Westmeath Framework Agreement for Pavement and Associated Minor Works for National Roads

Tender description

The Contracting Authority wishes to establish and operate a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of pavement and associated minor works for national road schemes. The proposed number of framework contractors will be minimum 3 and maximum 8 (provided sufficient Tenderers qualify for admission to the framework). The Framework Period will be 18 months. The Contracting Authority may, at its absolute discretion, extend the Framework Period by a further 24 months in 12 month increments and a final 6 month period such that the total Framework Period will not exceed 48 months. Public bodies entitled to purchase through the Framework Agreement are the Contracting Authority (Westmeath County Council), Longford County Council and Offaly County Council. Where a framework purchaser requires works to be undertaken under the Framework Agreement, it will do so by way of awarding contract(s) to a framework Participant following a mini-competition carried out as per the ‘call off by competition’ procedure indicated in the Framework Agreement. The number of Works Contracts awarded under the framework in a year is unlikely to exceed 20. Typically, the value of each Works Contract would approximately range from €100,000 to €1,000,000. The values and number of Works Contracts are indicative only and there is no guarantee that this volume of work will be awarded under the framework.
