Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset County Council is in the planning stage of the "Highways and Rights of Way Structures Framework" procurement process, aimed at replacing the current Structures Framework set to expire in January 2019. This project, valued at £12,000,000, encompasses the maintenance and construction services for approximately 2,300 highway and 3,000 rights of way bridges throughout the South West of England, with the framework agreements anticipated to run until January 2023. An early market engagement notice was published on the 6th of November 2017, inviting suppliers to participate in a questionnaire designed to shape the procurement approach. The deadline for questionnaire submissions is 17:00 on 4th December 2017.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses engaged in construction-related services, particularly those specialising in bridge construction, structural products, and geotechnical engineering. Companies that can provide both major and minor scheme solutions, especially those located in or able to serve the South West region, will be well-positioned to compete. The council's intention to conduct soft market testing indicates a desire for collaborative engagement, which could enhance the likelihood of successful partnerships between Somerset County Council and potential suppliers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Highways and Rights of Way Structures Framework

Notice Description

Somerset County Council (SCC) is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 2300 Highway and 3000 Rights of Way bridges and retaining structures across the county. Highway structures are on or adjacent to the surfaced public highway network whilst rights of way structures are generally more remote from the highway network. Somerset County Council is looking to replace its current Structures Framework that is due to expire in January 2019 with two new Framework Agreements which will run from January 2019 until January 2023. To incorporate both highways structures and rights of way structures, one will be for major schemes and the second will be for minor schemes. Somerset County Council is keen to engage with the market through Soft Market Testing. To do this we have designed a questionnaire for suppliers to complete. The questionnaire is standardised and available to all via the 'supplying the southwest' portal. This is your opportunity to have your say and help shape the procurement process in a way that works for suppliers within the marketplace and therefore, ultimately for SCC. We would be grateful if you could take the time to respond to all aspects of the questionnaire so that we are able to establish an approach that ensures the optimal procurement solution for all parties. However, if you are short of time, a response to the first two questions which relate to the scope for framework agreement 1 and for framework agreement 2 would be appreciated, alongside your contact details, thank you. Please return completed questionnaires via the messaging function on the portal by 17.00, 4th December 2017
