Scope
Description
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Electrical Services Framework Agreement to support the delivery of electrical works across its estate.
The framework will be used to appoint competent electrical contractors to undertake a wide range of electrical services, covering both minor and major works, as required by the Authority over the term of the framework.
2. Purpose of the Framework
The purpose of this framework is to provide LCRCA with a compliant, flexible, and efficient mechanism to procure electrical works across all Authority-owned and operated properties, assets, and locations.
The framework will support:
Planned and reactive maintenance
Statutory compliance works
Refurbishment and upgrade projects
Capital works and major installations
Framework Structure and Lots
he framework will be divided into two (2) Lots, allowing suppliers to tender for one or both Lots, subject to meeting the relevant technical and financial requirements.
LOT 1 - Minor Electrical Works
Scope of Works
Lot 1 will cover minor and low-value electrical works undertaken across the LCRCA estate. These works are typically reactive, short-duration, or low-complexity in nature and may be instructed at short notice. This will be a single supplier awarded LOT.
Typical works under Lot 1 may include, but are not limited to:
Minor repairs and fault finding
Replacement of sockets, switches, lighting fittings, and accessories
Emergency call-outs and reactive maintenance
Small-scale alterations or additions to existing electrical installations
Testing and inspection of minor works
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), where required
Minor remedial works arising from inspection reports
Works are expected to be undertaken in occupied buildings and operational environments, requiring contractors to work safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
LOT 2 - Major Electrical Works
Scope of Works
Lot 2 will cover major, planned, and higher-value electrical works across the LCRCA estate. These works are likely to involve larger projects, higher levels of coordination, and more complex technical requirements. This will be a multiple supplier awarded framework LOT
Typical works under Lot 2 may include, but are not limited to:
Full or partial electrical refurbishments
New electrical installations
Major upgrades to existing systems
Power distribution upgrades and new supplies
Lighting upgrades (including energy efficiency and compliance schemes)
Electrical works associated with capital projects and building refurbishments
Remedial works arising from condition surveys or statutory inspections
Integration with other building services or construction works
Suppliers appointed to Lot 2 may be required to work collaboratively with other contractors, consultants, and stakeholders as part of wider project delivery.
Estate Coverage
The framework will be used across all LCRCA estates, which may include (but are not limited to):
Office buildings
Operational and transport-related facilities
Public-facing buildings
Tunnel / Marine Operations
Plant rooms, external assets, and ancillary spaces
Exact locations and volumes of work cannot be guaranteed and will be dependent on operational requirements during the framework term.
