A1 Housing DPS PQQ December 2014.

Descriptions

The DPS requires suppliers to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), referred to as an Indicative Tender. Suppliers must satisfy A1 Housing that they are a capable, competent and stable organisation.Suppliers can apply at any time. This DPS will run from 1.4.2015 to 31.3.2019 and applications will be considered during that time.Works will be awarded through the 4 years as follows:1) Major Works and one-off projects will be offered to capable suppliers to quote/tender against a Specification and/or Schedule of Works/Rates or Bill of Quantities. The criteria (price and quality) will be communicated within the quote/tender documentation. For this type of work, A1 Housing will typically use the appropriate JCT Contract.A1 Housing will generally appoint a single supplier to this type of work or a panel of suppliers if time is of the essence.2) Contracted-out Works/Services, such as heating installations, scaffolding or roofing, will be parcelled into 'Lots' of work and appointed to 1 or more of the approved suppliers capable of doing that work, based on Schedule of Rates costs and quality criteria, for a set term (typically 6 months). Suppliers will be able to re-bid as those terms expire.3) Sub-contracted works, such as electrical repairs, masonry and building repairs, etc. where suppliers are providing responsive repairs services, will be awarded on an expected volume/value basis. This will represent between 6-9 months work. However, if it takes 12 months to achieve those volumes, successful suppliers can expect to work for the extended period.A1 Housing may appoint 1, 2 or more suppliers to each 'Lot' under (2) or (3) above.The final requirement of a DPS is that all communication is electronic. A1Housing will deploy the Xantive system from the commencement of the DPS.
