The Contracting Authority is issuing this UK 4 Notice to Suppliers who wish to tender for the contracting opportunity, their professional advisers and other parties essential to preparing a tender for this contracting opportunity ("the Tender"), and for no other purpose, in connection with the procurement described in the Tender Notice published on the Central Digital Platform (the Platform).

The Procurement is being run under a single stage competitive procedure ("Open Procedure") pursuant to section 20 2(b) of the Act.

As such, the following information provides further details of the Procurement process and evaluation methodology for submitting Tenders.

The proposed opportunity of a new multi-supplier framework for the provision of minor works.

This framework is to be split into the following lots: Lot 1: Mechanical Services Lot 2: Electrical Services Lot 3: Roofing & Fascia's Lot 4: Building and Joinery Lot 5: Civils Lot 6: Exterior Painting Lot 7: Footpath and Carriageway Works including Ducting Works Lot 8: Drainage Works Lot 9: Street Lighting and Traffic Signal Works Lot 10: Residential Extensions under DFG Lot 11: Architects for DFG Projects Lot 12: Fire Door Repairs Lot 13: Door Entry Systems Lot 14: Solar Installations Please note: In the first instance, we will utilise the Minor Works Framework for the appointment of suppliers in relation to works under the selected lots.

This approach ensures compliance with our established procurement processes, delivers value for money, and enables efficient mobilisation through pre-approved contractors.

Engagement outside of the framework will only be considered in exceptional circumstances, such as where the framework is unable to meet specific technical requirements, capacity constraints arise, or there is a demonstrable benefit in doing so.

Any such exceptions will be subject to appropriate justification and approval in line with governance and procurement policies.
