Building and Condition Surveys

Description

NWL are looking for a number of partners to join our Framework for building and condition surveys and associated services. The work includes but is not limited to condition surveys and inspections of buildings, roads and civil structures on NWL operational and non-operational sites. For larger scale refurbishment or new build construction works, this may require the provision of both pre and post contract services. Health and safety requirements may require the provision of CDM duties as required. The majority of the requirements will be for the NW operating area however the Framework will also cover ESW and there may be some opportunities to deliver services in the ESW operating area too. There is no guaranteed level of work under this framework agreement. Lot 1: The services required under this framework include but are not limited to the provision of core building surveying services including: building surveys, dilapidation assessments, defects diagnosis, refurbishment and repair advice, remediation projects and specialist advice on Northumbrian Water Ltd (NWL) operational and non-operational sites. The services also include the management of maintenance services for NWL's Residential Portfolio (in Northumbrian Water Operating Area only) and this includes the provision of a help desk facility for tenants to report repairs (both in hours and out of hours for emergencies). The consultants appointed may also support NWL in negotiation with private land and property owners and occupiers. For minor works, where appropriate for each site, a detailed asset survey report is provided to identify any repairs, possible causes and required remedial works (including quantities). This includes recommendations for timescales for completion and the production of costed estimates for each repair. For larger scale refurbishment or new build construction works, the scope includes provision of contract services. Typically this includes the pre-contract preparation of designs, specifications, working drawings, tender estimates, bills of quantities, tender documents and tender assessment. Contract duties typically include contract administration, site supervision, cost control and payment certification, final accounts on completion and may include the provision of CDM duties as required.
