## Summary

The procurement process for the "Cableways O&M and Inspection services" tender has been initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, with the contract period commencing on 27 September 2021 and concluding on 28 February 2022. This project falls under the category of mechanical and electrical engineering services, with a total contract value of £82,200. The procurement method utilized is selective, via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 6 September 2021, and the tender's award was published on 29 September 2021, signalling the completion of this stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical and electrical engineering, particularly those experienced in inspection and maintenance services. Companies well-suited to compete include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver high-quality service within the engineering sector. The potential for further work, such as a possible third phase of inspection for outstanding sites, also brings additional scope for ongoing contracts, contingent upon previous performance and budget availability.

## Notice

The scheme will undertake the inspection, servicing and provision of operating and maintenance information for identified sites and also completed specified works at certain sites including the installation of main cable release devices where not fitted and the de-roping of some sites which are being withdrawn from use. The scheme objective is to facilitate the return to operational use of the identified sites by ensuring the sites are safe to operate and have the required documentation to support their future use. A possible third phase may be undertaken with the inspection of the remaining cableway sites (a phase 3). This phase will remain unscoped but will form part of the evaluation. This phase will only be awarded to the successful Service Provider of Phases 1 and 2 subject to good performance and budget availability. It will be down to the Clients discretion to award this extra segment of work. This would push the end date back to 30 April 2022. End date currently set as 28 February 2022.
