two.1.4) Short description
NEPO seeks to establish a Framework Contract for Construction Works.
It is anticipated that up to a maximum of 6 Primary Contractors and up to 4 Contingency Contractors will be awarded on to each lot (Lot 10 will be awarded to a maximum of 4 Primary Contractors only) of the resultant Framework Contract. Lots will be categorised in accordance with the project value and the geographical location of the project.
Contractors will be required to tender in accordance with the criteria as stipulated for each individual lots. Contractors will be awarded positions in accordance with the evaluation criteria by applying their tendered ranked combined scores for quality and price application (MEAT).
This Framework Contract offers Contracting Authorities access to Contractors providing a diverse range of Constructions Works, individual projects, or programmes of work including but not limited to:
New Build and/or extensions and/or improvements and/or renovations/refurbishment of:
- Schools
- Libraries and Leisure Facilities
- Civic Buildings
- Historic Buildings
- Universities and Further/Higher Education establishments
- Health care buildings
- Housing
- Commercial buildings
Due to the diverse complexities attributed within the remit of Construction Works it is anticipated there may be a requirement for work to include additional construction disciplinary expertise including civil engineering, infrastructure and demolition works.
This list is not exhaustive and is intended to provide a general overview of the types of works that may be awarded. All works awarded will be at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and in accordance with their internal procedures.
two.1.5) Estimated total value
Value excluding VAT: £800,000,000
two.1.6) Information about lots
This contract is divided into lots: Yes
Tenders may be submitted for maximum number of lots

The contracting authority reserves the right to award contracts combining the following lots or groups of lots:
To encourage a greater diversity of Tenders for the lower value Lots, any Tenderers wishing to bid for Lots 8, 9 and 10 are not permitted to bid for Lots 1 and 2. Subsidiary companies under the same parent company cannot submit bids for Lots 1 and 2 to bypass the restrictions. In the event a Tenderer attempts to bypass these restrictions, their bid will not be considered and will be deemed non-compliant.
