New frameworks are being launched to streamline the tendering process for €100m in contracts for minor building works across public service bodies including local authorities, the HSE, the OPW, the Department of Education and Teagasc. The contracts will be tendered by the Local Government Operational Procurement Centre (LGOPC).
The frameworks will be tendered from October 2018, with two opportunities for contractors to participate – Minor Building Works Residential and Minor Building Works Commercial. While the scope and complexity of the works will vary significantly, it is envisaged that the average contract value will be in the region of €50,000 for residential works and €100,000 for commercial works.
Applicants may indicate which services, county or region they wish to apply for during the process. Once accepted onto the framework, contractors will be informed of opportunities via the www.supplygov.ie website and can choose to accept or decline projects as they arise.
Building contractors already registered on eTenders should ensure that they have registered for business alerts under the following CPV Codes 45000000-7 Construction Work and CPV Code 45210000-2 Building Construction Work in order to be alerted to the tendering process.
