Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work

Tender description

Powys County Council is offering an exciting opportunity for suitably qualified and experienced contractors in participating in a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of highways and civil engineering works across the County of Powys. The purpose of the DPS is to allow the council to assemble and maintain an approved list of contractors for the stipulated works and to offer a more flexible and responsive procurement. A DPS is similar to a framework agreement, in many ways, but where new bidders can apply to join at any point during the life of the DPS. Bidders are not required to submit tenders in order to join the DPS. All bidders who meet the selection criteria will be admitted to the DPS, and when a contract opportunity arises the council will move straight to the mini-competition phase for that package of works. Contractors must be CHAS compliant (or equivalent) and constructionline registered to a minimum of Level 2 (silver)(or equivalent), with relevant work categories in order to be accepted onto the dynamic purchasing system. The council will also only accept your submission if you have appropriate levels of insurance for public liability and employers liability, or you agree to put these in place before the date of any contract award. The levels required are: — public liability insurance - 5 000 000 GBP, — employers liability insurance - 5 000 000 GBP. Work opportunities shall include but not be limited to: — carriageway resurfacing (and associated works), — footways works, — drainage works, — remedial earthworks, — highway structures works (e.g. bridges, culverts, retaining walls, cattle grids, etc), — highway maintenance works, — flood alleviation schemes, — watercourse improvements, — highway junction improvements, — highway visibility improvements, — highway alignment improvements, — active travel works, — car park works, — footpath works, — fencing works, — landscaping works.
