NRW Next Generation Construction Services Framework Agreement 2020-2024

Projects delivered under the framework Natural Resources Wales undertakes a diverse range of civil engineering works. Our construction works include, but are not limited to, the following: — flood risk management capital schemes and capital maintenance/repair of flood defence structures on main rivers and coastal areas, — Reservoirs Act (1975) compliance projects, — hydrometric and telemetry assets construction and capital maintenance/repair, — habitat management and creation and environmental land and water remediation, — fish passage improvements, — major estates infrastructure (e.g. bridges). The sections below further outline the envisaged service provisions to be delivered in this Lot of the framework, as well as the typical skills/activities required. Construction Works Requirements Although the majority of our work is not overly complex civil engineering, your tender shall demonstrate that you have a high degree of skill, knowledge and experience to enable excellent and efficient delivery. You shall have knowledge and ability in the construction of water industry civil engineering, such as: — flood embankments constructed of earthworks, rock armouring and geotextile materials, — flood walls constructed of reinforced concrete, steel sheet-piling, and precast and prefabricated materials, — flood defence and drainage structures that house pumping stations, penstocks, valves and trash screens, — water retention structures and reservoirs, requiring compliance with the Reservoirs Act, — natural flood management measures, — in river flow measurement structures, such as weirs, — in river fish passage structures, — the construction of features to manage and create a range of habitats, — infrastructure such as simple bridges, — site clearance and demolition, — reinstatement and landscaping, and associated maintenance, — temporary works considerations, including significant water management of river flows and tides, — coordination, communication and consultation with external parties and landowners, including obtaining and complying with consents and permissions. Suppliers shall have personnel at appropriate levels within their organisation who are qualified members of relevant professional organisations, such as the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), in addition to technical and support staff. The following services will be provided under the framework lot: — construction of civil engineering and associated works, — early contractor advice, during feasibility, appraisal and design, — principal contractor role under the CDM Regulations (2015), — undertake various surveys, investigations and assessments to inform project scoping and design and to manage risks, — emergency works, to repair threatened, failing or failed assets.
