Opportunity overview

Bron Afon Community Housing is exploring the establishment of a subcontractor framework to support the delivery of repairs, maintenance, planned investment and construction-related works across its housing stock and assets. The framework will provide additional resource and capacity to support Bron Afon's Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) and ensure the organisation can continue to deliver high-quality services to residents. The framework is expected to include lots for responsive repairs, highway works, doors & windows, drainage & groundworks and whole house refurbishments with work awarded on an as-required basis throughout the framework term. In addition to the proposed framework opportunity, Bron Afon is also planning a programme of future procurement opportunities over the next 18 months, including gas, heating and plumbing works, heating installations, cleaning services, external garden works and flooring. Suppliers attending the Meet the Buyer event will have the opportunity to learn more about these forthcoming opportunities and the anticipated procurement pipeline. Bron Afon is particularly interested in engaging with local SMEs and suppliers capable of delivering responsive, planned and specialist works across South Wales.
