Technical requirements: LHC is a joint committee of local authorities acting as the Central Purchasing Body for WPA to set up a DPS for residential construction (and any associated community buildings) across South and Mid-Wales.
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.).
There are 17 areas across 16 South and Mid Wales counties. Works are divided into Lots for traditional or modern methods of construction (MMC), each lot also being split into four value-bands. WPA may combine lots (either within an Area or by Value-Bands across Areas), where genuine competition will not otherwise be created e.g. due to an insufficient number of Bidders. Please see section VI.3) for further details.
The works to be delivered are new build housing projects, including housing, bungalows, flats, apartments and accommodation such as care homes and student accommodation, etc. WPA anticipates a wide range of projects being delivered under the DPS, from single smaller sites to complex multi-site projects. This is reflected in a value-banded sub-lot structure for housing within for delivery of developments of varying sizes either via traditional or modern methods of construction of: up to 5 units; 6-15 units; 16-49 units; 50 units and above. Plus a separate sub-lot for accommodation construction and/or operation.
The DPS also provides 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. However, whilst scope for this associated development is included, capability to compete such developments is also not criteria for participation in the DPS.
Whilst an end date has been entered within this notice due to this being required by system settings, the advertised intention is that DPS will operate perpetually. In addition, WPA reserves the right to amend the scope and/or terminate and not renew or terminate and renew the DPS.
Scope includes land purchases and development financing; refurbishment of existing dwellings as part of a new-build development; conversion of non-residential buildings to residential uses and district heating system installation. However, these are (non-exhaustive) options only and candidates will not have to demonstrate the capability to deliver these options to be invited to participate.
