This tender notice is for the award of a public contract through an open procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(a) of the PA 2023. The Department for Infrastructure – Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM) intends to establish a multi-contractor, multi-lot framework, for the delivery of Surface Dressing. The Framework will include the following work activities: application of surface dressing, associated road markings, delivery of temporary traffic management as part of associated civils works on live trafficked public roads, and other associated ancillary works. The Framework will comprise of seven Area Lots (1-7). A Measured Term Contract (MTC) Call-Off will be awarded for each Area Lot as listed below. Each MTC will deliver surface dressing works commissioned through Works Orders, each with a value of up to £750k. Area Lots are: SDF S2 - Newry, Mourne and Down / Ards and North Down; SDF W2 - Derry and Strabane / Fermanagh and Omagh; SDF S1 - Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon; SDF W1 - Mid Ulster; SDF N1 - Causeway Coast and Glens; SDF N2 - Mid and East Antrim / Antrim and Newtownabbey; SDF E1 - Belfast / Lisburn and Castlereagh. Framework award is expected to be in April 2026. However, works under the MTC Call-Off Contracts are not anticipated to commence until the 2027 Surface Dressing season, likely to commence in May 2027. This Framework will deliver works from Call-Off contracts with an overall cumulative value of £80m (ex VAT) over the four year term. If the Contracting Authority is unable, for any reason, to award a new framework or to put in place an alternative regime to replace this Framework on its termination or expiry, any Call-Off Contract established under the Framework may be extended for a further period or periods up to a maximum of 12 additional months. This may increase the overall cumulative value to £100m (ex VAT).
