Additional Information

The City and County of Swansea (‘the Council’) invites Tenders for the purpose of establishing a Framework Agreement for certain Works (‘the Works’), more particularly described in the Specification. The Council’s intention is to enter into a Framework Agreement with 10 Contractors.

A further 5 Framework Contractors will be appointed on to a reserve list; unless fewer than this number of tenders are received or do not pass the award stage. The Framework Contractor will be expected to be available to receive work at any given time the Council intend allocating work.

The reserve list of Framework Contractors will be used to replace poor performing Contractors removed from the Framework. The reserve list of Framework Contractors will be ranked following evaluation of their Framework Tender Submissions.

The reserve list will also be used to allocate additional works within the Framework at times of high output, where for the Framework Contractors are at full capacity and unable to take on further work.
