The Association of North East Councils Ltd trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking to establish a multi-contractor, multi-lot Framework for the provision of a highways surfacing works framework. This Framework offers Contracting Authorities access to Suppliers providing a diverse range Highway Surfacing Works.
The works covered in the Framework have been split in to 18 lots:
1 Asphaltic Concrete
2 Grouted Macadam
3 Surface Dressing
4 Glass Fibre Reinforced Surface Dressing
5 Hot Applied High Friction Surfacing
6 Cold Applied High Friction Surfacing
7 Slurry Seal of Footways
8 Slurry Seal / Micro Asphalt of Carriageways
9 Carriageway in Full Depth Recycling
10 Carriageway Re-tread
11 Captive Shot Blasting – Mechanical Retexturing
12 Hydro blasting – Surface Retexturing
13 Patching
14 Alternative Patching Methods: Hot Applied
15 Alternative Patching Methods: Cold Applied
16 Road Markings
17 Surface Preservation: Penetrative
18 Surface Preservation: Non Penetrative
The value of each lot is determined by dividing the framework value by the number of lots. While individual lots may exceed their calculated value, the total must not surpass the overall framework value.
NEPO intends that the Framework period is up to 8 years with readvertisement before year 3 and year 5, prior to expiry of the Framework term. As such, suppliers which have not been appointed to this Framework will have the opportunity to be appointed to the subsequent framework.
During the period of the Framework, NEPO may issue modifications to the lot structure with the introduction of new lots for highway surfacing works which cannot be foreseen at this time for example innovative techniques/products.
