Education Authority - Dynamic Shortlisting System - Civil Engineering Works (DSS6-CIVIL) - New Applications

Tender description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DYNAMIC SHORTLISTING SYSTEM (DSS) (DSS6-CIVIL) CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS. The purpose of this application is the establishment of a List of Civil Engineering Contractors capable of delivering a wide range of Civil Engineering or Civil Engineering related (CWPs) within the education sector throughout the Education Authority's geographic area. This DSS is limited to CWPs with an estimated value of below £2,000,000. The DSS is open for new entrants and will remain open for successful entrants to reapply to additional Cost Bands throughout the duration of the DSS. This DSS will have 3 Cost Bands as follows: A) Contractor permitted to work on projects with a maximum value of £30K B) Contractor permitted to work on projects with a maximum value of £500K; C) Contractor permitted to work on projects with a maximum value of £2M; Contractors need only apply for the highest Cost Band they are interested in. Granting of a Passport for a particular cost band automatically entitles that contractor to all lower value cost bands eg a successful application for Cost Band C grants a Passport for Cost Bands A and B. There is no limit to the number of Cost Bands an individual contractor can be granted a Passport for. Once established those Economic Operators on the DSS will be randomly rotated. Expressions of Interest requests will be issued to all Economic Operators for individual projects. A maximum of 6 Economic Operators will be invited to tender for individual or 'bundles' of Civl Engineering projects based on their position on the rota in relation to all valid Expressions of Interest received. All Economic Operators invited to tender move to the bottom of the rota order prior to publication of the next Expression of Interest opportunity. See Document 1 - Memorandum of Information for full details on the operation of the system.
