Framework Agreement for the Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Personal Lifts and Hoists

Description

Knowsley Council, Trafford Council and Rochdale Borough Council are seeking to establish a Framework Agreement (the Contract) for the supply, installation and maintenance of personal lifts and hoists. The Framework Agreement is for the supply, installation, servicing, maintenance, removal and re-installation of stairlifts, vertical through floor lifts, steplifts and hoists that improve the access to facilities for disabled people with sensory and mobility loss. The supply and installation work will be carried out in both private owner occupied and housing association properties. The servicing and maintenance will be predominantly carried out in private owner occupier's household properties, but could also be required in other tenures. A small number of other items are serviced in respite services and in shared lives homes. The Specification, together with the accompanying tender documents, outlines the full scope of requirements and invites submissions from suitably experienced suppliers. The Framework Agreement (the Contract) will be for a period of 48 months. The Framework will be divided into four lots. A pre-market engagement notice has not been completed as the contracting authorities determined market engagement is not required due to the route to market being open tender. A planned procurement notice has not been completed as the contracting authorities do not wish to reduce the timescales of this tender. The evaluation process consisted of verification of the bids received on the Chest and releasing these to the evaluation panel for evaluation. The panel reviewed and scored the bidders' responses and moderation meetings were held where a Procurement Category Manager ensured the evaluation process was conducted in a fair manner in accordance with the pre-determined criteria and scoring methodology set out at the time of invitations, with a consensus score being finalised with the panel. Commercial returns were then reviewed, with the Procurement Category Manager releasing the final results to the evaluation panel. In the interest of transparency the total value of the Framework was set at £20m (ex VAT) The values per lot stated within this notice are estimates only and should not be taken as fact.
