Opportunity overview

This soft market testing questionnaire has been produced by Manchester City Council's Highways Service and is intended to gauge thoughts and feedback from the industry in relation to the procurement of the TC041 Contract for Proprietary Treatments to Carriageways and Footways. The current TC041 Framework Agreement covers works to both carriageways and footways but doesn't differentiate between treatments that are carried out by mechanical means (machine lay) or by non-mechanical means (hand lay). The Highways Service is now proposing to split a future Framework Agreement for these works into two lots. Lot 1 for treatments by mechanical means (machine lay) to carriageways of area greater than 250m2 and Lot 2 for treatments by non-mechanical means (hand lay) to carriageways of less than 250m2 and footways of any size. Works delivered through the TC041 Contract in the last five years amount to 677,000m2 of microaspahlt on 515 carriageways, 265,000m2 of surface dressing on 65 carriageways and 215,000m2 of slurry seal on 222 footways. Work Packages are allocated by Direct Award on the basis of price and availability; prices being used from the prices submitted at Framework tender stage. This Questionnaire is to enable Highway Services to gauge suppliers opinions regarding this proposal and their interest in tendering for the works.
