Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has a requirement for the supply and delivery of a diverse range of vehicle and specialist vehicle parts, covering a range of fleet vehicles used for operational purposes.
RMBC currently offers its residents two kerbside recycling containers. The black bin allows resident to recycle glass, cans, plastics bottles, pots, tubs, trays and cartons; and the green bin allows residents to recycling paper and card. Each recycling bin is collected monthly from around 220,000 households in its dedicated recycling rounds. Rotherham Business Waste offers the same options to local small and medium businesses with currently around 880 customers, collected weekly.
Rotherham MBC is looking to create a framework of prequalified contractors, to act as Principal Contractors, who may in turn sub-contract out certain works packages to meet the overall defined scope. This will include but not be limited to, the following types of works:
Roofing (repair & Replacement)
Demolition
Building works (Refurbishments, extensions and new builds)
Structural repairs
Mechanical Installation and repairs
Electrical Installation and repairs
Housing Adaptations/Disabled Facilities Extensions
The Furnished Home Scheme supports new Council tenants who are unable to furnish their homes due to personal or financial circumstances. The scheme provides essential furniture and appliances to eligible and low-income new tenants. The scheme helps to promote sustainable tenancies, contributes towards preventing homelessness and supports a smooth transition for tenants moving into their new home.
The aim of the scheme is to help new council tenants on low incomes 'make a house a home' by giving customers the opportunity to lease essential items.
The scheme provides customers with a choice of essential furniture, appliances and white goods options, with customer orders ranging from one to fourteen items.
As well as the provision of items for new customers, the scheme also enables existing customers to request replacement items where there is evidence of 'wear and tear', unintentional damage or manufacture fault (outside of warranty).
There are currently approximately 5900 customers on the Furnished Scheme - expanding from 4500 within the last 2 years.
A "one-stop" furniture and appliances provision service is required with all items ordered by Furnished Homes being delivered to the Furnished Homes warehouse on a specified delivery date. Rotherham Furnished Homes will place weekly orders to ensure stock levels are well maintained, helping to ensure the service achieves its performance indicator of 5 working days from date of order received to delivery and installation of items.
Items required include wardrobes, sofas, single and double bed bases, washing machines,electric cookers, fridge freezers and dining tables.
Subject to relevant approvals, the Council is seeking a single provider with the capability and capacity to deliver the Supply and Distribution of Baby Packs on its behalf.
This scheme involves the procurement of high‑quality items, the assembly of these items into a standardised baby pack, and the subsequent delivery of the completed packs to new mothers in Rotherham who have indicated to their midwife that they wish to receive one.
The appointed supplier will be required to manage and deliver up to 2,800 baby packs per year, with deliveries made directly to the mother's home address. This figure is based on birth trends over the past five years; however, annual volumes may fluctuate depending on the number of completed midwife registrations received through the scheme.
