Foundation Homes and Liverpool City Council are calling for contractors to work on a housing framework worth up to £60million.

The framework, which is one of four platforms the council is creating to invest in new homes and roads, is divided into three lots with projects worth up to £10 million to undertake refurbishment, renovation and repair of untenanted dwellings.

A full suite of construction-related activities is being required such as groundworks, plumbing, electrics, joinery, masonry, plastering and roofing to painting and decorating to enable Foundations and the council to refurbish selected properties across the city over the life of the framework contract.

There will be 18 places in total on the framework, across the three lots, with up to 27 shortlisted suppliers invited to tender, after the Mayor of Liverpool announced a new phase of investment last Autumn.

Interested parties must complete the Selection Questionnaire by Friday, 8 March, which can be found at the Pro Contract website, which is free for businesses to sign up to.

The new housing frameworks have been designed specifically for the city council to deliver its Foundations housing programme – with a focus on enabling Liverpool and Merseyside-based contractors the opportunity to pitch for council contracts, bolstering the local supply chain.
