Replacement Kitchen Contract

Descriptions

Following the successful outcome of a tenant ballot, Gwynedd Council transferred approximately 6,300 units of its housing stock to Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd Cyf (CCG), a newly formed Registered Provider of social housing in April 2010.CCG is now seeking expressions of interest from experienced and qualified Service Providers to carry out a 4 year installation only kitchen programme including but not limited to the removal and installation of new kitchens units, floor covering, wall tiles, decoration and associated works (including where necessary removal of asbestos, alterations to gas pipe work and associated building works). It is envisaged that between 1 to 3 constructors will be selected to deliver the works with an approximate aggregate value of GBP 3.5 million excluding key building materials i.e. kitchen units, floor coverings and wall tiles. Additional Information:CCG''s housing stock is mainly concentrated in the settlement towns of Bangor, Caernarfon, Pwllheli, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Dolgellau, Bala and Tywyn in the county of Gwynedd, North Wales. Service Providers should be aware that Gwynedd is a mountainous region covering an area of around 2,548 sq Kilometres with 67% of its area located within the Snowdonia National Park. Properties are spread out across a wide area of the County located in towns, villages and sometimes isolated rural locations. Service Providers will need to be able to overcome the obvious logistical challenges involved in delivering the works to all these areas.Only Service Providers with proven experience of having successfully completed similar contracts on other large scale Social Housing projects need apply. The works being advertised by CCG pursuant to this notice form part of a wider programme of refurbishment works to meet the Welsh Housing Quality Standard as more particularly set out within the "Briefing Paper" which is available for download via the "Notice Resources" link below.
