Description

We are seeking to issue a Contract for Material Supply and Delivery Service for a period of 7 years with the option to extend for up to a further 3 x 1 year periods. The Contract will be split into three lots: Lot 1: General Building Lot 2: Plumbing Lot 3. Electrical Lots will be awarded on an individual basis to a single Supplier and a Supplier may be awarded a combination of Lots. Therefore, Tenderers must ensure that their submission clearly shows that they’re able to meet the requirements of each selected Lot, and not to make any statement or assumption that their bid is conditional on being awarded all, or a minimum number of Lots. The Contract will be split into three lots: Lot 1: General Building Lot 2: Plumbing Lot 3. Electrical Tenderers are invited to submit options that they feel would offer innovative solutions that provide (and can demonstrate) industry best practice and value for money, whilst ensuring they meet the requirements of delivering the Contract. Tai Tarian is keen to consider proposals from Tenderers who can offer the service from existing or newly developed premises, provided that an equally dedicated responsive service will be provided. There are currently five internal teams delivering a mixture of reactive and planned work, all of which will utilise this contract This requirement is expected to be achieved by delivering a van stock management and replenishment service to thirty vehicles across the three lots, as well as direct delivery of materials to customer’s homes, vacant properties or site in advance of the trades arriving to undertake the work. Provision of a collection facility is also required; however, it is expected that successful suppliers work with Tai Tarian and its customers to maximise direct deliveries and efficient management of van stocks so reducing counter collected orders. An organisational commitment has been made to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. The current focus is on operational energy and fuel, with efficiency being the driver in the near term, with use of more environmentally friendly products, cleaner energy and fuels to follow. Tenderers should demonstrate their own commitments to the environmental challenges and carbon reduction in the way it is intended to run and manage this contract.

Under the terms of this contract the successful supplier(s) will be required to deliver Community Benefits in support of the authority’s economic and social objectives. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social and environmental considerations. The Community Benefits included in this contract are: Tai Tarian is committed to contributing to the social, economic and environmental well-being of the wider community. Consequently, Community Benefits clauses will be a mandatory contract clause. Therefore, as a minimum requirement, Tenderers will have to agree that community benefits will become part of the contract, if a Tenderer does not agree to this, then the Tenderer will be rejected. This means, as part of their tender response, Tenderers are asked to set out how they will deliver ‘community benefits’ through the contract by completing the ‘Menu of Options’ which will form their Community Benefits Plan, attached as Appendix 5. Tai Tarian will be adopting the “core approach” as part of this procurement process. This means the Community Benefits Plan will be evaluated and scored as part of the tender process. However, contractual clauses will set out the specific targets for delivery, to be agreed within 60 days of commencement of the contract. (WA Ref:131666) The buyer considers that this contract is suitable for consortia.
