Description
Wirral Borough Council (the "Council") as the Contracting Authority in partnership with Procure Partnerships intends to let a Closed North West Contractor Framework (the "Framework"). The Framework will have a maximum duration of four years and may be used to award contracts for the Council's pipeline of works and will be accessible by North West Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities.
The Framework consists of Thirteen Lots broadly categorised as Construction Lots (Lots 1-6) / Infrastructure Lots (Lots 7-12) / Demolition Lot (Lot 13). The Council aims to appoint Ten Contractors to each Framework Lot, except for Lot 13 Demolition which will have one single contractor. Lots 1 - 12 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the North West Region UKD). Lot 13 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the Merseyside Region UKD7 only. Where there are ten suitable applicants, the highest scoring ten Contractors for each Lot will be awarded a place on that Framework Lot, and will be ranked from one to ten: the highest scoring Contractor becoming the Rank 1 Contractor, the second highest becoming the Rank 2 Contractor etc. Should a Contractor decline to accept their offered place on the Framework, then a place may be offered to the next highest scoring Contractor (i.e., who may have come eleventh).
The Council will also offer one reserve place to Lot 13 Demolition. The Reserve Contractor will be the Tenderer which ranked second. The Reserve Contractor may be brought on to the Framework at any stage during its term where the Council permanently excludes or terminates the Framework Agreement with a Contractor (having won a place on the Framework) for poor performance or otherwise (e.g., insolvency) as provided for in the Framework Agreement. The Reserve Contractor may be brought onto the Framework if the Rank 1 Contractor declines an opportunity from an End User for any reason. As such, the Reserve Contractor will to be required to sign a variation of the Framework Agreement at the point in time that they are invited onto the Framework.
The intended number of ten Contractors per Lot may be varied:
The maximum number of Contractors awarded a place on each Lot may increase only where two or more suppliers have tied scores, and are jointly placed in the last position (tenth) in respect of each Lot. In such a case, the Contractors who are tied with the same score in the last position for each Lot shall be deemed to be one Contractor for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors for each Lot. The Council will award a Framework Agreement to additional Contractors where their final score is within 0.01 - 1.00% of the awarded last place position only. For the avoidance of doubt, last position for each lot is tenth position. Only one contractor will be awarded a place on Lot 13 Demolition. One reserve place will be allocated to Lot 13.
Where two or more Contractors have tied scores and are in any position except for the last (tenth) position for each Lot, the number of Contractors will fill the positions immediately following the position that they have tied for. For example, where two Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy the sixth and seventh positions. For example; where three Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy that sixth position as well as the seventh and eighth position respectively for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors in respect of the Lot in question. If less than ten Contractors meet the selection criteria to get on each Framework Lot, the Council reserves the right to proceed to establish the Framework with less than ten Contractors on each Lot or to cancel the procurement of that Lot.
Further where a Contractor's total score (based on the technical and commercial award criteria) for a Lot ranks them within the top ten Contractors but is under 50%, then on the basis that the Council does not wish to compromise on the calibre of appointed Contractors, the Council reserves the right not to offer them a place on the Framework, and to proceed to award that Lot to less than ten Contractors.

Description of how multiple lots may be awarded:
The Framework consists of Thirteen Lots broadly categorised as 'Construction Lots' (Lots 1-6) / 'Infrastructure Lots' (Lots 7-12) / 'Demolition Lot' (Lot 13). The Council aims to appoint Ten Contractors to each Framework Lot (one single contractor and one reserve contractor for Lot 13 Demolition).
A Tenderer may apply for a maximum of three (Construction) Lots across Lot numbers 1-6 and a maximum of three (Infrastructure) Lots across Lot numbers 7-12. A tenderer may additionally apply for Lot 13 (Demolition) on top of any Construction or Infrastructure Lots.
Where two or three (Construction) Lots are applied for they must be neighbouring Construction Lots in value. For example, a Tenderer may apply for Lots 1 and 2, or Lots 1, 2 and 3, or Lots 2, 3 and 4, or Lots 4 and 5, but cannot apply for Lots 1 and 3, or Lots 2, 4 and 5.
Where two or three (Infrastructure) Lots are applied for they must be neighbouring Infrastructure Lots in value. For example, a Tenderer may apply for Lots 7 and 8, or Lots 7, 8 and 9, or Lots 8, 9 and 10, or Lots 11 and 12, but cannot apply for Lots 10 and 12, or Lots 7, 9 and 11.
Across the Framework as a whole therefore; Tenderers may bid for a minimum of one Lot (whether a Construction or Infrastructure or Demolition Lot) through to a maximum total of six Lots where three of these would be Construction Lots and three would be Infrastructure Lots. A tenderer may additionally apply for Lot 13 (Demolition) on top of any Construction or Infrastructure Lots.

Further information about fees
Framework Fees will be included in the Tenderer's Overhead and Profit Fee Percentage plus VAT, which shall be payable by the Contractors awarded a place on the Framework to the Framework Manager as the fee for the management of this Framework. The fees vary across lots and range from 0.5% - 1.8%.
Framework operation description
End-Users will award call-offs on the basis of either:
Direct award, which in line with the Procurement Act 2023, any of the below will be accepted as objective reasoning for a framework end user to conduct a direct award under this framework.
A framework end user may direct award to the supplier that:
Has the highest combined lot score as part of the original framework tender (across both quality and price)
Has the lowest lot Framework Overhead & Profit %
Has the lowest Framework average Hourly Rates
Has the current highest combined lot KPI score (an average of all KPI scores combined)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Time Management (pre construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Time Management (construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Cost Management (pre construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Cost Management (construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Social Value Management
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Client Satisfaction (pre construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Client Satisfaction (construction)
Has the current highest lot KPI score for Client Satisfaction (completion)
Currently working on a site where bringing in a new contractor would be programme and cost prohibitive.
KPI scores will be based on the latest validated results recorded in the Framework's reporting system. Where two suppliers are equally eligible, the framework user shall revert to the original lot ranking from the framework tender evaluation to determine the overall highest rank contractor (quality and price).
Further/ mini-competition based on some or all of the award criteria weightings used to establish the Framework.
For Two-Stage Call-Offs the total Commercial (£) and Technical weighting may be varied by + or - 20%, with further sub-division of Framework weightings permissible. For example, the End-User may specify that the mini-competition criteria will comprise 50% Technical: 50% Commercial or 90% Technical: 10% Commercial or any range in between on the basis of the Framework award criteria being 70% Technical: 30% Commercial.
For Single-Stage Call-Offs the total Commercial (£) and Technical weighting may be varied by any degree provided the weighting of Commercial (£) criteria does not exceed 80%, with further sub-division of Framework weightings permissible. For example, the End-User may specify that the mini-competition criteria will comprise 20% Technical: 80% Commercial.
The commercials (%, £GBP or otherwise) which are stated within the procurement documents to be fixed for the full four year duration of the Framework, submitted in response to this opportunity, cannot be exceeded/increased under the mini competition process.
Award method when using the framework
