It is Home Group’s preference that all prospective bidders utilise our e- tendering portal to download and submit all documentation within the tender. This portal can be found at: www.housingprocurement.com. Prospective bidders must log onto the site and register as a supplier. Instructions and help are available from the home page. Once interest has been registered, Home Group is able to issue the PQQ document to prospective bidders accordingly. The completed document must then be submitted back to the portal; instructions included within the PQQ document detailing how to achieve this. Queries from bidders can also be raised within the portal by utilising the Q & A facility where they will be answered, allowing total transparency to all other participating bidders. Home Group is acting as a central purchasing body on behalf of itself and potentially a range of contracting authorities who will be able to access this framework. Eligible bodies include: Home Group and any existing or future subsidiary companies (see www.homegroup.org.uk for more information on the Group); Other Registered Providers in England (providers registered with the Homes and Communities Agency, see www.homesandcommunities.co.uk) and Social Landlords in Scotland (providers registered with the Scottish Housing Regulator, see www.scottishhousingregulator.gov.uk); Charitable Organisations registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (see www.charitycommission.gov.uk ) or the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (see www.oscr.org.uk) whose charitable purposes include, but not are limited to, the prevention or relief of poverty; the advancement of education; the advancement of health or saving of lives; the advancement of citizenship or community development; the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage; and, any other purposes currently recognised as charitable and any new charitable purposes which are similar to another charitable purpose; and Social Enterprises involved in the provision of housing related services/activities or whose activities are similar to those listed above in respect of charitable organisations. Home Group is underway with an initiative to develop a suite of standard house types for the majority of new build development activity. Framework Architects may be expected to utilise these standard house types within schemes for which they have been appointed. Home Group reserves the right to seek more favourable fee levels based on repetitive design or cloning of house types.
