Technical requirements: Stirling Council, Clackmannanshire Council and Falkirk Council are carrying out an open tender procedure to create a framework agreement covering services and works across their road services teams. The framework will cover services that are currently bought in, either to supplement existing resources or where the Councils do not have the requisite expertise to carry the work out in house.
For Lot 4 tenderers will be evaluated on technical alone with the highest scoring tenderers being awarded a place on the framework. The full 100 % will be allocated to the technical section.
Application of cold in situ recycling, which involves milling the road to a depth of 150 mm, adding a cement based binder, regrading the road, followed by the application of 2 layers of surface dressing to seal the surface.
The retread process involves the surface treatment for roads by recycling the existing surface to a depth not exceeding 80 mm by harrowing and mixing in a specialised bituminous binder. The road is then regraded and sealed with a further layer of bituminous emulsion and surface dressed.
Micro Asphalt surfacing to carriageways shall be laid either 10 mm or 15 mm deep in accordance with the specification document, which forms part of the contract.
There is also the requirement within this Lot for associated works as part of a larger works package and these could include the following:
Lot 2 tenderers will be evaluated on technical alone with the highest scoring tenderers being awarded a place on the framework. 100 % will be allocated to the technical section.
Lot 2 will cover individual road improvement projects under 750 000 GBP. For projects above 750 000 GBP a separate tender will be carried out. It is envisaged that the majority of work packages will be under 500 000 GBP
A goods vehicle operator licensing certificate is required for all lots except Lot 7 (painting of street lighting columns).
If the framework is extended to the full 4 years then it is expected that a further notice will be published in June 2023.
The contracting authority does not intend to include a subcontract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:
Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2361
Under this framework the successful contractors will be requested to contribute to the Councils’ economic, environmental and social objectives.
Based on the successful contractors’ annual spend with each individual Council there will be a requirement to meet the minimum number of community benefits points (as detailed in the ITT).
If you agree to adopt this community benefit approach, are successful in the award of this framework and meet the minimum annual spend threshold of 25 000 GBP you will be required to deliver the community benefits as per the table within the ITT.

Eligibility requirements: A goods vehicle operator licensing certificate is required for all lots except Lot 7 (painting of street lighting columns).

Award value: 24000000
