Award of framework. Roads and Transportation delivers an extensive programme of works, including carriageway surfacing and structural maintenance. As part of this maintenance programme, following guidance from the Scottish Road Research Board (January 2018), the council is required to test for coal tar in its roads prior to the commencement of any related works.
There is also a need to carry out testing on other materials to pre-inform design work, and to check the specification of materials being supplied during works. Material testing prior to and during the works will identify issues during the design stage and ensure the quality of the finished product. The current Framework Agreement provides this range of services across four lots, as detailed below.
Whilst the current framework does have extensions, there are changes in requirements which means the service prefer to retender the framework to increase the specification and allow new market entrants to be considered.
