Description

Hampshire County Council (the Authority) is seeking to establish a single Contractor Term Service Contract for the Inspection and Maintenance of Structures In and Around Watercourses, to meet the Authority's statutory requirements to provide these works and services, particularly where they form part of the Highways network. Delivery of inspection and maintenance works on watercourse structures are constrained by specific Health and Safety legislation. Where these works fall part of Highways infrastructure the requirements are specified under the Highways Act 1980. Full details of the Authorities requirements can be found in ITT Annex 1 Section 4 where the Scope and Specification is detailed. The contract is valued at up to ?3.5 million and has an anticipated contract start date of 1st May 2024. The initial contract period is 4 years to 30th April 2028 with an optional 2-year extension to 30th April 2030. The proposed works under the contract will be split into two distinct tranches; each tranche will be delivered as follows: o Tranche 1 - the inspection regime, this is split over 2 years, with year 1 requiring a dive team of a minimum of 3 people; then year 2 made up of inspections in confined spaces or requiring robotic vehicles. o Tranche 2 - repairs and maintenance, is delivered by the Authority undertaking repairs and maintenance of Watercourse structures including planned maintenance activities. Contractors may be expected to undertake larger structural and Civil works on Highways infrastructure where the structure is within a Watercourse. It is expected this contract will have a wider use for the inspection and maintenance of structures that are either in or around a Watercourse, that do not fall part of the Highways infrastructure, example being canals and other Watercourse structures where the Authority has a duty to maintain.
