Technical requirements: Apex Housing Association (‘Apex’) provides housing and support at affordable costs for those in need. Apex aims to meet the particular requirements of families and individuals through the provision of accommodation and associated services for general needs, young people, active and frail older people and for those with mental health difficulties, learning difficulties and those requiring emergency shelter.
Apex has appointed qualified contractors for the provision of general building, electrical and mechanical works to dwellings owned by all Housing Associations who are registered with the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland (formerly Department for Social Development) (https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/publications/registered-housing-associations-performance-indicators-2014-2015). The Framework is being established by Apex and will be available for use by those registered Housing Associations.
The Framework is being established to enable Apex and the above noted Housing Associations registered with the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland to place contracts for the provision of a comprehensive service embracing building, electrical works and mechanical works in Northern Ireland (the ‘Services’). Apex makes no guarantees regarding the value of contracts which will be placed under the Framework. Each Housing Association wishing to utilise the Framework shall enter into a contract with the successful contractor which will cover all of the Services to be delivered to that Housing Association.
The Framework has been subdivided into two (2) Lots: (1) Belfast including County Antrim, County Down and County Armagh; and (2) Londonderry including County Londonderry, County Tyrone and County Fermanagh.
For clarity, the initial estimated value of the Services to be provided under this Lot was 1 605 000 GBP per annum exclusive of VAT based on a framework duration of 4 years. The total value of the Services to be provided under this Lot is estimated at 1 605 000 GBP per annum exclusive of VAT based on a framework duration of 4 years.
The total value of the Services to be provided under Lot 1 is estimated at 1 605 000 GBP per annum (exc VAT) for a 4 year framework duration. The total value of the Services to be provided under Lot 2 is estimated at 10 650 000 GBP per annum (exc VAT) for a 4 year framework duration. The total value for both Lots is estimated at 12 255 000 per annum (exc VAT) for a 4 year framework duration.
