Frameworx, the not-for-profit social housing procurement framework that is committed to investing in social value and communities, is delighted to announce that a new framework for Communal Mechanical and Electrical Services is being developed.
David Miller, Frameworx Director comments: “Frameworx was established last year in association with the National Housing Maintenance Forum with an initial round of seven frameworks covering Planned and Responsive Maintenance, Asset Management, Compliance Consultancy, Energy, and Materials Supply, which are all now live and operating successfully. We’re adding to these with further frameworks and the latest opportunity will cover Communal Mechanical and Electrical Services.
“The PIN notice for Communal Mechanical and Electrical Services has been recently published and this is made up of 6 Lots covering Security, Access and Life support Systems, Active Fire Detection/Prevention Systems, Lifts and Disabled Lifting Equipment, Sprinkler System Installations, Landlord’s Electrical Services and Water Hygiene, Tanks and Mains Distribution Installations.
“For providers, Frameworx offers a competitive maximum fee of 1.5% and the opportunity to get involved in both cascaded contract and direct awards. Frameworx also gives peace of mind as it is backed with the credibility and expertise of the NHMF, which represents more than 80% of the UK’s register providers of social housing, and it is supported by the M3NHF Schedule of Rates which sets the benchmark for cost and quality of building maintenance work.
“One of the main points of difference with Frameworx is our ethos: we are not-for-profit and focused on reinvesting in in social value and the communities in which we work. We are determined to work with providers, contractors and suppliers who share these values and aim to offer greater choice and better value for all stakeholders.
“The Communal Mechanical and Electrical Services framework one of five new frameworks being launched this year, covering Heating Services, Estate Services, Disabled Adaptations and Specialist/ Sub-contractor Services incorporating a range of works like groundworks, drainage, damp and mould treatment, and roofing. Interest so far in our offering has been astonishing and we have a growing pipeline of interest and contracts being awarded. This year’s round of frameworks will only increase this opportunity further.”
