Original udbudsbeskrivelse
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), acting through Merseytravel, intends to establish a single-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of electrical replacement works, planned and reactive maintenance, lifecycle asset renewals, infrastructure upgrades, testing, inspection, commissioning, fault diagnosis, emergency response and associated specialist electrical engineering services.
The Framework will provide a compliant, flexible and efficient procurement route for the delivery of electrical works across the Authority's operational estate, transport infrastructure and associated assets. The services are required to support the continued safe operation, reliability, resilience and statutory compliance of critical infrastructure, whilst facilitating asset modernisation, network improvements and future investment programmes.
The scope of works may include, but is not limited to, low-voltage and high-voltage electrical systems, power distribution equipment, switchgear, transformers, lighting systems, emergency lighting, standby power systems, generators, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), cable networks, control systems, electrical building services installations, inspection and testing, condition surveys, fault-finding, commissioning, decommissioning and associated civil and enabling works.
The Framework may be utilised for projects ranging from routine maintenance and minor works through to major refurbishment, replacement and infrastructure enhancement schemes across stations, terminals, depots, operational buildings, tunnels, public realm assets, park-and-ride facilities and other assets within the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority estate.
Lot 1 - Electrical Maintenance, Testing and Minor Works
This Lot will provide planned programme works and minor electrical works. Services may include inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations, maintenance of power distribution systems, lighting and emergency lighting systems, control panels, standby power systems, electrical building services infrastructure and associated equipment.
The appointed supplier will be required to provide responsive maintenance support, undertake condition assessments, identify defects and recommend remedial actions to ensure operational continuity, asset reliability and compliance with all relevant legislation, regulations and industry standards. Minor improvement and replacement works may also be commissioned under this Lot.
Lot 2 - Electrical Capital Works, Asset Renewals and Infrastructure Upgrades
This Lot will provide the design (where required), supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of electrical replacement works, lifecycle asset renewals and infrastructure upgrade projects. Services may include replacement or refurbishment of switchgear, transformers, substations, power distribution networks, cabling systems, lighting installations, control systems, standby power infrastructure, electrical plant and associated operational assets.
The appointed supplier will deliver projects ranging from discrete asset replacement schemes to complex infrastructure enhancement programmes across the Authority's estate and transport network. The supplier may be required to undertake surveys, develop technical solutions, manage project delivery, coordinate specialist subcontractors, provide commissioning services and produce all associated certification, documentation and asset information required for operational acceptance and handover.
Both Lots will require compliance with relevant statutory requirements, British Standards, industry codes of practice and the Authority's operational, safety, environmental and security requirements. The Framework is intended to support the Authority's objectives for asset stewardship, operational resilience, sustainability and value for money.
