North Lanarkshire Council are looking to award a single supplier framework to a suitable main contractor for the retrofit of sprinkler systems in high-rise properties across the North Lanarkshire Area.

The framework will be established by asking tenderers to submit proposals for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the sprinkler systems and associated building services to Avon and Clyde Towers in Motherwell, including any necessary works/alterations to existing systems. The works include, but are not limited to, accredited fire stopping where penetrations are made through compartments, boxing-in pipe work, all associated builders work, and the like. Full details are contained in the tender documentation. Additional information: Economic Operators may be excluded from this tender process if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Delivery: Scotland · North Lanarkshire Council Geographical Area
Extensions: NLC reserves the right to extend the framework duration for a further 12 months.Variant bids: not allowed

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Single Supplier Framework for Retrofit of Sprinklers and Associated…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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