Emergency Dangerous Structures Framework

Description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (the ‘Authority”) on behalf of itself and the following authorities comprising the London Dangerous Structures Consortium: the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, City of Westminster, Corporation of the City of London, Royal Borough of Greenwich, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (member of the LDSA - London District Surveyors' Association), plus Dartford Borough Council, and Spelthorne Borough Council (the ‘Consortium’) invites Tenders for the appointment of one supplier to an Emergency Dangerous Structures Framework Agreement (the ‘Framework Agreement’). The Authority on behalf of the Consortium requires a Contractor with the capacity and track record to provide rapid response (attendance within 2 hours), emergency shoring and remedial works to dangerous buildings and structures (this could include boarding windows to major shoring operation of large high-rise buildings) on a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year basis across the Consortium's geographical area encompassing all of London, plus Dartford and Spelthorne. It is proposed that this framework would start on the 1 April 2025 running for a period of 4-years to the 31 March 2029. The Contractor may also be asked to provide planned maintenance or planned works as and when required. Lot 1: The Framework covers both rapid responsive emergency works and specific planned maintenance work. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Consortium does not guarantee that any call-off contracts shall be issued under this framework nor do they guarantee any volume of work which may be issued pursuant to such a framework. Further, applicants shall note the appointment to the framework is not a guarantee of any work. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Consortium's estimated range of value of the consideration the successful contractor may receive under any call-off contracts issued pursuant to the framework agreement is likely to be above the Public Procurement Threshold for Works contracts. The maximum estimated value has been provided to cover all unforeseen incidents that may arise to buildings requiring a complexity of works over the term of the framework, including the potential for a major incident to a large or high-rise building. However, it is unlikely the maximum value will be utilised and further information on historic volumes and the average value of a call-off contract is in the procurement documents. It is currently anticipated that the term shall commence on the 1 April 2025. Applicants shall be aware that all dates in this advertisement are estimates only and moreover the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea reserves the right to cancel the procurement and not to proceed with the framework agreement at any stage of the procurement process. Applicants shall be aware that members of the Consortium who cease use of the Framework shall not be replaced. The estimated value of this framework is £4,000,000 to £50,000,000.
