Description

ESPO is working on behalf of Leicestershire County Council to undertake a procurement process to appoint up to a maximum of four suppliers, one of which will be awarded the contract to assist with the undertaking of surface dressing works to be carried out on Leicestershire County Council highways during the spring/summer season of 2021 (and by mutual agreement and extension of the contract in seasons 2022, 2023 and 2024).

The Suppliers must offer the following:

1) a reliable source of intermediate and premium grade binder

2) the hire of two storage tanks, each with a minimum capacity of 45,000 litres

3) the hire of two spray tankers, each with a carrying capacity of 16,000 litres

4) the provision of limited technical expertise as and when required

The framework will run for an initial period of 1 year with an option to extend for a further period or periods up to a total of 3 years, in 12 monthly increments, taking the contract term to a maximum of 4 years.

Lot 1 - Supply of binder, storage tanks and spray tankers to LCC

Leicestershire County Council (LCC) effectively seeks a multi supplier framework (up to a maximum of four) to award a single supplier to assist with the undertaking of surface dressing works during the spring/summer season (mid-April -mid-October), by offering a reliable source of binder (supply and delivery), the hire of tanks in which to store it, the hire of tankers (vehicles) with which to lay it and the provision of advice and expertise as required.

Lot 2 - Supply of binder, storage tanks and/or spray tankers to eligible public bodies throughout the UK

Tenderers bidding for lot 1 will have the option to 'opt' in or 'out' of lot 2. The suppliers not awarded to LCC's surface dressing season will act as contingency suppliers to LCC and by opting 'in', will be able to supply goods and or/services within the scope of lot 1, to eligible public bodies throughout the UK via a further competition only.
