P2326 – Raamcontract voor diverse drainage-werkzaamheden

Birmingham City Council (the "Council") wishes to establish a framework for the provision of miscellaneous drainage works. The framework will commence in September 2026 and will be in place for a period of 4 years. Contracts called-off from the framework may extend beyond the expiry date of the framework. A maximum of 4 Providers will be appointed to the framework. Calling-off from the Framework - There are two routes which the Council can utilise to award Call-Off Contracts for the works required, either calling-off without competition or by conducting a further competition. - Call-off without competition - The provider ranked first will be approached to confirm if they are able to meet the Council's timescales and confirm their costs to deliver the works. If they are able to do so, they will be awarded the Call-Off Contract. If they cannot fulfil the requirement the provider ranked second may then be approached and so on. The costs given must be based on the prices submitted as part of the provider's Tender when they joined the framework. - Further competition - All the providers of the framework will be invited to tender for the works. During a further competition, providers may submit more competitive pricing than the pricing submitted as part of the provider’s Tender when they joined the framework. Overview of the Opportunity The Council has adopted the Infrastructure Conditions of Contract Measurement Version 2011 based on the ICE Conditions of Contract 7th Edition together with amendments included (004 attached) within that document by the Council for the purposes of this Framework Agreement. All future call offs under this framework agreement will be done so under the terms and conditions within this document.
