Lot 1 - Low Value Projects - Delivery of Projects of low value most suited to SMEs - estimated value 25,000,000.00 Framework GBP incl VAT, per annum - It is envisaged four Contractors, with the option to appoint five Contractors, will be appointed for this lot

Lot 2 - High Value Projects - Delivery of Projects of higher value most suited to larger Suppliers - estimated value 35,000,000.00 GBP incl VAT, per annum - It is envisaged four Contractors, with the option to appoint five Contractors, will be appointed for this lot

Suppliers are to note that in accordance with Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023, Southern Housing are electing to limit the number of lots a Supplier can apply for within this process.

Southern Housing are keen to ensure they have due regard for Section 12 of the Procurement Act, in relation to removing barriers to participation for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

A Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) is defined as:

•fewer than 250 staff (see paragraph 8 above); and

•less than or equal to 44,000,000.00 GBP in annual turnover or a balance sheet total of less than or equal to 38,000,000.00 GBP.

Southern Housing have therefore taken the decision to establish two lots for this opportunity.

Suppliers are encouraged to have due regard for the information above when applying for this opportunity.

Pre-market engagement has not been deemed necessary for this opportunity as the scope was already well defined.
