II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The Council is looking to appoint a number of MAIN CONTRACTORS to a proposed framework to deliver various elements of housing construction works.
Contractors appointed to the Housing Construction Works Framework will be expected to be capable of carrying out a range of works including large scale refurbishment projects, backlog decent homes work and similar projects in occupied premises.
It is also expected that there will be a programme of new homes building and potential contractors would be expected to be able to demonstrate experience of this.
The Council is looking to engage contractors who are willing to work with the Council to investigate alternative funding sources. Essentially this alternative financing would be required to plug a disparity between the available resources and the requirements of the housing investment programme through a form of forward funding that could supplement the mainstream capital programme until surplus funds are available after year five of the planned investment programme.

II.2)QUANTITY OR SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT
II.2.1)Total quantity or scope
The current approved capital programme London Borough of Barking and Dagenham for the years 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 is 40 300 000 GBP, 13 500 000 GBP and 13 500 000 GBP respectively. The lower approved sums for later years are partially because potential capital receipts and capital grants have not yet been identified so it is likely that the funding gap in later years will be reduced.
Given the uncertainties around these programmes and the use of mini-competitions it has to be emphasised that no firm appointed to the framework can be guaranteed that they will be awarded any contracts.
