SMT Proof of Concept - Electrical Project Works - Multi Contractor Framework

Portsmouth City Council - the 'Authority' - will be undertaking a procurement process in July / August to establish a multi contractor framework agreement consisting of specialist electrical contractors for the delivery of electrical project works within Portsmouth and the surrounding sub-regional area. The agreement will run for a period of 4 years during which individual call off contracts may be let on a project by project basis.

There will be no upper or lower value constraints in respect of project contracts let by via the framework. However, most works will fall between a value range of ?10k and ?200k with average value estimated from ?80k to ?90k.

Award of the agreement is targeted for November 2018 with commencement immediately following. The framework agreement will be established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following two live projects.

The projects will be let on an individual basis to the contractors who achieve the highest score. Those contractors plus the next ranking contractors up to a maximum total number of 12 will be appointed onto the framework agreement. o Re-wire of Southsea Castle - value ?90k - 3 months work duration o Replacing lighting in Civic Offices Modern Records Store - value ?35k - 3 weeks works duration The Authority is keen to engage with specialist electrical contractors to stimulate market interest, gain market information and obtain feedback in respect of its envisaged tendering & contracting strategy.

In order to gain a level of structured consistent feedback the Authority would ideally like interested contractors to complete and return a feedback form via InTend by close of play 18th July 2018. In the event that contractors only have the capacity to undertake part of the form the Authority will still be keen to receive feedback.

Similarly if contractors would rather provide feedback via a telephone conversation this may also be accommodated. It should be noted that it is solely at contractors discretion on whether they wish to take part in this exercise and should they choose not to it will have no impact upon their ability to tender for inclusion into the framework agreement.

However it is obviously in the interests of contractors to take the opportunity to help shape the future strategy. All public sector bodies situated within the following counties will be able to access the agreement to let relevant works projects either directly or using the Authority to act on their behalf: o Hampshire o Isle of Wight o Surrey o West Sussex o East Sussex An information session will be held at the Civic Offices on Friday 6th July 2018, 11:00 - 13:00.

Key members of the Authority's team will further present the framework concept in detail and will be on hand to field questions from contractors. The Authority would appreciate it if interested contractors could confirm the names and positions of the delegates (max of 2) via InTend correspo...
