DAERA – Forest Service – Repair and Maintenance of Harvesting Machinery and Plant (ID 4274431)

Tender description

Forest Service intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework where call-off contractual arrangements will be awarded in order to support its in-house maintenance operations. The Framework is designed to provide Forest Service with a facility to have over-spill work undertaken which occurs when in-house capacity is not sufficient to meet operational requirements. Please note that as this is a support service for the current in-house Departmental operation, there is no guarantee that work will be required on all manufacturer types or models throughout the duration of the Framework. The majority of work under this contract will not be pre-booked. Therefore, the appointed Contractor(s) will be required to accept work on an ad-hoc basis. Where work has been pre-booked, the Department may need to cancel the booking due to operational requirements at short notice. In these circumstances the Department will not accept any charges for the cancellation.
