The project is for the provision of Building Maintenance, Minor Building Works and Community Aids and Adaptations.

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust Estates Department (the Client) is seeking to appoint a maximum of 6 Contractors for the provision of Building Maintenance, Minor Building Works and Community Aids and Adaptations.

Each Contractor must provide the following subcontractors who meet the listed work categories: Building Contractor - (B2), Mechanical Contractor - (B1,B2,B4,B5) and Electrical Contractor - (B2,B3,B4,B5).

This contract may also incorporate mechanical and electrical works, building services, civil engineering, roofing, flooring, building, joinery, window repairs, painting, glazing works and other related specialist works.

The Contractors shall have resources available to attend any works required 24 hours per day, 365 days per year (including all holidays and weekends).

Successful Contractors will be allocated to a lot within the boundary of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust. • Lot 1 – Craigavon Site East (including Craigavon Area Hospital) (indicative value per annum, £2.5M) • Lot 2 – Craigavon Site West and Banbridge Community (indicative value per annum, £1.5M) • Lot 3 - Newry and Mourne (indicative value per annum, £2M) • Lot 4 - Armagh and Dungannon (indicative value per annum, £1.75M) • Lot 5 - Trustwide Community Aids and Adaptations (indicative value per annum, £300K) • Lot 6 – Reserve • Lot 7 – Trustwide (mini competitions) Contractors will be required to submit a tender for lots 1 to 4, however they will only be awarded one lot.

Exceptions to this are: • Lot 5, which can be won by a Contractor who has won one of the Lots 1 to 4 • Lot 6, which can be won by a Contractor who has won Lot 5 (and has not won any of Lots 1 to 4) • Lot 7, which all successful Contractors will be awarded.

Should less than five Contractors be included within the ITT stage, the Client reserves the right to amend the above lot award methodology to ensure that all Lots have been filled.

Each task order will be for a minimum value of £1.00 and a maximum value of £500,000.00.

However in exceptional circumstances the Client may require the Contractor to provide a minor building works project up to the value of £1,000,000.00 (subject to approval being received from SHSCT Director / Assistant Director in writing).

In such instances the work will be awarded in the same manner as a typical task order i.e. awarded directly to the Contractor for that particular Lot, or following a mini competition between all of the successful Contractors via Lot 7.

The method of award will be at the sole discretion of the Client.

The Client is not under any obligation to award any call off contracts under the Framework.

The Client is not responsible for meeting any costs incurred by the Contractor should the quantity of call off contracts awarded under the Framework fall short of Contractors’ expectations.

The Client reserves the right at any time to procure similar or identical work outside the Frameworks.

The Contractor shall adopt an integrated supply chain approach to managing the provision of the service.

The Contractor must have significant flexibility and readily available multi-disciplinary resources in order to provide the Client with a rapid response and an ability to deal with emergency type works.

This contract will be in place for a period of 36 months.

The Client has at its discretion the option to extend the contract for a further 12 months, subject always to demonstrable satisfactory performance by the Contractor.

All works under this contract will be carried out upon receipt of either a written works specific instruction or a Task Order which will be generated via the Client’s IT Software (currently using MiCAD software).
