Coastal Housing Group - Meet the Client Event - Swansea


  


Title:
Coastal Housing Group - Meet the Client Event
Date: Monday 30th November 2015
Location: Swansea (venue confirmed on registration)
Time: 8am – 10am
Cost: Free

Coastal Housing Group is a not-for-profit Housing Association operating in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Bridgend. We have over 5000 properties for rent and for sale and are experts in supporting older people, those who require adapted homes and people who need help managing their tenancy.  Coastal is committed to providing excellent housing and related services to the people we house by seeking to sustain tenancies and communities, sustaining the local economy with the work we do, and sustaining Coastal as a viable organisation. 

Coastal are exploring new and innovative ways of engaging with contractors as they seek to make themselves a more attractive client in the marketplace, a client with whom suppliers want to work. Their intention is to start this process of engagement with a breakfast event at Coastal’s Swansea HQ at 220 High Street (the Urban Village), SA1 1NW. 

This is an opportunity for you to better understand the client’s future workload in the context of wider work programmes across the Swansea Bay region and beyond.  It is also an opportunity for you to share the client’s tendering philosophy and help to shape the way it does business. This may involve adopting different procurement strategies for different types and values of work as well as different forms of contract. Participants in this event will be expected to actively engage in the morning’s discussions as we jointly seek a better way of doing business. 

In terms of anticipated outcomes from the event these include: 

  • A demonstration that Coastal are trying to understand the contractor’s position and needs, especially at tender stage.  
  • A recognition that one size doesn’t fit all, and that there needs to be a healthier discussion about risk allocation much earlier in the process, both pre-tender, mid-tender, and post-tender.  
  • An explanation of Coastal’s anticipated future workload. 
  • An understanding by suppliers of the client’s expectations e.g. the impact on customers/residents from defects, reasons for fixed price scenarios, honesty around handover dates, etc. 

Further information will be available closer to the event. However, this is the first opportunity to raise awareness of this event and to gauge the level of interest within the market, both local and further afield, to share in and support the client’s vision for a better way of delivering its construction needs. 

How to Book: If you would like to join Coastal Housing Group in helping them to shape the way they engage with suppliers please book your place at this event by emailing CEWales Events  stating your full contact details and the names of all delegates wishing to attend

Title:
Coastal Housing: Dewch I Gwrdd a’r cleient
Lleoliad: Abertawe (eoliad gadarnhau ar gofrestru)
Amser: 8.00  - 10.30am
Cost: Am Ddim

Mae Grŵp Coastal Housing yn Gymdeithas Dai nid-am-elw sy’n gweithredu yn siroedd Abertawe, Castell-nedd - Port Talbot, Sir Gâr a Phen-y-bont ar Ogwr. Mae gennym dros 5,000 eiddo ar gael i’w rhentu a’u prynu. Arbenigwn mewn cefnogi pobl hŷn, rhai sydd angen tai wedi eu haddasu a rhai sydd angen cymorth i reoli eu tenantiaethau. Mae Coastal Housing wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu tai a gwasanaethau cysylltiedig o ansawdd rhagorol trwy gefnogi tenantiaethau a chymunedau, hyrwyddo’r economi leol a sicrhau parhad y Gymdeithas Dai fel corff hyfyw.

Mae Grŵp Tai Coastal Housing yn awyddus i greu perthynas newydd ac arloesol gyda chyflenwyr y Gymdeithas er mwyn gwneud ei hun yn gleient mwy deniadol o fewn y farchnad - cleient y bydd cyflenwyr yn awyddus i weithio gydag ef. Y bwriad yw cychwyn y broses hon drwy gynnal cyfarfod brecwast ym mhrif swyddfa Coastal Housing yn 220 Stryd Fawr (y Pentref Trefol) Abertawe SA1 1NW

Mae’n gyfle da ichi ddod i ddeall yn well beth yw cynlluniau Coastal Housing ar gyfer y dyfodol yng nghyd-destun rhaglenni gwaith eraill rhanbarth Bae Abertawe a thu hwnt. Mae’n gyfle hefyd i glywed rhagor am athroniaeth dendro’r cleient a’i helpu i fireinio ei ffordd o weithredu. Efallai y bydd hyn yn golygu defnyddio strategaethau caffael gwahanol ar gyfer prosiectau o wahanol faint neu o wahanol werth. Ac fe all olygu cyflwyno ffurfiau contract gwahanol. Mae Coastal Housing yn awyddus i bawb sy’n dod i’r cyfarfod brecwast gyfrannu’n frwd i’r drafodaeth er mwyn canfod ffordd well o wneud busnes ar y cyd.

Dyma rhai o’r deilliannau a ddisgwylir o’r cyfarfod:

  • Dangos fod Coastal yn ceisio deall safbwynt ac anghenion y contractwr, yn arbennig yn ystod y cyfnod tendro;
  • Cydnabod nad yw’r un math o drefniadau yn addas i bawb a bod angen trafodaeth iachach ynghylch priodoli risg yn llawer cynharach yn y broses – yn y cyfnodau cyn tendro, ar ganol tendro ac wedi tendro;
  • Egluro rhaglen waith arfaethedig Coastal ar gyfer y dyfodol;
  • Sicrhau fod cyflenwyr yn deall gofynion y cleient, ee yr effaith a gaiff diffygion ar gwsmeriaid/preswylwyr, y rhesymau dros bennu pris sefydlog, gonestrwydd ynghylch dyddiadau trosglwyddo, etc.

Bydd rhagor o wybodaeth ar gael yn nes i’r amser. Y bwriad yn awr, fodd bynnag, yw codi ymwybyddiaeth a chanfod faint o ddiddordeb sydd gan gyflenwyr, pell ag agos, mewn cefnogi a chyfrannu at weledigaeth Grŵp Coastal Housing a’i ddymuniad i sefydlu ffyrdd gwell o gwrdd â’i anghenion adeiladu.
