The Riverside Group Limited wishes to establish a four year non-binding Framework Agreement for Real Estate Consultants to assist with the partial rationalisation of its social housing stock, at the locations described at II.2 above.
The Riverside Group Limited proposes to split the available work into 2 lots for different services, of which Consultants may apply for either one or both lots.
The selected consultant(s) under Lot 1 will be required to provide Valuation Services (Open Market Valuations, Existing Use Valuations.Social Housing and, where appropriate, Net Present Valuations) – for two principal purposes – namely – first time valuation and revaluation for lenders and investors on secured stock, as well as for stock rationalisation purposes. The selected Consultant(s) under Lot 2 will be required to provide strategic advice and tactical support, marketing, negotiation and other services associated with the disposal of the aforementioned properties.
The selected consultant(s) will be required to provide valuation advice, market the property, deal with public enquiries, and provide Energy Performance Certificates where required.
Further information on the lots, and proposed call-off procedures will be found in the Tender Supporting Documentation.
The Riverside Group Limited owns or manages approximately 46 000 properties across England. After a review of its property profile, The Riverside Group Limited has identified as part of its strategy properties which are to be disposed of via transfers to other Registered Providers or open market sales. Further information shall be provided in the Tender documents.
Note: The award of the Framework Agreement will not constitute any guarantee of work. Suitable Real Estate Consultants will be called off the Framework – by means of direct call off or by means of mini-competition – in order to satisfy project requirements. Further details on method of call off will be provided in the Tender documentation.
The Framework Agreement to be entered into will be managed by The Riverside Group Limited. All current and future members, subsidiaries, and joint venture arrangements of The Riverside Group Limited, partners of The Riverside Group Limited and other organisations with similar interests to The Riverside Group Limited will be entitled to call-off individual contracts pursuant to the framework. These contracts will be held, managed and supervised by the individual organisation making the call-off. Further details are provided at Section VI.3) and in the Tender Notes Document.
The key objectives of the framework are:
— to provide access to a pre-tendered, OJEU compliant, framework for The Riverside Group Limited and other organisations as detailed above who may wish to use the Framework,
— to deliver cashable and non-cashable efficiencies to meet government and The Riverside Group Limited or other organisations Value for Money, and efficiency targets,
— to develop a performance driven culture where the companies providing the most effective and efficient delivery of our objectives are recognised and rewarded.
Expressions of interest are sought from suitably experienced companies who would like to enter into the Framework Agreement.
The aspiration is to establish a framework consisting of a number of companies for the scope of the services to be provided pursuant to the framework.
