Tender: Vico Homes Kitchen Replacement Programme – Wakefield Lot Contracts (WF1–WF11)

About

Vico Homes is seeking a contractor for the planned like-for-like replacement of kitchens in Vico Homes properties across defined Wakefield Lots. The contractor will act as Principal Contractor and must deliver complete, safe, compliant and habitable kitchen replacements in line with statutory compliance, safety, resident need and any approved design changes, coordinating duties under CDM and applicable Building Regulations except where duties are expressly retained by Vico Homes. Properties are grouped into three geographical Lots (Lot 1: Wakefield South WF1, WF2, WF4; Lot 2: Wakefield North WF3, WF5, WF6, WF10, WF11; Lot 3: Wakefield East WF7, WF8, WF9) with a contractor appointed to each Lot and initial address lists provided in year 1; volumes are anticipated to increase per annum as indicated in Appendix B. The contractor is responsible for developing and managing its delivery programme including customer appointments, survey sequencing, asbestos surveys/removals, kitchen surveys, tenant choice capture, ordering kitchens via Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) through Symphony/Stores, arranging manufacture and installation, resource planning, geographical batching and backfill arrangements; year 1 kitchen and asbestos surveys have been completed for the majority of properties and will be provided, and from year 2 the contractor will be responsible for the full process. All kitchen orders and kitchen packs must be processed through Symphony via Vico Homes Stores (operated by JPS); contractors must hold and maintain an approved credit facility with JPS, receive, inspect, secure, store and manage stock at their own facilities, and supply all other items required to complete works at their own cost within the tendered rates. Vico Homes will maintain an in-house delivery team operating in WF7, WF8 and WF10 and the internal delivery volumes for those postcodes have been removed from the anticipated volumes of Lot 2 and Lot 3.
