Our Roofing Lot covers the provision for the replacement or repair of existing pitched roof coverings, roof structures, guttering / rainwater pipes, fascias / soffits, dormer windows where identified. It has been broken down into 3 sub-lots to allow for specialist roofing contractors.
The framework is free to access for any publicly funded body and you’ll benefit from our advice and guidance at every stage of the process.
Customers are able to Direct Award to the top ranked supplier on this Lot providing that your requirement is within the scope of the framework. In exceptional cases, you are able to direct award outside of number 1 with a strong justification. If you’d like to speak to us about this in more detail please get in touch.
A direct award will take approximately 3-4 weeks depending on your internal approval processes. Learn more about the process here – Direct Award Process.
You’re also able to run a mini-competition to call off this framework. You’ll be able to use your own specification and cost model. You can also choose your own cost / quality split and quality questions. All pricing submitted by contractors must be linked to the framework.
Once you have your specification and cost model ready, the tender process takes approximately 6-8 weeks, depending on your internal approval processes. Learn more about the process here – Mini Tender Process.
Any publically funded body can use this framework – access is not limited to SEC Members alone. Full details can be found here.
To access this framework compliantly you’ll need to sign a copy of our access agreement. You can download a template version of the agreement here – I&E Building Works Framework Authorising Agreement.
There is no access fee to use this framework. A levy % dependant on whether you are a guest or member is collected directly from the contractor once a call off contract is awarded.
In the evaluation of bidders for this framework, a cost / quality ratio was used rather than the traditional cost / quality evaluation method. The aim of using the cost / quality ratio as the evaluation approach for this framework was to measure quality and then calculate the quality as a function of price to measure overall Value for Money (VFM). You can learn more about the cost/quality ratio and how we used it here.
