Oxfordshire County Council Tender

Oxfordshire County Council (occ) Is Designated A Lead Local Flood Authority (llfa) Under The Flood And Water Management Act, 2010. As Such It Has Powers And Duties Relating To “local” Sources Of Flooding, These Are Flooding From Surface Water, Ordinary Watercourses And Groundwater. The Flood Risk Management (frm) Team (with The Planning, Environment And Circular Economy Directorate) Carries Out These Functions Within Occ, Working In Partnership With The District And City Councils Alongside Others. This Framework Will Be Utilised By Occ As The Contracting Authority, But Parish, Town, City And District Council’s Within Oxfordshire Will Also Be Able To Call Off From The Framework With Prior Agreement And Arrangement From Occ. Tenderers Are Invited To Tender For The Provision Of The Services Described At Appendix 1 Specification For A Term Of 3 Years With An Option For The Council To Extend For Up To 3 Years, Anticipated To Commence On 02nd December 2024. This Tender Is Divided Into Lots: • Lot 1: Minor Ground Works • Lot 2: Culvert And Small Bridge Works • Lot 3: Culvert And Drainage Tenderers May Apply For One Or More Lots. Lots Will Be Evaluated Independently Of One Another, And Tenderers Will Receive One Score For Each Lot They Apply For. Each Lot Represents One Contract. The Lead Local Flood Authority Team Have Been Allocated £500,000 For Projects This Financial Year. We Hope To Have Similar Allocations In Future Years Which Is How We Have Calculated The Potential Value Of The Framework, But This Is Subject To Annual Funding Allocations As Part Of The Oxfordshire County Council Budget. In 2024/25 A Large Part Of The Lead Local Flood Authority Funding For Projects Is Being Allocated To Parish Councils And Other Organisations To Undertake Projects, As Such The Number Of Projects And Value Of The Framework Will Be Limited Between The Award Date (please See Tender Pack) And The Start Of The 2025/26 Financial Year (april 2025), When We Expect To Have More Projects To Award Through The Framework. The Procurement Act 2023 Is Expected To Go Live On 28 October 2024.
