Technical requirements: UK SBS on behalf of the Contracting Authority (STSC) wishes to establish a framework contract for the appointment of excavation, gritting and road sweeping services.
UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time), (the ‘Regulations’).
STSC intends to award one supplier per lot following the tender process. Once the framework is in place the intention is that call-off Task orders will be raised to cover individual service packages of work. Bidders are permitted to bid for one or multiple lots.
This RFP and supporting Appendix set out details of the STSC site and expectations of any successful supplier.
The STSC site covers an area of approximately 8 square miles, directly located on the South side of the River Tees between the towns of Redcar and South Bank. The site is accessible from the national road infrastructure via the A1085 Trunk Road and the A66 arterial thoroughfare. In addition, the site is also served by a railway station within its boundary, currently with a limited service (2 trains a day) operated by network rail.
On the site there are several operating ventures including, Redcar Bulk Terminal, Tata Steel and British Steel, with STSC providing security services and technologies via a historical contract that was in place before the liquidation of SSI UK.
The site boundary is approximately 13,5 miles (including River Tees border) in circumference and consists of a mixture of wooden bars, palisade, chain link fencing – all in various states of repair and degradation. There are lengths of perimeter where no fence line or demarcation exists.
To support the current business needs, which are to ensure the site is safe for all users and to work towards reducing our COMAH inventory on site by supplying and operating suitable machinery with trained and competent operators and banksmen for excavating, ground scraping, loading, internal skip movement, transporting and off-loading of material around site at minimum cost and in the safest manner.
The work within this scope is to support STSC, note that this contract is separate to South Tees Development Corporation activities. Any requirement for excavations will be supported by STSC and all required and relevant ground testing will be carried out prior to any works commencing.
The scope of service demands flexibility and innovation from the contractor, with efficiency, effectively communicated planning and strategic foresight.
— loading and unloading of fabricated equipment via fork lift trucks, trailers, flatbed trucks or other suitable equipment,
The supplier must supply and manage; operators and equipment to provide a safe, flexible and effective operation and ensure that the environment, health, safety and security are a priority at all times.
The supplier is expected to participate in the STSC daily morning meetings to identify and communicate the daily work schedule and to allow for the completion of planned ad-hoc tasks as agreed, review any H&S issues and the previous day’s performance. It is expected that the contractor will play an active part in these meetings and contribute, based on their experience, suggesting improvements to operations and processes (for example multidisciplinary working/alternative methods etc.) such as:
— general waste bin emptying from Redcar and Lackenby security gates – 2 hours per week (upon request).
Undertake any other reasonable task as required (competence permitting). Work undertaken is to assist in STSC’s objectives which are to keep the site safe for users, protection of the environment, assist in the security measures (bund building), and the reduction of our top tier COMAH status (materials movement, box oxide removal).
