Procurement for a Supply Chain Partner (Trades) Framework

Wandle Housing Association is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the building(s) and services in accordance with Schedule 6 paragraph 14 of the Housing Act 1985, and in accordance with the landlord's covenants of leases. Wandle Housing Association will establish an Open Framework for the provision of trades.

Wandle is expanding its delivery model for responsive repairs, major works and damp and mould survey and remediation works. Upon commencement of this Framework, Wandle intends to award relevant works and services contracts under this Framework via its new job management system, Total Mobile. Suppliers (whether currently engaged with Wandle or not) are encouraged to submit a Framework submission, in line with the requirements of the specification per Lot.

The Framework will be split into three (3) Lots
Lot 1 - Responsive Repairs
Lot 2 - Major Works (Voids and Disrepairs)
Lot 3 - Damp and/or Mould (Works and Surveys)

The duration of this Framework is for an initial term of one (1) year with options to re-open annually (as per 2.7 of this document), up to a maximum eight (8) years term in total (across the scheme of Frameworks). Any decision regarding the re-opening of the Framework, as outlined above, remains entirely at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and will be exercised in accordance with its strategic and operational requirements which may change during the initial set term of the Framework

Suppliers are to note that they will not be required to deliver all trades within a particular Lot; Suppliers will be required to detail the trades they can deliver as part of the Framework Submission.

PLEASE NOTE: Drop in sessions are available to suppliers (via Teams) to allow for queries relating to getting set up on ProContract, or how the new "open" Framework will operate. Please review the clarification question within the the messaging function of the project within ProContract.
