Published requirement description

The Authority is looking to appoint four Suppliers (Contractors) to enter into a Framework Agreement (Agreement) for the provision of Building, Mechanical and Electrical Minor and Major Works Services across the PSNI Estate.

It is envisaged that the Suppliers (Contractors) will be appointed under Contracts via either an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract or NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract.

The Agreement will be divided into four Lots.

The Agreement will provide the delivery of new and refurbishment construction works projects and may include the provision of building, mechanical and electrical works and all associated specialist subcontracts.

The Agreement will operate in two distinct parts.

Part A – Minor Works

A single Supplier will be appointed to provide the works and services exclusively to each Lot area. In special circumstances (decided upon by the Authority) the Supplier from either Lot Area may be asked to provide the service within the other Lot Area.

Part B – Major Works

Major Works (Over £500k and up to £4.8m) PSNI Estate Wide (Works to be commissioned via an NEC4 ECC).

The successful Suppliers for Lots 1 to 4 will be used to establish an Agreement for the provision of Major Works (Over £500k and up to £4.8m) across the PSNI Estate.

Commissions for Major Works, will be allocated via mini competitions, awarded on the basis of lowest price, between the Suppliers appointed for Lots 1 to 4.

The estimated value, excluding VAT, of the overall Framework Agreement is in the cost range £64,000,000 to £104,000,000, over the four years period of the Framework Agreement.

This is further broken down as follows:

Part A – Minor Works

  • Lot 1 - £2,500,000 to £4,000,000 per annum
  • Lot 2 - £2,500,000 to £4,000,000 per annum
  • Lot 3 - £2,500,000 to £4,000,000 per annum
  • Lot 4 - £2,500,000 to £4,000,000 per annum

Part B – Major Works

  • PSNI Estate Wide - £6,000,000 to £10,000,000 per annum (Conducted via secondary competition)

The estimated value of works to be delivered through the Agreement for Part A and Part B detailed above are just that, a forecast of anticipated spend under the Agreement and whilst it is the Authority’s intention to deliver a reasonable number of Contracts utilising this Framework Agreement, the Authority nor any Client is under any obligation to make any appointments from the Framework Agreement.

The Authority is not under any obligation to award any call off contracts under the Agreement. The Authority is not responsible for meeting any costs incurred by the Supplier should the value of any call off contracts awarded under the Agreement fall short of Supplier’s expectations, The Authority reserves the right at any time to procure similar or identical work outside the Agreement.

The Agreement is not a guarantee of any future workload but demonstrates an intention to utilise the appointed Contractors to provide works where appropriate.

  • “PSNI - 6462255 - PSNI Minor Works Framework Agreement 2026” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
