Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** In March 2023, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) published the Procurement Enhancement Programme procurement strategy, developed to provide an efficient and value for money procurement route for the delivery of road asset maintenance across Northern Ireland. A key output of this strategy is the introduction of a suite of eleven Road Asset Management (RAM) Frameworks covering all roads maintenance and improvement works valued at up to £5 million.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Four Surfacing Frameworks (A, B, C and D) have been developed by DfI to ensure the effective, efficient, and reliable delivery of road surfacing schemes across the Northern Ireland public road network. Each framework will last four years, covering surfacing requirements across a specified set of geographical areas and provide an opportunity for suppliers that have the capacity and appetite to deliver all types of surfacing schemes valued from £50k up to £5m. Each Framework will be divided into Lots in accordance with Regulation 46 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This arrangement has been adopted in order to ensure security of service delivery, preserve competition and encourage participation by SMEs. One surfacing framework is expected to be released every year. There will be restrictions on the number of Lots that an individual supplier can be awarded, both within and across the surfacing frameworks, full details of which will be set out in the procurement documents. The tender period for Surfacing Framework A ended on 11 February 2025 with award expected in April 2025. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. During the transition period between the Interim Term Contracts for Asphalt Resurfacing (ITCAR) and the four surfacing frameworks (A, B, C and D) there is a requirement for an Interim Surfacing Framework (this competition) to facilitate asphalt resurfacing works across six MTC Contract Areas. Under the Interim Surfacing Framework (this procurement), there are a total of seven Lots. There is one Lot (Lot 1) covering all surfacing schemes valued from £750k to £5m across the geographical area covered by the Framework. Multiple suppliers will be appointed to this Lot. The term of the Framework including Lot 1 is 27 months. Call-Off Contracts awarded under Lot 1 are intended to be awarded following mini-competitions. There are six Lots (Lots 2 to 7) each covering all surfacing schemes valued from £50k to £750k which are to be delivered within a defined geographical area. There will be varying contract durations of 15 months and 22 months for Lots 2 to 7 (refer to IFT-Part B). It is intended that a Primary Supplier will be appointed to each of Lots 2 to 7 and following Framework award the Primary Supplier will be awarded a Measured Term Contract (MTC) Call-Off Contract. Subject to performance, it is intended that all Works Orders for schemes valued from £50k to £750k within the Lot contract area will be placed with the Primary Supplier via the MTC Call-Off Contract. For each of Lots 2 to 7, a Reserve Supplier will also be appointed to provide delivery resilience, in line with procedures set out in the Framework. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Suppliers that are interested in this Surfacing Framework will be required to tender for Lot 1 and at least one of Lots 2 to 7. The number of MTC Lots a single Economic Operator may be awarded under this Framework shall not exceed: (i) Primary Supplier – two MTC Lots out of six and (ii) Primary and Reserve Supplier (Combined) - five MTC Lots out of six. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
