Description
Thames Water Utilities Limited is establishing this Framework as a two lot, multi-supplier framework agreement for the delivery of Sewer rehabilitation, and associated CCTV and Cleaning works. The Framework will be procured using a competitive flexible procedure. General operation of the Framework - as per tender documents No supplier is guaranteed any minimum volume or value of work under the Framework. Call-off contracts will be awarded either: • through further competition between all appointed Framework suppliers within a Lot; or • via award directly to a supplier on a proportional allocation basis For each call-off, Thames Water Utilities Limited will issue a call-off tender pack setting out: • the initial scope of works, • project-specific requirements and constraints, • pricing approach and assumptions, and • evaluation criteria. Tenderers will be required to submit both a technical and commercial proposal. Contracts will be awarded to the tenderer submitting the most advantageous tender in accordance with the criteria set out in the call-off documentation. Call-off contracts will be let using the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short form Contract (ECSC) for Lot 1 and, NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option B (priced contract with a bill of materials) or Option D (Target Costs contract with a bill of materials). Pricing mechanism At the framework award stage (ITN), tenderers will be required to submit a Framework Schedule of Rates, setting out their proposed: • labour rates, • plant and equipment rates, • daywork rates, and • fees These rates will form the baseline pricing structure for all future call-off contracts under the Framework. At call-off stage the rates agreed within the framework contract will form the maximum rates permissible for call off contracts under the framework. Call off contract pricing will be established via a request for proposal process under the framework.
