Notice Description
Gwynedd Council and Isle of Anglesey County Council are preparing to procure a new Structures & Coastal Maintenance Framework under the NEC4 suite of contracts. The Framework will support the routine, reactive, planned, and emergency maintenance of a wide range of structural and coastal assets across both counties. To engage with the market and ensure the framework design is realistic, deliverable, and aligned with contractor capacity, the Authorities will be holding a two-day pre-market engagement event, where suppliers can book individual 1:1 sessions with the project and procurement teams. The engagement aims to: Present the proposed framework structure; Share early details on the scope of works, NEC4 contract approach, and call-off mechanisms. Discuss selection methods, including direct award and mini-competition. Obtain market feedback on risks, specialist capabilities, resource availability, pricing approaches and constraints (including marine, tidal and difficult-access works). Understand contractor capacity for emergency response and rapid mobilisation. This engagement will help refine the tender documents prior to the Contract Notice being published. The engagement is suitable for contractors with experience in any of the following: Structural maintenance and repair Marine and coastal engineering Geotechnical engineering (including difficult-access works) Highway structures and emergency/reactive maintenance Marine access, tidal working and temporary works Civil engineering in constrained or sensitive environments SMEs are encouraged to participate. The two-day event will consist of pre-booked 1:1 sessions.
