Engineering works and construction works

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 7 000 000 GBP per year with an overall potential tender throughout of over 21 000 000 GBP 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 2 tender Lots, each with a maximum of 3 Contractors. Lot 1 financial range will be from 0 — 750 000 GBP and Lot 2 750 000-GBP plus. Contractors will be able to submit bids for either both or individual Lots. Access to the tender documents can be obtained at www.the-chest.org.uk
