Further, applicants shall note the appointment to the framework is not a guarantee of any work. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Consortium's estimated range of value of the consideration the successful contractor may receive under any call-off contracts issued pursuant to the framework agreement is likely to be above the Public Procurement Threshold for Works contracts. The maximum estimated value has been provided to cover all unforeseen incidents that may arise to buildings requiring a complexity of works over the term of the framework, including the potential for a major incident to a large or high-rise building. However, it is unlikely the maximum value will be utilised and further information on historic volumes and the average value of a call-off contract is in the procurement documents.

It is currently anticipated that the term shall commence on the 1 April 2025. Applicants shall be aware that all dates in this advertisement are estimates only and moreover the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea reserves the right to cancel the procurement and not to proceed with the framework agreement at any stage of the procurement process. Applicants shall be aware that members of the Consortium who cease use of the Framework shall not be replaced.

The estimated value of this framework is £4,000,000 to £50,000,000.
