A9 Dualling: Advance Works Framework Agreement

Tender description

Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland identified a requirement to appoint suitably experienced contractors to perform various ancillary works in the vicinity of the A9 between Perth and Inverness, in advance of the A9 Dualling Schemes. It has been concluded that this requirement would be best met through a multi-supplier framework agreement over a 4 years period, whereby works of varying size, value and complexity could be individually called-off as required. To accommodate the various work types, the framework will be divided into lots: Lot 1 (works up to GBP 250 000 excluding piling); Lot 2 (works between GBP 250 000 and GBP 2 000 000 excluding piling); and Lot 3 (piling works up to GBP 350 000). Lot 1: Lot 1 Lot 1 will include for individual work packages up to a value of GBP 250 000. Such work packages may include, but are not limited to, site clearance, tree felling, property demolition, access tracks, lay-bys, hard-standings, fencing, ducting, drainage, retaining walls, ground works, utility diversions, waterway diversions, footpath/cycleways, culverts, landscaping, signage and minor road or junction construction. Lot 1 excludes piling works. Work packages may be called-off from the framework agreement over its 4 year period. It is intended that call-offs shall be on the basis of mini-competitions. Lot 2: Lot 2 Lot 2 will include for individual work packages with a value greater than GBP 250 000, up to GBP 2 000 000. Work activities may include, but are not limited to, site clearance, tree felling, property demolition, access tracks, lay-bys, hard-standings, fencing, ducting, drainage, retaining walls, ground works, utility diversions, waterway diversions, footpath/cycleways, culverts, landscaping, bridge works, signage and minor road or junction construction. Lot 2 excludes piling works. Work packages may be called-off from the framework agreement over its 4 year period. It is intended that call-offs shall be on the basis of mini-competitions. Lot 3: Lot 3 Lot 3 will include for individual work packages up to a value of GBP 350 000. Work activities will primarily be sheet piling works, but may be extended to other piling or ground works. Work packages may be called-off from the framework agreement over its 4-year period. It is intended that call-offs shall be on the basis of mini-competitions.
