As outlined within the procurement documentation:

71200000: Architectural and related services.

Bridge Homes, established in 2014, focusses on developing good quality homes aimed within the middle-market. Close working with the current procured architect has been an essential part of the process in developing a house style plus a level of required detail and quality features in our new homes.

In pursuance of the company’s business objectives, Bridge Homes is now seeking to establish an Architectural Services framework to support delivery for the next four years. Appointment to the framework will allow the successful tenderers to undertake Architectural Services on planned and future developments for Bridge Homes. The appointment process will also identify which Architect from the final framework will be the provider on the Flanshaw development at Springfield Grange, Wakefield.

Bridge Homes has an established website showcasing its homes for sale which can be accessed at www.bridgehomesyorkshire.co.uk

Furthermore, WDH is entitled to utilise the framework in their own right, for their specific architectural requirements relating to their development projects to meet, for example, the affordable housing needs of the district and areas of operation.

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender.

Under this contract the contractor may be required (where the award criteria reflect this) to actively contribute to the achievement of social objectives. These include: skills development; employment and training opportunities within the locality of where the contract will be delivered; and other added value initiatives throughout the supply chain to support community programmes promoted by Bridge Homes, Wakefield and District Housing Limited, their partners and those contracting authorities who are entitled to use this framework and their partners.
