Attention Contractors - Highland Council Renewing Its Contractors Framework

28th May 2012

The Highland Council is currently in the process of renewing its Contractors Framework agreement which will be used by Highland Council Services for selecting contractors to carry out all construction works up to the value of £50,000.

The Contractors Frame work is changing from £25k to £50k

This new agreement, which will commence on the 3rd September 2012, will in effect cover a three year programme of work but will be re-opened and re-advertised at six monthly intervals to provide the opportunity for new contractors to apply.

Any contractor not already on the list is invited to apply or to get further information.

Replacement of Contractors' Framework Agreement for Construction Works up to £25,000

If you are currently a contractor included on the existing £25,000 Contractors' Framework Agreement, Highland council is writing to advise you of the Council's intention to put a new framework in place.

The current framework agreement will expire on the 2nd September 2012 and is to be replaced with a new framework for construction works up to the value of £50,000.

This new agreement, which will commence on the 3rd September 2012, will in effect cover a three year programme of work but will be re-opened and re-advertised at six monthly intervals to provide the opportunity for new contractors to apply.

As this will be a new framework agreement, all contractors will have to apply to be considered for inclusion. The framework details will be advertised on www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk from 28th May 2012 and it is recommend that contractors register with this website if they have not already done so. Contractors are advised that if they fail to re-apply and meet all the necessary framework conditions, the company will not be eligible to undertake any future works within the new framework agreement.

Applications for the new contractors' framework can be made in the following ways:

By downloading an application pack from www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk
By contacting The Highland Council and requesting a paper copy - telephone 01463 702209 - Monday to Friday 09.00hrs -17.00hrs.
