Purpose

Approval needed to undertake a procurement exercise of multi-trade contractors to support Leeds Building Services (LBS) with delivery of multi-trade works to non-housing property civic and commercial properties.

The proposal is likely to seek to appoint a number of contractors to a framework in order to deliver works for an initial term of 2 years with the option to extend for 2 x 12-month periods.

The proposed contract will have an estimated annual value of £3 million. Therefore, the total contract value including the extensions is £12 million

Decision

The Director of Strategy & Resources approved the procurement activity to implement a framework of contractors, estimated at £4m per annum for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 x 12 months (total estimated spend of £16m with extensions). The framework will be structured in the following manner:  

·  Lot 1 – Reactive / Responsive works up to £5k – with estimated annual spend up to £500kpa (up to 2 contractors)

·  Lot 2 – Low value projects £5k up to £100k – with estimated annual spend up to £2,000,000 (up to 3 contractors)

·  Lot 3 – Medium/Major Project above £100k – with estimated annual spend up to £1,500,000 (up to 3 contractors)
