 and as listed on www.lhc.gov.uk/24 — www.scottishprocurement.scot/24 and www.welshprocurement.cymru/24 and at present include Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), Tenant Management Organisations (TMOs) and Arm’s Length Management Organisations (ALMOs), Local Authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those Local Authorities, Health Authorities, Councils, Boards and Trusts, Publicly Funded Schools, Universities and Further Education Establishments, Colleges, Police Forces, Fire and Rescue Services or Registered Charities.
This LHC Framework is 1 of a range of specialist building frameworks designed by LHC for use by social landlords and other public sector bodies seeking efficient, quality, locally sustainable procurement solutions in accordance with Public Sector Procurement rules and regulations.
