Invitation to Tender for Building Statutory Compliance Works, Planned and Reactive Maintenance, and ...

This is a joint procurement exercise undertaken by South Ribble Borough Council, Chorley Borough Council, South Ribble Leisure Company and Chorley Leisure Company (Contract Authorities/CA).

The Contracting Authorities have a continuing requirement for the provision of reactive and planned improvement works across the Authorities portfolio. The aim of this framework is to ensure statutory compliance and efficient maintenance of assets, including reactive repair and maintenance, and planned minor/improvement works that attain a high level of customer satisfaction.

The framework will be broken up into 13 lots. Three bidders will be awarded per lot. The maximum number of successful bidders in each Lot may increase where two (2) or more bidders have tied scores. A Bidding Organisation can only be awarded on a maximum of two lots, except where a lot would otherwise have fewer than 2 (two) successful bidders. If you are bidding for more than two lots please state in your submission your ranked preference of lots (on the return Document 3 CAS); in a situation whereby a bidder(s) score would mean they would otherwise by awarded on more than two lots The Contracting Authority will use this ranked preference list to determine the two lots the Bidder is to be awarded on.

The number one ranked supplier in the lot will be awarded the servicing/call out element of the contract, the other two suppliers will be eligible to compete for higher-value projects throughout the lifecycle of the framework. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to use the second and/or third ranked contractor within the lot for service/call out element if they deem it necessary due to poor performance or capacity issues from the number one ranked contractor. In instances of extreme urgency (i.e. Health and Safety issues) The Contracting Authority reserves the right to Direct Award higher value projects to the number one ranked supplier if deemed necessary.

As part of this open day The Contract Authority will also give a debrief on the tender process and overview of the tender portals (The Chest and The Social Value Portal). Both days will have the same agenda and presentations.
