Technical requirements: ForViva Group Limited (the “authority”) wish to procure a Framework Agreement pursuant to which it is envisaged that contracts will be let to consultants within the framework for the provision of a range of new build consultancy services, divided into 4 Lots.
The following entities have the option to call-off contracts with individual framework consultants when required:
(i) Forviva and any entity within the Forviva group, which includes City West Housing Trust, Villages Housing Association and ForWorks,
(ii) Other Social Housing Providers in the UK, that are in existence now and those that may be in existence in the future. Please see the ITT docs.
This Lot of the Framework Agreement is for the provision of a range of project management, monitoring surveyor, employers agent and quantity surveying services in connection with new build and refurbishment projects.
Under this Lot of the Framework Agreement the following entities will have the option to call-off contracts with individual framework consultants as and when services are required:
(i) Forviva and any entity within the Forviva group from time to time, which currently includes CWHT, VHA and ForWorks;
(ii) Other Social Housing Providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may be in existence in the future). “Social Housing Provider” for this purpose means any provider of social housing and includes, without limitation, registered housing providers, local authorities and ALMOs. A list of the current Social Housing Providers can be found by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing. Such Social Housing Providers will only be entitled to call off under the Framework Agreement if ForViva consents.
The proposed Framework Agreement will be in place for a maximum period of 4 years, however individual contracts called-off under the Framework Agreement may be for a period of greater than 4 years so may continue beyond the 4 year term of the Framework Agreement.
Bidders should note that, under the Framework Agreement, no entity will be under any obligation to call-off contracts with framework consultants.
The current estimated value of the development works that consultant services will be called off for under this Lot of the Framework Agreement is approximately 80 000 000 GBP, therefore the actual spend with the consultants will be a % of this. Bidders should note that the estimated value of the Framework Agreement is based on ForViva’s current anticipated requirements. This value may increase if other Social Housing Providers decide to join and call off under the Framework Agreement.
