Electrical Maintenance, Servicing, Repairs and Small Works Services- CPA/SPU/2510

This is a Contract Award Notice. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) is invited contractors to provide Electrical related services at both the PCC's and Cheshire Fire Authority (CFA’s premises. (This excludes the Force Headquarters at Winsford, as this is subject to Facilities Management under a PFI Contract). The Contractor will be required to provide cyclical servicing, maintenance work, minor works and repairs which could be on a routine or call-out basis and ad-hoc new work/project work. The ad-hoc new work / project work jobs will not exceed £50k value per job. Any Electrical new/project works above £50k will be progressed outside of this contract and subject to separate competition. The PCC/CFA reserve the right to elect to procure ad-hoc/project works below £50k separately too, should the circumstances require that. The Contractor will be required to provide a 24/7/365(366) service and offer a reactive maintenance and repair service within 3 hours (for custody) and 4 hours (all other sites) for all emergency work. Any ad-hoc new work/jobs will be called off as and when required. Only 1 contractor will be appointed to undertake all the work required as part of this contract – this will include: Cyclical, planned and reactive maintenance including Fire Alarms, Emergency Lighting, Lightning Protection, Fixed Wire Testing, PA Testing, Gas Suppression, Fan Cleaning. Out of hours cover and ad-hoc new small works/project works up to £50k The PCC has considered the option to split this work into smaller Lots – but based on the responses to the tender last time when all bidders bid for all lots, and SME’s participated and indicated their ability to service the whole area, this is being tendered as a single lot. Additionally new/project works required over the previous 5 years only numbered two projects to be competed across a competitive lot, so a decision has been made to include provision for such works up to a £50k limit within the contract. Separate contracts will be awarded by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) acting for itself and Cheshire Fire Authority (CFA). It is the intention to establish a contractual relationship with one Contractor, to deliver the requirements of this contract. All work will be subject to Purchase Orders, which will be raised against separate finance systems for the PCC and CFA, invoicing will be to both organisations separately for their respective buildings.
