Caerphilly County Borough Council is seeking to procure a Framework for Bus Shelters and Associated Parts.
The Authority is currently responsible for approximately 515 bus shelters located throughout the County Borough. The Authority anticipates that it will purchase approximately 10 bus shelters during the 2026/27 financial year. Suppliers will need to be able to confirm that they can do this prior to End of March 2027.
Further purchases of approximately 10 bus shelters per year in future financial years will also be required. For the avoidance of doubt, this figure is an estimate only and requirements are both grant funding dependent and demand led. The Authority does not guarantee to purchase any quantities of components or works.
Further to this, the Authority will likely require associated parts and equipment to ensure the upkeep of the Bus Shelters throughout their life. It is envisaged that parts will be purchased where appropriate from the original supplier throughout the lifetime of the shelter to ensure that they are maintained in accordance with the original product. Generic items may be purchased from the original supplier or elsewhere as the Authority deems appropriate.
All information relating to the tender and contract can be found within the Tender Document Pack.
This procurement process is being undertaken in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within The Procurement Act 2023.
The Authority intends to establish a Framework for a period of three (3) years with the option to extend for a further period of up to twenty-four (24) months.
The Authority will appoint up to three (3) Contractors to this Framework Agreement.
