Kitchen Replacement Contract 2006-07

This contract was set up in 2006. It was the first of a new type of contract whereby we established a longer term agreement with a Contractor to replace ~45 kitchens a year for a number of years. In the past we had a contract every 3 or 4 year where a Contractor would replace maybe 120 kitchen in a few months. There are many advantages to this new way.

bulletFor the Contractor the work is guaranteed for several years.
bulletWe can use different types on Contractor, large or small. Small can do one kitchen per week, Large can do four per week, if they choose.
bulletWe can easily add extra properties to the contract. (Previously, ‘one off’ kitchens were expensive to do.)
bulletIt’s easier to get the Contractor back to do repairs.
bulletThe cost is spread over each year, rather than having very large spends every 3~4 years.

The Quantity Surveyor was appointed in May 2006. Mathieson Partnership were chosen.

The Property Management and Development Sub-Committee viewed kitchen units from several suppliers and choose Moore ’s Kitchens as supplier.

Various open days were held in the Sheddocksley area to allow Members to choose the colours and design of their units. Moore ’s then visited each of our Member’s home to design the kitchen to meet their needs.

Following a tender the contract was awarded to Richard Duthie & Sons, Peterhead.

Work started in September 2006.

49 kitchens in the Sheddocksley area were in the first year’s programme

In 2007 further open days were held for the second phase of the contract

35 kitchens in the Balmedie and Northfield area were in the second year’s programme.

The contract progressed well, and Members had very few complaints. The results of the questionnaires are below.
