Framework Agreement for Pavement and Associated Minor Works on National Primary and National Secondary Roads in Co. Donegal

Description

The Contracting Authority wishes to establish and operate a multi-supplier Framework Agreement (“the Framework Agreement”) for the provision of pavement asset repair, renewal and associated minor works for national road schemes. The proposed number of framework contractors (“Participants”) will be minimum 3 and maximum 8 (provided sufficient tenderers qualify for admission to the framework). The Framework, if established, shall operate for a period (“the Framework Period”) of 24 months and the Contracting Authority reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the Framework Period by a further 24 months in 12 months increments such that the total Framework Period will not exceed 48 months. The indicative target timetable is that the framework may be awarded in Q4 2025. Works Contracts will subsequently be awarded on an as required basis. The public body entitled to purchase through the Framework Agreement is: • The Contracting Authority conducting this competition. Where the Contracting Authority requires works to be undertaken under the Framework Agreement, it will do so by way of awarding contract(s) (“the Works Contracts”) to a framework Participant following a mini competition carried out as per the ‘call off by competition’ procedure indicated in the Framework Agreement. Detailed technical requirements will be set out for each mini-competition for each Works Contract. The number of Works Contracts in a year is unlikely to exceed 10. Typically, the value of each Works Contract would approximately range from €350,000 to €3,000,000. The values and number of Works Contracts are indicative only and there is no guarantee that this volume of work will be awarded under the framework. Moreover, notwithstanding the establishment of a Framework Agreement, the Contracting Authority may procure the work in other ways and the Contracting Authority does not guarantee that any work will be procured under this Framework Agreement
