London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is looking for a pan borough contractor to undertake various remedial works together with a wide range of general ad-hoc construction work including some complex high value voids. The contract will be for a period of 5 years with an option to extend by a period or periods to make a maximum period of 7 years. Typical work types might be (without limitation, for remedial fire works: fire doors, firefighting equipment including risers, sprinklers, fire detection systems) evacuation systems, smoke control systems, fire engineered solutions, structural engineered compliance solutions and external façade remediation. In terms of complex high value voids typical works types might be: properties subject to disrepair claims, complex structural works, remodelling works, extensions, major facade works, sensitively sited properties, fire damage, flood damage, roofing, underpinning, brickwork/blockwork, carpentry, window replacement, exterior decoration, internal decoration, plumbing, electrics, glazing, plastering, kitchen replacement, bathroom replacement, damp-proofing, scaffolding, dry rot. Project values for complex high value voids could range from 15 000 GBP to 1 000 000 GBP and above.
The value of the contract will depend on the instructions required during its term which is dependent on a number of factors, but are responsive to the needs of the contracting authority. The value is therefore unpredictable. The anticipated maximum value of the contract over the total 7 years is 75 000 000 GBP. However, the actual value may be much lower. The contract will be non-exclusive and the contracting authority may appoint other contractors to carry out any of the works or carry out the works themselves. There is no guarantee or warranty as to the number of orders to be placed with the successful contractor.
The contracting authority intends to appoint the second placed bidder as a reserve contractor. In the event that the main contract is terminated for any reason the contracting authority may then seek to instruct the reserve contractor. In addition if there are any works which the contractor is unable to carry out due to capacity issues or otherwise the contracting authority may instruct the reserve contractor or appoint an alternative contractor to carry out the works.
