Lot #1This Framework Agreement is for the statutory servicing of Fire and Security related…Renewal

This Framework Agreement is for the statutory servicing of Fire and Security related equipment.

Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) has a duty to maintain fire and security equipment located at all sites on their property portfolio in line with regulatory guidelines.

The purpose of this framework is to employ capable contractors who can carry out both a servicing regime and a responsive repairs service that can cater fully to what is asked of them in these tender documents.

It’s anticipated that there will be approximately 160 sites which will require between one and four servicing visits a year depending on the guidelines set out for each property type. WCBC will appoint Contractors to a JCT Framework Agreement 2016 and works will be let under an underlying JCT Measured Term Contract 2016.

The Framework Agreement will be implemented for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years in annual increments.

Contractors are asked to provide costs for a bespoke Schedule of Rates which shall include commonly occurring items that reflect the Employer’s local requirements e.g. Fire/Intruder Alarm Specifications.

The works in each property will vary depending on property type and department requirements. The scope of work may consist of:

  • Fire Alarm reactive and responsive maintenance
  • Intruder Alarm reactive and responsive maintenance
  • Fire Extinguisher reactive and responsive maintenance
  • Emergency Lighting reactive and responsive maintenance

Large installation works may be required on an ad-hoc basis as and when the need/budget allows.

For electrical works the Tenderer shall be enrolled on either the NICEIC Approved Contractor Scheme or other equally approved scheme.
