CHIC is pleased to announce the launch of the procurement process for the new CHIC Newbuild Framework. The PQQ submission deadline is 30th May 2023 at 3pm.
A link to Contract Notice is below:
CHIC intends to procure an 8 year Newbuild Development Framework for construction works and consultancy services. The framework will cater for a wide range of project types, from small infill and garage sites to large estate regeneration projects including newbuild, refurbishment/retrofit and cross subsidy housing for sale.
As CHIC works across the UK, development will include a diverse range from traditional 1/2/3 storey buildings to medium and high rise. Although generally housing focused, being Housing Associations and Local Authority landlords, CHIC’s members are more diverse (education, health, commercial sectors), so the Framework is being procured for a wider range of needs than just housing.
The framework will provide a variety of different solutions needed for any newbuild project, providing options to select the most appropriate ‘route to market’ for specific projects whilst supporting and promoting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and comprise the following lots:
Lot 1 – Consultancy Services for newbuild and regeneration projects
Workstream 1- project manager/contract administrator/employers agent/ quantity surveyor
Workstream 2 – Architectural Services
Workstream 3 – Engineering Services (Structural and Civil)
Workstream 4 – Principal Designer
Lot 2 – Development Contracting Services
Workstream 1 – Newbuild Main Contractors
Workstream 2 – MMC Manufacturers – Fully Modular
Workstream 3 – MMC Manufacturers – Frame& Panel
Workstream 4 – MMC Turnkey Contractors
Lot 3 – Regeneration Contractors
Provision of services of contractors which can combine any range of the following works and services:
• traditional newbuild (brick and block)
• MMC newbuild (whole building and/or pods)
• refurbishment
• building conversions
• decarbonisation retrofit
• infrastructure improvements
• housing for sale (by Employer or Contractor)
CHIC has adopted the recommendations of ‘Constructing the Gold Standard’ in its approach to this procurement and it is CHIC’s first framework to adopt the FAC-1 form of collaborative framework agreement, with a variety of options for call off contracts.
