The Ministry of Defence principally on its own behalf but also on behalf of the bodies referred to in section VI.3), is seeking expressions of interest from suppliers wishing to participate in a multi-party framework agreement for the provision of the aforesaid types of works and associated services at the locations mentioned above and as more particularly described in the PQQ. The Ministry intends to establish a multi-participant framework agreement. The agreement will operate on the basis that orders will be placed (following a mini-tender) and the successful supplier will act as Principal Contractor with single point of responsibility for the management and delivery of a specific project at 1 (or more) MOD establishment(s) located within South West England. The Framework Agreement will be for a period of 4 years, with options to extend for up to a further 3 years, taken at the discretion of the Ministry. Other UK Contracting Authorities (as referred to in VI.3)) with requirements for the types of works and services referred to in this notice and which may be classified as sensitive works or sensitive services within the scope of Directive 2009/81/EC may subject to the exact nature of their requirement (and in particular subject to it falling within the scope of the said directive) and subject to the prior approval of the Ministry, call off the framework.
The successful supplier appointed under each call off from the Framework Agreement, will be responsible for co-ordinating and integrating the activities of their supply chain including consultants, subcontractors and suppliers and performing all tasks necessary to achieve the stated requirements and demonstrate fitness for purpose. The framework agreement will include delivery of such services related to the construction of new buildings and facilities, refurbishment of existing buildings and infrastructure work as the Ministry may require. It is envisaged that detailed design will normally be included for projects procured through the Framework Agreement. Some projects may require the successful supplier to undertake the entirety of the design process, including the development and completion of the full design and all work associated with planning applications. Maintenance of completed projects may be required during a ‘compliance period’ to establish that performance in accordance with anticipated design parameters is being achieved. The specific projects that may be procured under the Framework Agreement cannot be clearly defined at this stage but the principal intention is that it shall be generally available for use for procuring projects up to the approximate value of 12 000 000 GBP at the discretion of the Ministry but there shall be no exclusivity nor any guaranteed volume of work.
