Framework for a Pool of Small Contractors

Cardiff Council · Local authority

In brief

Cardiff Council has announced plans to buy construction work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £3,600,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 August 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 25 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £3,600,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Council’s Voids Team manage the works being delivered to bring void properties up to a standard for a new tenancy. As a property becomes vacant, a Technical Manager from the Voids Team visits the property and assesses the repair requirements and creates a schedule of works required. The Council is seeking to engage multiple Contractors to create a pool, who can be called upon to complete specific work activities to assist the in house team. Whilst the work is predominantly in vacant properties, there will be some work in occupied properties which will be instructed by the Responsive Repairs Unit.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
