A framework of pre-qualified and suitably experienced contractors to
enable participating local authorities and other organisations to instruct
design and construction activities in relation to schools and any other
public buildings. The contracts allocated under the framework may include
refurbishment and/or new build, and may involve single site projects, or
groups of sites, including groups involving more than one authority. The
framework will be divided into lots, to achieve a range of contractor
sizes and abilities in keeping with the anticipated range of projects.
Continuous improvement, collaboration and measurement by key performance
indicators are likely to be features of the framework.
The participating Authorities and other organisations are committed to
contributing to the social, economic and environmental well-being of the
wider community. Accordingly, while the requirement may not be mandatory,
the successful contractors will be expected to consider opportunities to
recruit and train long term economically inactive persons as part of the
workforce delivering this project. Specific requirements will be detailed
within the mini tender documents which will also state whether the
requirement is core or non core.
The participating Authorities are:
Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Bridgend County Borough Council,
Caerphilly County Borough Council, Cardiff Council, Merthyr Tydfil County
Borough Council. Monmouthshire County Council, Newport City Council,
Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Torfaen County Borough Council,
and the Vale of Glamorgan County Borough Council. In addition the Roman
Catholic Arch Diocese of Cardiff, The Monmouth Diocesan Trust and The
Church in Wales Diocese of Llandaff will also have the opportunity to
utilise the arrangement.
Tenderers should note that although the lead authority for the purposes of
this procurement is Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC, other contracting organisations
(as defined in Regulation 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006) in
Wales, such as government departments, agencies, local and emergency
authorities (police and fire), educational establishments, may choose to
use the framework agreement, without creating an obligation on them to do
so. In that event, the contractual relationship will be between the
individual contracting authority using the framework agreement and any
successful contractor.
