Supply of Scaffolding Services

General requirements Tenders are invited for the supply of scaffolding services to support the operations of Housing's Repairs and Maintenance Team. This contract will not be divided in to lots as the need to co-ordinate the different contracts could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of the service. North West Leicestershire District Council ('The Customer')'s requirements are defined in the specification. Background The Council has approximately 4,400 Council Homes. 90% of all responsive repairs and 100% of all minor works to these homes are carried out by the in-house Repairs and Maintenance team. In each of the last two financial years, this has equated to approximately 10,000 works orders issued across all trades. The team also carry out remedial works to 360 empty homes (voids) each year and is to deliver an additional £4m of planned improvement works to Council homes each year for the next 4 years, including around 85 re-roofs per annum. The value of the contract is estimated to be in the region of £400,000 - £420,000 over the 4-year period. However, it is stressed that the nature and scope of work is demand-led and that the Council cannot give any guarantee as to the future values of works carried out under this agreement, including any minimum level or value of works the successful Supplier will receive during the contract period.
