Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

RCTH is seeking to appoint a number of scaffolding suppliers to support the service delivery of our internal repairs team, the Housing Maintenance Unit (HMU). RCTH intend to appoint a maximum of three suppliers to a framework arrangement. Appointment to the framework offers no guarantee of work streams, however where work arises supplier services will be drawn down on a needs basis based on capacity, quality and performance. Successful suppliers appointed to the framework will hold their pricing for the duration of the contract. The contract duration will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months subject to satisfactory performance.

The scaffolding will be required primarily to support responsive repairs to our properties that arise as follows:

Responsive repairs – work ordered following the tenant or a member of staff reporting a defect to one of our properties. The selected supplier will provide scaffolding required on all responsive repair work undertaken across all of the properties managed by RCTH. The scaffolding will be used by either RCTH’s in-house labour force or by contractors working on behalf of RCTH.

The selected supplier may also be nominated to provide all scaffolding required by contractors undertaking cyclical and planned maintenance works on properties managed by RCTH. Although there is no obligation for the Contractor to utilise our nominated providers if they can demonstrate VFM through use of their own or alternative providers. The scaffolding will be used by either RCTH’s in-house labour force or by contractors working on behalf of RCTH.

The appointed suppliers will be required to:

-Erect basic scaffolding

-Design scaffold structures where basic scaffold structures are not considered satisfactory

-Alter scaffolding following its erection (if required)

-Inspect scaffolding structures to ensure that they are safe, attaching scaffolding tags once erected, ensuring they are completed and signed off

-Ensure tenant TV and Satellite signals are maintained and/or reinstated satisfactorily following scaffold erection Re-inspection of scaffolding (where necessary)Dismantle scaffolding and remove from site
