Short description of the contract or purchase(s): Please note:
This procurement process is below the relevant threshold for works and therefore not subject to the requirements of the EU Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC and the UK Statutory Instrument 2006/5. A contract notice has been issued on a voluntary basis, to ensure ample competition is achieved, this does not commit or require Wulvern Housing to adhere to the articles of 2004/18/EC or UKSI 2006/5. Wulvern Housing is seeking bids from contractors to participate in a central heating installations framework. Works will include full system replacements as well as boiler upgrades. The framework will primarily cover installations of, or upgrades to standard natural gas systems. Call-off contracts awarded as part of this framework may also include LPG installations, electric systems and systems based on air-source solutions. Estimated volume of orders (individual properties) for the duration of the framework is 800. The ordered properties will be distributed amongst successful tendering Contractors at Wulvern’s discretion. It is estimated that the approximate value of work over the framework period (5 years) will be 2,000,000 GBP however, no guarantee can be given as to the actual amount of work that will be ordered and no variation to the tendered rates or percentage adjustments will be made should the value be greater or lesser than the estimated value.
