Framework for Operated and Non-Operated Plant Equipment and Tools

Caerphilly County Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Caerphilly County Borough Council has announced plans to buy construction and electrical work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £8,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 May 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 31 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £8,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The purpose of this framework agreement is to cover for the provision of annual, seasonal, ad hoc, and long term plant and equipment hire requirements and the purchase of plant and equipment (such as but not limited to Front Wheeled Loaders etc). Hire and purchase encompasses the following service areas “Construction”, “Building”, “Highways and Engineering”, "Traffic Management”, “Winter Maintenance", "Ground Maintenance" and “Other General Maintenance” with and without operators. Delivery of the plant and equipment will be at locations throughout the named participating Authorities, unless otherwise stated by them. This will be specified at the time of order. Further information about the plant type requirements is set out in the Pricing Schedule and Procurement Documents.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
