Description

TfL has established a pan-London single lot 5-supplier framework to deliver medium to high complexity/value enhancement and renewal capital projects and programmes and associated works and services as outlined in this Contract Notice and more particularly described in the procurement documents, for use by TfL and other contracting authorities identified in this Notice. All framework contractors will be invited to mini-compete for high complexity/value projects. The tenderers that submitted the 3 most economically advantageous tenders will also be directly allocated medium complexity/value projects by TfL at the Framework commencement. These will be equally distributed between the 3 contractors, and annually thereafter. Performance against KPIs will affect future annual allocation of work.

Total Quantity or Scope

This framework relates to delivery of enhancements and renewals capital projects and programmes and associated works/services. Works/services will be instructed via call-off contracts to construct new or to enhance, renew, strengthen or undertake other interventions to highway and surface structures infrastructure assets under the control of TfL or other ‘Highway Authorities’ in London pursuant to relevant highways legislation. Projects will range in complexity and may include but are not limited to: • Highway infrastructure • Highway bridges • Road tunnels • Structures associated with highways • River assets TfL will identify high complexity/value works (Level 2 Works) or medium complexity/value works (Level 1 Works) using a risk and complexity assessment. Preliminary input activities (Level 0 Works) will be standalone professional services works. Level 0 Works /Services – Preliminary Input Activities These activities are typically professional services commissions for early contractor input to help inform/deliver the design and planning of construction works. Preliminary Input activities may include: • Reviews and optimisation of design to assure constructability • Schedule advice and optimisation • Cost advice, optimisation and estimating • Risk identification, assessment and risk minimisation strategy advice • Stakeholder management advice • Health, safety and environmental input • Optimising design and construction quality advice • Optimising reporting and communications advice • Delivery and advice of appropriate surveys and investigations all from the perspective of an experienced civil engineering contractor. Level 0 Works/Services will be standalone call-off contracts and will be awarded by TfL on either a rotation basis, directly awarded or via mini-competition across all framework contractors. Other contracting authorities (as referred to in Section VI.3) may award Level 0 Works/Services via mini-competition across all framework contractors. Level 1 Works – Medium Complexity and Value Works Level 1 Works are construction schemes, which may also include design development from a range of design maturity starting points, for projects of medium complexity and risk and generally have an estimated value of less than £25m. TfL intends to direct allocate Level 1 Works throughout the duration of the framework to the framework contractors that submitted the 3 most economically advantageous tenders (“Core Contractors”). To achieve this, TfL will divide it’s requirements for Level 1 Works into three roughly equal packages at framework start and on an annual basis thereafter and distribute to the Core Contractors accordingly, together with a mechanism to allocate new Level 1 Works or reallocate based on performance (evaluated against a suite of key performance indicators) together with the right for TfL to award Level 1 Works via mini-competition across all framework contractors. In the event of the insolvency of a Core Contractor, the framework contractor that submitted the 4th most economically advantageous tender will be next in line to be appointed as a Core Contractor. Other contracting authorities (as referred to in Section VI.3) may award Level 1 Works via mini-competition across all framework contractors. Level 2 Works – High Complexity and Value Works Level 2 Works are construction schemes, which may also include design development from a range of design maturity starting points, for projects of high complexity and risk and generally have an estimated value which is equal to or greater than £25m. Level 2 Works will be awarded by TfL or other contracting authorities (as referred to in Section VI.3) via mini-competition. Additional information: The values in Section II.1.5 represent the maximum estimated value of works and/or services anticipated to be awarded under the framework. The estimated total value range may be 600,000,000 to 800,000,000 GBP.
