Authority: SWANSEA BAY UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD (Central government)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionSwansea Bay University Health Board (“SBUHB”) is conducting a procurement exercise under the restricted procedure (as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (“PCR”) to award two multi-supplier framework agreements (“Contractor Frameworks”) for the provision of Electrical and Mechanical Contractors for the Engineering needs of the SBUHB.
The proposed M&E contractors’ frameworks are intended to embed the principles of partnering and collaborative working in order to modernise the NHS approach to construction projects, as well as deliver benefits in terms of quality, time, and cost.
The frameworks will deliver M&E projects up to 2,000,000 (GBP) net construction works value threshold and should be capable of offering a consistent programme of work to attract market interest.
The Framework agreement will cover the following:
Lot 1 – Mechanical Contractors
Rotational Award
Value Band - Will cover the provision of works up to the value of 2,000,000 (GBP), across the Swansea Bay region.
Lot 2 –Electrical Contractors
Rotational Award
Value Band - Will cover the provision of works up to the value of 2,000,000 (GBP), across the Swansea Bay region.
Bidders will be able to express an interest in respect of Lot 1 and/or Lot 2. Based on previous procurement exercises and soft market engagement, it is expected that companies based in the geographical area will bid against Lot 1 and/or Lot 2.
Each Lot will host a maximum of 3 suppliers, who will be awarded on a ‘rotational’ basis. The supplier who scores the highest will be offered schemes first, followed by the second and third supplier within the Lot.
However, the Framework will offer a flexible approach to supplier selection post-award, whereby the Health Board may utilise the ‘rotational’ award basis or proceed to a mini competition among the awarded contractors. Mini-competition exercises may be undertaken on approximately 5 schemes per annum.
All awards made under the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Contractors Framework are to be in accordance with the NEC4 suite of contracts, which will be managed by the Capital Planning department.
Estimated Total Value:
1.25M (GBP) per year over a 3 year term with an option to extend a duration of 12 months (3 year +1)
