Description

Denbighshire County Council (Lead authority), in association with Flintshire County Council, Wrexham County Borough Council, Gwynedd Council and Isle of Anglesey County Council  wish to renew the current Framework (NWCF2)  and extend its scope to cater for every construction project over 250K GBP threshold and to
incorporate the lessons learned from the current iteration.
The Framework has been a catalyst for engagement and upskilling of the regional supply chain.
Alongside the regional framework, the project’s scope is to also continue improving the current construction procurement practices for
projects valued below this threshold across the region, to ensure consistency, driving the delivery of community benefits, develop
continuous improvement and set new benchmarks for best practice.
A Collaborative and integrated framework, building on the foundations of NWCF 1 & 2
Harvesting benefits and savings from use of technology, improved processes, Collaborative working, supply savings and efficiencies
through fairness, transparency and competitive collaboration on projects.
Maximising local, community and impacts through SME engagement and intelligent quality based selection and clearly defined targets and
benchmarked performance.
Exceeding the performance and outputs from NWCF2, with enhanced value for the Customers, Stakeholders and communities.
Being the “go to” procurement solution for public bodies in north Wales.
_________________________________________________________
It is proposed that the framework will be set up by the six NW authorities by June 2024 and be in place for four years (with a break clause to review after the first two years).
The Framework to also be available to be used by organisations to include, but are not
limited to, central Government departments and their agencies, non-departmental public bodies, devolved administrations, NHS bodies,
local authorities, police, fire service, voluntary sector, charities and private sector organisations procuring on behalf of these bodies. An indicative list of these organisations is attached in the additional information section of this notice.
____________________________________________________
Whilst the exact detail of the anticipated spend is unconfirmed, Government spend projections and extrapolation of the performance of the
NWCF3 indicate that a likely spend of some 600m GBP is anticipated.

Northwest Contractor Framework

Wirral Borough Council (the "Council") as the Contracting Authority in partnership with Procure Partnerships intends to let a Closed North West Contractor Framework (the "Framework"). The Framework will have a maximum duration of four years and may be used to award contracts for the Council's pipeline of works and will be accessible by North West Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities. The Framework consists of Thirteen Lots broadly categorised as Construction Lots (Lots 1-6) / Infrastructure Lots (Lots 7-12) / Demolition Lot (Lot 13). The Council aims to appoint Ten Contractors to each Framework Lot, except for Lot 13 Demolition which will have one single contractor. Lots 1 - 12 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the North West Region UKD). Lot 13 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the Merseyside Region UKD7 only. Where there are ten suitable applicants, the highest scoring ten Contractors for each Lot will be awarded a place on that Framework Lot, and will be ranked from one to ten: the highest scoring Contractor becoming the Rank 1 Contractor, the second highest becoming the Rank 2 Contractor etc. Should a Contractor decline to accept their offered place on the Framework, then a place may be offered to the next highest scoring Contractor (i.e., who may have come eleventh). The Council will also offer one reserve place to Lot 13 Demolition. The Reserve Contractor will be the Tenderer which ranked second. The Reserve Contractor may be brought on to the Framework at any stage during its term where the Council permanently excludes or terminates the Framework Agreement with a Contractor (having won a place on the Framework) for poor performance or otherwise (e.g., insolvency) as provided for in the Framework Agreement. The Reserve Contractor may be brought onto the Framework if the Rank 1 Contractor declines an opportunity from an End User for any reason. As such, the Reserve Contractor will to be required to sign a variation of the Framework Agreement at the point in time that they are invited onto the Framework. The intended number of ten Contractors per Lot may be varied: The maximum number of Contractors awarded a place on each Lot may increase only where two or more suppliers have tied scores, and are jointly placed in the last position (tenth) in respect of each Lot. In such a case, the Contractors who are tied with the same score in the last position for each Lot shall be deemed to be one Contractor for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors for each Lot. The Council will award a Framework Agreement to additional Contractors where their final score is within 0.01 - 1.00% of the awarded last place position only. For the avoidance of doubt, last position for each lot is tenth position. Only one contractor will be awarded a place on Lot 13 Demolition. One reserve place will be allocated to Lot 13. Where two or more Contractors have tied scores and are in any position except for the last (tenth) position for each Lot, the number of Contractors will fill the positions immediately following the position that they have tied for. For example, where two Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy the sixth and seventh positions. For example; where three Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy that sixth position as well as the seventh and eighth position respectively for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors in respect of the Lot in question. If less than ten Contractors meet the selection criteria to get on each Framework Lot, the Council reserves the right to proceed to establish the Framework with less than ten Contractors on each Lot or to cancel the procurement of that Lot. Further where a Contractor's total score (based on the technical and commercial award criteria) for a Lot ranks them within the top ten Contractors but is under 50%, then on the basis that the Council does not wish to compromise on the calibre of appointed Contractors, the Council reserves the right not to offer them a place on the Framework, and to proceed to award that Lot to less than ten Contractors.

Yate Town Council Peg Hill Skatepark Refurbishment Project

Yate Town Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to design and build the refurbishment of the existing Peg Hill Skatepark. The anticipated budget for this project is £450,000 excluding VAT; this value is inclusive of a 10% contingency budget (£45,000). Full procurement description is included within the Peg Hill design brief, however, please find below the project priorities and design specification: The Peg Hill Skate Park refurbishment seeks to achieve the following priorities: a. Provide a 25year life cycle (minimum); b. Use of sustainable, hardwearing materials with long life cycles that are resistant to climate change (extreme wet/ heat) and anti-social behaviour; c. Improved health and safety, areas for weather shade, materials that are low heat conducting d. Low impact on the climate and planet, refurbishing/ reusing/ recycling as much as possible; using materials and practices that are sustainable e.g. low carbon footprint, chemical free, supportive of the local economy and local workforce; e. Value for public investment, a design with low maintenance and risk of repair; f. Expansion of inclusive features e.g. disability, neurodiversity, making space for girls; g. A design suitable for varying abilities and disciplines - beginner to advanced level users, for large and small wheels; h. Refurbishment works must commence on site in Spring 2026 and conclude by 30th September 2026. Tenderers are asked to submit proposals for a refurbishment design of Peg Hill Skate Park that: a. Respond to the priorities outlined in the public survey (Appendix 2, question 7.a within design brief and Project Priorities above. b. Takes place within the current footprint of the skatepark, making best use of the space available, and popular features that could be refurbished/ retained (designs should not include any equipment that requires planning permission, or that exceeds planning and/or safety restrictions, such as permitted development. If post contract signing, design revisions are required to meet planning and/or safety requirements, costs incurred will be the responsibility of the supplier, not Yate Town Council (as per the JCT Design & Build contract clause 2.17.1) c. Retains a below ground bowl feature, identified in a public survey as a high priority; d. Incorporates the most popular design features, identified in the phase 2 public survey (questions 6 and 7, appendix 2 within design brief). Suppliers may also wish to take inspiration from the skate parks identified in question 7, appendix 2 within design brief) e. Emphasises creativity and the importance of allowing for varying levels of interaction with the skateable features, to support varying levels of confidence and ability. The site location and area for works is outlined within the design brief document.
