Technical requirements: A maximum term 10-year TPC 2005 (as amended) (5 years with the option to extend by up to a further 5 years) contract to deliver responsive repairs, void works, planned works and gas servicing and breakdown, plus other associated building-related works to Muir's East Region housing portfolio.
A maximum term 10-year TPC 2005 (as amended) contract (5 years with the option to extend by up to a further 5 years) to deliver responsive repairs, void works, planned works and gas servicing and breakdown works, plus associated other building-related works to Muir's East Region housing portfolio as defined in the property list in the procurement documents.
Responsive repair works will be delivered under a Price Per Property model, voids under a Price Per Void model and planned and other building works under a blend of archetype, SOR and quotation-based pricing. Gas servicing and breakdown works will be delivered via a 3* model.
The new Contract will be procured using a 3-stage Competitive Dialogue procedure. Under the first stage Providers who feel they are suitably skilled and experienced to deliver the Works are required to complete and return a Selection Questionnaire by the stated deadline. These will be evaluated as set out in the procurement documents, and Muir anticipates short listing 6 Providers to be invited to participate in the next stage (Invitation to Submit Detailed Solutions). However, Muir reserves the right to increase that number by 1 or 2 if scores are very closely placed around the cut-off point.
Following the submission and evaluation of Detailed Solutions, Muir anticipates short listing three Providers to be invited to participate in Competitive Dialogue. Following close of the CD period, the participants will be Invited to Submit Final Tenders.
Muir has selected to use Competitive Dialogue to procure the new Contract because the requirements are complex in nature and will be delivered using service delivery models and a new ICT solution, which will require changes in working for the Client. The Client is keen to engage with Providers through the process in order to refine the final solution.
Muir is procuring the Works under a single Lot in order to achieve a consistent service and the efficiencies that can be realised using an integrated solution.
The Contract will run for an initial period of 5 years, with the option to extend by up to a further 5 years subject to satisfactory contract performance.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to cancel the procurement and not to proceed with the Contract at any stage of the procurement process. The Contracting Authority also reserves the right not to award a Contract. The Contracting Authority nor any person on whose behalf of whom this procurement is undertaken is to be liable for any costs incurred by those expressing an interest or tendering for this Contract.
Muir will observe a stand still period following the award of the contract and conduct itself in respect of any appeals in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Eligibility requirements: As set out in the procurement documents.

Award value: 17000000
