## Summary

The procurement process involves Wigan Council, which is seeking to establish a framework agreement for the "AGMA Street Lighting Visual and Structural Inspection and Testing Services." This tender falls under the services industry category and focuses on the maintenance of street lighting and traffic sign structures in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, following the tender period that closed on 12 September 2016. The initial contract is set to commence on 1 December 2016 and will run for two years, with possible extensions for an additional two years. The total contract value is approximately £594,000.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in engineering, technical inspection, and maintenance services related to road infrastructure. Suppliers that can demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and exhibit the capability to undertake visual and structural inspections and testing of street lighting columns and traffic sign poles would be well-suited to compete. Participation in this framework may not guarantee contracts, but being included could lead to further engagements with Wigan Council and other associated authorities.

## Notice

The purpose of this tender is to establish a framework agreement for visual and structural inspection and testing services of street lighting columns and traffic sign poles (or other similar structures) to determine their condition which can be accessed by organisational bodies participatory to the framework. The street lighting equipment will generally be located on trunk roads, main roads, residential streets, footpaths, car parks and other similar areas. Visual and structural inspection and testing shall be applied to steel, stainless steel, aluminium and concrete lighting units. The street lighting units will typically be circular, hexagonal or octagonal in cross section and will typically be 4 metres, 5m, 6m, 8m, 10m or 12m in height. Traffic sign units will typically be circular or box in cross section and will typically be 2,2 metres, 3m, 4m or 5m in height. Occasionally, fold-down street lighting columns or traffic sign poles may be included. Street lighting columns and traffic sign poles will mainly be of the planted root type, however on occasion they will be of a flange plate type. The framework agreement will consist of 9 lots based on indicative, strength and other test methods that are specified in the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP) Technical Report 22 'Managing a Vital Asset: Lighting Supports'. All of the test methods must meet the recommendations of that report and follow the guidance of the British Standards Institute's BS5469 and BS EN 40. The services provided must comply with all the standards and regulations stated in the specification within the Invitation to Tender document. It is the intention to appoint between 3 and 5 providers to each lot (subject to there being sufficient tenderers who satisfy the criteria laid down within the tender process). The services provided under the framework agreement will be made available to members and associate members of the Association of Greater Manchester (AGMA) and other participating authorities and organisational bodies as named within this Contract Notice. The Invitation to Tender documentation contains further details on those organisations intending to use the framework agreement at its outset, with the estimated number of inspections to be called-off from the framework agreement being shown for indicative purposes only. None of the named organisations will however be obliged to procure through the framework agreement. Economic operators should note that inclusion on the framework agreement is not a guarantee that any call-off contracts will be awarded. The framework agreement will initially run for a period of 2 years and will allow for 2 further periods of extension of 12 months each. The maximum duration of the framework agreement will be 4 years. This Contract Notice was submitted for publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on 9th August 2016 and published with reference number 2016/S 155-280427.
