The aim of the project is to produce a framework of pre-qualified and suitably experienced contractors which will enable participating authorities to appoint contractors for construction activities in relation to schools and any other public buildings. The contracts allocated under the framework agreement may include refurbishment and/or new build, and may involve single site projects, or groups of sites, including groups involving more than one authority. The framework will be divided into lots, to achieve a range of contractor sizes and abilities in keeping with the anticipated range of projects. Continuous improvement, collaboration and measurement by key performance indicators are likely to be features of the framework.The participating Authorities and other organisations are committed to contributing to the social, economic and environmental well-being of the wider community. Accordingly, the successful contractors will be required to consider opportunities to recruit and train long term economically inactive persons as part of the workforce delivering this project. Specific requirements will be detailed within the mini tender documents which will also state whether the requirement is core or non core.The Authorities entitled to award contracts under this framework are the Confirmed Participating Authorities and the Other Participating Authorities (as listed above).Three methods may be used by Participating Authorities to award contracts under the framework, as summarised below –1. Direct award by rotation – where the terms of the contract can be established with sufficient precision, contracts may be awarded in turn on a rotation basis, beginning with the highest-scoring contractor in the relevant Lot and progressing to each contractor in order of score achieved. This method will apply only to Lots 1 and 2.2. Mini-tender – Contractors in the relevant Lots will be invited to tender against a range of quality and pricing criteria. This method will apply to all Lots3. Early Contractor Involvement mini-tender - Contractors in the relevant Lots will be invited to tender against a range of quality and pricing criteria on the basis that if successful, they will be appointed at an early stage to work with the Participating Authority to finalise the design and the price. Once design and price are finalised, the contract will not be re-tendered and the appointed contractor will proceed to carry out the works element. This method will apply to Lots 3 – 6 (inclusive).These methods will be set out in more detail in the Invitation to Tender documents.Under Lot 1, only Ceredigion County Council and Powys County Council and other Participating Authorities seeking to award a contract to be performed in Powys or Ceredigion may award contracts. Ceredigion County Council and Powys County Council and other Participating Authorities seeking to award a contract to be performed in Powys or Ceredigion will not be able to award contracts under Lots 2 and 3.
