Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

The Council is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Highways Framework Agreement to support the delivery of highway maintenance, improvement, construction, specialist services, materials supply, plant hire and associated activities across the highway network and related infrastructure. The Framework will provide a compliant and flexible route to market for planned and reactive works and services and will be divided into the following 11 lots: Lot 1 - Road Markings & High Friction Surfacing Lot 2 - Road Restraint Systems Lot 3 - Temporary Traffic Management Lot 4 - Traffic Signals Lot 5 - Multi-Disciplined Lot 6 - Carriageway Maintenance Lot 7 - Carriageway and Footway Surface Treatments Lot 8 - Hire of Equipment (with/without Operators) Lot 9 - Haulage with Driver Lot 10 - Supply of Asphalt Lot 11 - Highways Resource Support The Framework has an estimated core value of £71,550,000 million Ex VAT over its full term. In anticipation of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the Council reserves the right to vary the scope, value and volume of services procured through the Framework. Should additional requirements arise as a result of LGR, the total estimated Framework value may increase to a maximum of £107,325,000 million EX VAT. Stage 1 - Invitation to Participate This will be the PSQ stage that suppliers complete such as their economic and financial standing and their technical/ professional ability. The Council will also ask scored and weighted questions to arrive at a shortlist of a maximum four highest scoring suppliers for each lot to take to Stage 2. Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Final Tenders Suppliers successful from Stage 1 will be invited to submit their tenders which will consist of their pricing, quality and social value methodologies. The values attributed to individual lots are indicative only and do not represent any guarantee of expenditure. Actual spend may vary between lots depending on operational requirements, available funding and any changes arising from LGR. Call-off contracts may include highway maintenance works, specialist highway services, traffic management, supply of materials, plant and equipment hire, haulage services and resource support. Requirements may range from small-scale reactive works to larger planned maintenance and capital improvement schemes. Appointment to the Framework does not guarantee any minimum value or volume of work. Call-off contracts may be awarded by direct award and/or further competition in accordance with the Framework terms and procurement documents.
