Offaly County Council (OCC) Framework Agreement for Pavement and Associated Minor Works for National, Regional, and Local Roads

Tender description

The Contracting Authority wishes to establish and operate a multi-supplier Framework Agreement (“the Framework Agreement”) for the provision of pavement and associated minor works for national, regional and local road schemes. The proposed number of framework contractors (“Participants”) will be up to twelve (provided sufficient tenderers qualify for admission to the framework). OCC reserves the right to include more than twelve if considered appropriate. The Framework, if established, shall operate for a period (“the Framework Period”) of 24 months. Offaly County Council may extend the Framework Period for additional 12 month periods (up to a maximum total of 48 months). The indicative target timetable is that the framework may be awarded in Q2 2022. Works Contracts will subsequently be awarded on an as required basis. Where an Employer requires works to be undertaken under the Framework Agreement, it will do so by way of awarding contract(s) (“the Works Contracts”) to a framework Participant following a mini-competition carried out as per the ‘call off by competition’ procedure indicated in the Framework Agreement. Detailed technical requirements will be set out for each mini-competition for each Works Contract. The number of Works Contracts in a year is likely to exceed 10. Typically, the value of each Works Contract would approximately range from €30,000 to €500,000. The values and number of Works Contracts are indicative only and there is no guarantee that this volume of work will be awarded under the framework. Offaly County Council reserves the right to award contracts with a larger and smaller value under the framework.
