Tender description

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GG&C) (“the participating authority”) require suitably qualified, competent and experienced Consultants to provide a range of Asbestos Surveying and Analytical Services through a framework agreement. The successful Contractors must be willing to play an active and effective role in understanding the needs and requirements of a large and complex building stock and must support the participating authority through the delivery of a comprehensive and demanding package of services. The framework will be split into two parts: Part one will be a ranked framework for routine and emergency work under 5,000 GBP in value. Framework contractors will be ranked in accordance with the overall score achieved following evaluation of all tenders. Where the participating authority intends to call off the framework agreement by submission of an order and the first ranked framework Contractor is capable of meeting the participating authority’s requirements, the participating authority will select the first ranked framework Contractor to undertake the work and supply a purchase order. Without prejudice to the participating authority’s other rights and remedies, if the first ranked framework Contractor is unable or incapable of meeting the participating authority’s requirements (as determined by the participating authority), the participating authority must consider the second ranked framework Contractor for the works and so on, cascading through the framework contractors. Part two, for Work (Services) over 5,000 GBP in value, a mini competition via Public Contracts Scotland Quick Quote will be carried out between all Contractors who are appointed to this Framework on a project-by-project basis.
