Gentoo Group are currently seeking expressions of interest prior to potentially going to market to procure a Provider to deliver responsive window and external door replacements.
The Framework is due to commence in October 2020 and run for a period of four years.
The scope of the works requires the Contractor to attend a property with a damaged window or door, carry out a measurement survey and replace the window or door within a prescribed time frame.
Please note: this Tender is to procure a RESPONSIVE window and external door replacement Provider. Works are unplanned and the Contractor will be required to adhere to the time frames stated within the service level agreements which are included in the Tender documentation.
All boarding up works, where required, will be completed by Gentoo prior to the Contractor attending site.
All works to be completed as part of this Tender will be completed during "normal" working hours and an out-of-hours responsive service will NOT be required.
Please also note that whilst this is a window and external door requirement, it is envisaged that the vast majority of replacements will be external GRP doors

As part of their commitment to maintain their housing stock, Gentoo Group currently has a roofing Framework in place in which a Principal Provider is responsible for re-roofing Gentoo properties in various locations throughout Sunderland, Houghton, Hetton and Washington - Tyne & Wear.
Many of the Gentoo properties which are receiving new roofs adjoin owner occupied properties which do not fall under the ownership of Gentoo.
Therefore, so that Gentoo may comply with the Party Wall Act of 1996, it is a requirement that any affected adjoining properties are made aware of the works in accordance with set timescales and given the opportunity to consent to the works or alternatively, to dissent and appoint an independent Party Wall Surveyor to inspect the works in accordance with this Act.
Under the Act, the responsibility for appointment of the Surveyor rests with the Party who wishes to have the work carried out (I.E. - Gentoo Group Ltd).
Subsequently, the purpose of this Tender is to procure a Surveying Consultancy to provide these services to Gentoo.
It will be the intention of Gentoo to appoint three Providers to this Framework for a period of four years.
The first ranked Tenderer will initially be awarded all works available. In the event they fail or are unable to meet the service level agreements stated within this document, Gentoo will seek to appoint the second ranked Tenderer to deliver the works. This process will then move to the third placed Tenderer in the event second place is also unable to deliver or meet the requirements of the service level agreements.
