Minor Works Framework Agreement

NEUPC, in collaboration with Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside Universities is looking to put in place a Framework Agreement for the provision of minor building works on university premises. The original tender exercise was carried out to put in place an agreement with several regional Lots, to cover all NEUPC members. Due to unforeseen circumstances only Lot 1B has been awarded. The call-offs from this framework will be predominantly refurbishment schemes but there may be the odd, low value new build as well. The nature of the works will mean that most schemes are delivered in live buildings. Knowledge of the Universities and their working practices is therefore essential, as is the ability to be on site within hours of a request, to resolve any urgent issues - whether during the works or post completion.
