Technical requirements: The London Housing Consortium (LHC) (acting as the central purchasing body for the Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA)), are consulting on the potential establishment of a framework agreement for residential construction (including any associated community buildings and facilities) across North and Mid-Wales. Please note that market consultation documents will be available from 12.00 noon on the date of publication of this PIN in the OJEU via the online edition TED (and if the date of publication is not a working day, on the next working day) via Procontract: https://procontract.due-north.com/Login
The proposed lot structure consists of 9 lots across 8 North and Mid-Wales counties: Ynys Môn (Anglesey); Gwynedd; Conwy; Sir Ddinbych (Denbighshire); Sir y Fflint (Flintshire); Wrecsam (Wrexham); Ceredigion; North and South Powys. Plus an additional 'All counties lot — covering Lots 1-9 (the super-lot)' is being proposed plus additional specialist lots (see below).
The works (including associated services and/or supplies) to be delivered include the development of new build housing projects, including ‘Housing’ (housing, bungalows, flats, apartments, etc.) and ‘accommodation’ (sheltered accommodation, care homes, extra care (e.g. dementia) student accommodation, etc.).
WPA anticipates a wide range of projects being delivered under the framework, from single smaller sites to complex multi-site projects.
This is reflected in a value banded sub-lots structure within each county (and the 'all counties 1-9' (super-lot)), for delivery of developments of varying sizes: up to 5 units, 5-15 units, 16-49 units, 50 units and above.
It may be that a specialist lot within each county will be included to provide for the construction of Accommodation, in addition to the 4 value-banded lots which would then be specifically for the construction of Housing. A separate ‘super-lot’ for accommodation may also be appropriate on this basis.
The framework may also provide for the delivery of associated community buildings to residential developments (such as hubs and sporting facilities e.g. meeting places, health and care centres, recreational facilities and libraries). Plus, any associated commercial facilities such as car parks and retail units. Again, this may be included as a specialist additional lot within each county and an associated ‘super-lot’.
Scope includes options for associated land purchases (and financing land purchase and development). It is likely that Clients will commission energy efficient buildings (e.g. by using a fabric first approach). Scope is also being considered to include modern methods of construction, timber framed dwellings and the installation of district heating systems.
