Opportunity overview

NHMF Frameworx is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to the proposed establishment of a dedicated Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Framework for Northern Ireland. The proposed framework is intended to provide NHMF members, housing providers and other public sector organisations across Northern Ireland with a compliant and flexible route to market for the delivery of mechanical and electrical works, services and associated maintenance. It is currently anticipated that the framework will provide separate opportunities for domestic and commercial works, recognising the different technical requirements, competencies, accreditations and delivery models associated with each area. The final scope and lot structure have not yet been determined and will be informed by this preliminary market engagement. The framework may include, but is not limited to: Electrical - Including, but not limited to: Electrical installation works; Electrical testing, inspection and certification; Electrical maintenance and remedial works; Fixed wire testing; Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), including equipment within homes, communal facilities, offices and associated ICT/server equipment; Consumer unit and distribution board replacement; Electrical upgrades and rewiring; Landlord and communal electrical systems; and Associated electrical compliance works.

Multi-Disciplinary M&E A multi-disciplinary provision for contractors capable of delivering works across a number of mechanical and electrical disciplines. This may include planned programmes, responsive works, servicing and maintenance contracts requiring a coordinated M&E delivery solution. NHMF Frameworx is particularly keen to engage with Northern Ireland-based contractors, SMEs and specialist providers to understand the capability and capacity of the local supply chain and to ensure that the proposed framework structure provides appropriate opportunities for organisations of different sizes and specialisms. The purpose of the preliminary market engagement is to seek feedback from both contracting authorities and the supply market on matters including the proposed scope, lot structure, geographic coverage, contract values, delivery models and any barriers that could prevent suppliers from participating. Feedback received will be used to inform the development of the procurement strategy and tender documentation. Participation in this preliminary market engagement does not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process and does not represent any commitment by NHMF Frameworx or participating organisations to proceed with the procurement.
