Published requirement description

NRW is seeking to award a Framework to suitable SME contractors for minor Works and River Channel maintenance. The framework will be split into 2 lots as shown below:

Lot 1 – Minor Works

A civil engineering Lot for new minor works and the maintenance, repair and improvement to existing structures, typically in water environments, but not exclusively.

Lot 2 – River Asset Maintenance

Works will include in-channel vegetation clearance and recurring maintenance works that relate to flood risk and in-river obstruction management.

Maintenance of these riparian assets is essential to ensure NRW fulfils its statutory objectives to protect the public and enhance the natural environment, whilst complying with health, safety and environmental legislation and best practice.

CPV: Civil engineering support services · Flood-defences maintenance works · Flood-prevention works · River regulation and flood control works · Riverbank protection works · Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 60
  • Price: 40
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Minor Works & River Asset Maintenance Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 21 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
