Capital Works Framework Contract 2016 - 2019

Tender description

Warrington Borough Council continued success in promoting Warrington?s status as an economic powerhouse has attracted increased capital investment in highway and environmental based schemes, placing greater demand on staff resources, existing suppliers and contracts. To deliver the present and future demands it is essential to establish an increased base of delivery resource, of Civil Engineering contractors, who can be called upon, with short notice, to deliver competitive priced individual schemes, underpinned by quality processes and management systems. The establishment of a pre-determined select list of acceptable Civil Engineering contractors and pre priced components will enable Council Officers to rapidly compare and respond, to scheme requirements, saving on time and procurement costs. It was anticipated that the introduction of the Capital Works Contract 2016-2019 would typically deliver works to an approximate value of £7 million per year with an overall potential tender throughout of over £ 21 million during its term, subject to continued successful investment and bids. There will be a varying nature of highway and environmental improvement schemes ranging from Town Centre regeneration, traffic signal junction improvements, local safety schemes and cycleway infrastructure works. The Capital Works Framework Contract will be split in to two tender Lots, each of 3 number successful Contractors. Lot 1 financial range will be from £0 - £750k and Lot 2 £750k plus. Contractors will be able to submit bids for either both or individual Lots. Expressions of interest and documentation can be accessed at www.the-chest.org.uk
