Tender description

Procurement of a Framework Agreement of pavement design and construction administration service providers who will be given the opportunity to tender for contracts to take Pavement Asset Repair and Renewal (PARRs) projects through various stages from preparation of Pavement Asset Repair and Renewal Reports to construction and closeout. TII is funding a significant programme of pavement asset repair and renewal over the next 10 years. While these are primarily delivered through the relevant local authorities, in order to provide resilience in the process, TII consider it appropriate to have a framework of consultants available to assist as required. This framework will be available both to TII and the local authorities where TII is the sanctioning authority. It is envisaged that the framework will consist of up to 15 members. The Framework Agreement has an anticipated duration of 2 years, with an option for the Authority to extend the duration, at its discretion, for up to a further 2 years, in 12 monthly intervals. The estimated value of the framework is 20 000 000 EUR plus VAT. Successful participants will be formed into tender groups of no more than 5 participants. Tender groups will be formed (depending on the number of participants) as follows: — tender Group 1 – comprised of those ranked 1st, 4th, 7th 10th and 13th, — tender Group 2 – comprised of those ranked 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th and 14th, — tender Group 3 – comprised of those ranked 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th and 15th. The Client will begin the call-off procedure for each individual call-off contract by writing to the relevant tender group (the ‘mini-competition participants”). Each tender group will be given the opportunity to tender for schemes on a rotation basis.
