In November 2016 the Council issued a PIN for the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) Construction Project (OJEU ref: 391090-2016 (2016/S 215-391090) inviting contractors to a market engagement event in January 2017. The event consisted of a communal project update session and one to one interviews with tier 1 contractors who expressed strong interest in the CWRR project. The Council has considered feedback from these contractors both in questionnaires previously issued to, and completed by, the contractors and the one to one interviews in the development of the intended procurement strategy.
The Council's intended approach is to use the competitive procedure with negotiation to procure a Design and Build Contract (including defects maintenance) likely in the form of an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option C Target Contract with an Activity Schedule.
Please refer to section VI.3 Additional Information for details on the proposed procurement programme, noting that this is provisional and subject to change.
