Framework Agreement for the Manufacture, Delivery and Assembly on site of Beach Huts on behalf of Cornwall Council and other nominated organisations

This tender opportunity relates to the Council’s preferred option to appoint a single Contractor for the potential manufacture (to a pre-determined design), and the supply and assembly on site of up to circa 450 beach huts across Cornwall. The initial planned requirement is for 203 new beach huts at Bude, Cornwall to be fully installed and operational by July 2016.

However, the Council may, at its dsicretion, decide to appoint more than one manufacturer to the framework agreement, depending upon key factors such as the demonstrable capabilities and capacity of the bidders’ proposals and cost effectiveness etc. A further, circa 250 beach huts, are likely to be required throughout Cornwall over the course of the proposed 4 year framework agreement. The Council anticipates calling off approximately 20 standard huts, of varying dimensions, i.e. small, medium and large varieties, per month from September 2015 to meet the requirement for 203 to have been installed at Bude by July 2016.

Please note: The potential estimated total value of expenditure attributable to the Framework Agreement may exceed the range indicated above, especially if any of the other eligible contracting authorities, as outlined within the ITT, decide to participate to any great extent.
