Main Contractors and M&E Services Framework

Descriptions

The aim of this project is to establish a Framework (the Framework) of pre-qualified suitably experienced Contractors (the Contractors), which will enable participating authorities to call off works activities on an 'as required' basis. The Framework will be used to deliver both major and minor capital works projects and may include refurbishment and/or new build and may involve single site projects, or groups of sites. The Framework will consist of five (5) separate lots by discipline/value bands (see section II.2.1 for details)and a range of main Contractors to reflect the anticipated scope of projects. Continous improvement, collaboration and measurement by key performance indicators will be features of the Framework. The participating authorities are committed to contributing to the social and economic and environmental well being of the wider community. Accordingly the successful Contractors will be required to consider community benefits, specific requirements will be detailed within the tender documents, which will state whether the requirements are core or non core. The call off method for all lots under this Framework will be via Mini Competition.Cardiff University as an employer, is committed to paying all employees not less than the living wage as set out by the Living Wage Foundation.Further information is set out in the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) documents see section V.I.3 for details.Suppliers should note that the PQQ documents will be made available to download from midday Monday 2nd March 2015.To obtain PQQ documents, suppliers are requested to register on the following website:https://in-tendhost.co.uk/cardiffuniversity/aspx/Homeexpress an interest in the tender and download the tender documents.
