A001 - Framework Agreement for the provision of Legionella and Water Hygiene Management and Control Services

Acivico Limited wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of Legionella and Water Hygiene management and control services.

The framework will be available for use by Acivico Limited in order to support its operations within the West Midlands and Birmingham Area.

The Framework Agreement will last for 4 years.

The framework agreement will be split into 2 Lots as follows:

• oLot 1 - Legionella and Water Hygiene Risk Assessment, Review, Audit and Consultancy Services
• oLot 2 - Legionella and Water Hygiene Control and Maintenance Services

The framework agreement will be awarded to one supplier for Lot 1 and up to 3 suppliers for Lot 2. Lot 2 will then be split in to two call-off contracts covering Non-Housing and Housing and awarded in line with the direct call off / further competition procedures as described in the framework agreement.

Suppliers can tender for one or both lots but can only be appointed to one Lot.

Please note TUPE will apply to this contract and all tendered rates will be deemed to have taken account of the TUPE information provided. The TUPE information will be released to you upon receipt of a signed copy of Appendix 3 - A001 TUPE Confidentiality Agreement. You are advised to fill this in as soon as possible on receipt and return via https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc via the correspondence function.

Successful tenderers appointed to the framework are not guaranteed any works unless and until a call-off contract is awarded in accordance with framework procedures for call-off. However the intention will be to directly award a call-off contract for the Lot 1 services to the successful Lot 1 Supplier. In the case of Lot 2, up to 3 Suppliers will be appointed to the Framework but only two call-off contracts will be awarded split between the Non-Housing and Housing service requirements. These will be awarded in accordance with the procedures for direct award or further competition set out in the framework agreement.
