This tender, identified with the title "Coastal Engineering Minor Works Framework Agreement: Southern Coastal Group and SCOPAC," falls under the construction work for water projects category. The tender period ends on 12th November 2021, with the framework set to commence on 4th April 2022 and lasting until 4th April 2026. The total estimated value of the framework is approximately £6 million, divided into two lots focusing on General Coastal Civil Engineering Works and Specialist Beach Management Works, making the opportunities accessible to various contracting authorities across several counties including Hampshire, Dorset, and Sussex. This framework presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses engaged in civil engineering, particularly those specialising in coastal and marine projects. Contractors with expertise in earthmoving, dredging, along with general construction works related to coastal defence and flood control, would be well-positioned to compete. The framework format allows for flexible contracting options, including mini-competitions and direct awards, potentially accommodating both large enterprises and smaller specialised firms looking to expand their footprint in public sector projects within the region. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council ('the council') on behalf of the Southern Coastal Group (SCG) and SCOPAC (the Regional Coastal Group for central southern England), is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors for inclusion onto a multi-contractor Coastal Engineering Minor Works Framework Agreement. The Council is aiming to commence the framework on 4th April 2022 and will run for a period of four years, with no option to extend. The framework will comprise of 2 lots. Lot 1 is concerned with the provision of General Coastal Civil Engineering Works and Lot 2 is concerned with the provision of Specialist Beach Management Works. Contractors may apply in respect of 1 or both lots. Each framework lot will be made up of a primary tier of 4 contractors and a secondary tier of 2-3 contractors. The secondary tier will primarily be used on a contingency resource basis. The framework will be available to all current and future SCG and SCOPAC members who are classified as Contacting Authorities. In addition, the framework will also be accessible to all contracting authorities situated within the counties of Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex, East Sussex, Isle of Wight, Kent, Somerset and Wiltshire. The value of the framework across both lots is estimated to be in the region of PS6million over four years. Based upon previous demand information it is likely that 70% of the estimated value will be procured via Lot 1 and 30% via Lot 2, however this may change significantly year on year due to the dynamic nature of the coastal environment. This is based on the known requirements of SCG and SCOPAC members. In the event of further schemes or take up by other authorities across Southern England, the total value of the framework could increase to PS9million. The average value of works called off via the framework for both Lots by SCG and SCOPAC is likely to range from PS20k to PS150k. However, there is also likely to be commissions below PS20k and on occasion in excess of PS500k, although no upper or lower value constraints shall apply. Once established, contracting authorities will have a variety of call-off mechanisms and contracting options available for use which include for both mini-competition and direct award options. Call-off contracts will be let using either the NEC4 PSC or TSC in either the long or short form and with the choice of all options as proportionate and relevant to the services which are being commissioned. Low value, non-complex works may also be awarded via the standard purchase order terms of the particular contracting authority commissioning the works. The framework will be established using the Restricted Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). The council anticipates shortlisting 6-7 contractors for each lot from assessment of returned Supplier Selection Questionnaire submissions who will then be invited to tender.
