## Notice

Cardiff University is looking to establish multiple Contractors Frameworks covering Projects and Minor Works.

The University has a diverse property portfolio ranging in age with a mixture of in-house and external contractors currently undertaking reactive and minor works maintenance activities across the Fabric, Mechanical & Electrical trade disciplines.

Suppliers will be commissioned to undertake planned "Minor Work" packages on behalf of the Estates & Campus Facilities Teams and the lotting structure is expected to be: Lot 1 - Mechanical GBP10,000 - GBP200,000 3 Contractors (1 reserve) Lot 2 - Electrical GBP10,000 - GBP200,000 3 Contractors (1 reserve) Lot 3 - Fabric GBP10,000 - GBP200,000 3 Contractors (1 reserve) Lot 4 - Combined Works (all disciplines above) GBP10,000 - GBP200,000 3 Contractors (1 reserve) Where multi-trade (Combined) works are delivered the contractor will assume the role of Principle Designer & Principle Contractor under the CDM Regulations.

The works may be in any location in around Cardiff University premises.
