Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has gone out to tender with a multi million pound contract to put a Framework Agreement in place for the supply of minor works/civils and associated services during AMP7.
Welsh Water needs to put in place a new agreement to replace the current Framework Agreement which is split into Lots based on services (trades) and by geographical area. The water company is now proposing to move away from the current model and put in place a framework split by geographical area with all contractors being capable of providing all the services, (multi-trade solution).
The agreement is intended to ensure that the building fabric and building services of Welsh Water’s operational assets and sites are maintained in a safe and efficient manner. The contract, which will cover both pre-planned and reactive building maintenance, is being tendered in the following Lots:
- Lot 1: North Wales — West
- Lot 2: North Wales — East
- Lot 3: Hereford and Mid Wales
- Lot 4: South Wales — West
- Lot 5: Swansea
- Lot 6: South Wales — East
Anticipated contract start date is 3rd July 2019 ending on 2nd July 2021. Following the initial 2 year term, there will be an option to extend for a further 2 years at 1 year intervals.
Welsh Water is looking to appoint up to 18 suppliers to the framework agreement.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 28th May 2019, followed by 10th June as the estimated date of dispatch of invitations to tender or to participate to selected candidates.
