Description of options:

Derby Homes wishes to standardise its corporate identity, as much as possible, across the entire workforce. In order to do this certain garments in this tender must be priced for in accordance to the manufacturer name and model number listed. However, where an equivalent garment can be suggested by a bidder they can give full details in a separate document of the item(s) that are regarded as an ‘equivalent’, the specification which makes it an equivalent and the cost of the item taking into account the quantities required. Derby Homes will then give full consideration to the recommendations.

As part of the tender process Derby Homes will be holding an open day on Tuesday, 14.6.2016 at 839 London Road, Derby, DE24 8UZ between 9:00 and 15:00 to discuss this tender opportunity.

The aim of the open day is:

— To reach as many potential bidders as possible;

Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents

Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents

It is a requirement under this contract that the successful bidder must be able to provide a local counter service. Derby Homes have approximately 150 operatives and office staff whose clothing requirements will be purchased under this contract. In order for Derby Homes to comply with Health and Safety Regulations, its operatives must have access to appropriate protective footwear and worn or inappropriate footwear must be replaced in the shortest time-scale possible. Derby Homes do not have any storage facilities for these items and so the successful supplier must be able to keep sufficient stock so as to provide an immediate replacement item of footwear, to the specification required, for immediate purchase from a counter within the City of Derby boundary.

Organisations will need to give comprehensive details as to how they will provide this service by submission of Method Statements which will then be reinforced by attending both an interview and by a Site Visit to the proposed service counter.

Full details of any conditions are set out in the tender documents. These may include conditions relating to environmental and social requirements.
