Highway Condition Surveys - PGP/2020/980*

To undertake various conditional surveys on the highway network to inform the

Highway Authority of maintenance issues.

The Contract is primarily to be used by the Place, Growth & Prosperity Directorate to

undertake survey works on and off the highway. Stoke on Trent City Council is

seeking to appoint a UKPMS Accredited company to carry out a SCRIM survey,

SCANNER survey and MRM survey or equivalent.

This opportunity is being published by Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

The approximate value for Stoke-on-Trent City Council is £200k over the 4 year

framework period.

In addition, the City Council is making this framework available to all other relevant

Contracting Authorities in Staffordshire. It is proposed that the framework be open to

be accessed by the following public contracting authorities. (As such, the value

published is £1,000,000 – this is the projected approximate value, ie. £800k, for any

additional usage by other contracting authorities):

• Unitas Stoke-on-Trent Ltd;
• All local authorities (including unitary authorities) within the boundaries of

Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire:

• All social landlords with a principal headquarters in Staffordshire, Cheshire,

The City Council will potentially manage the framework on behalf of a range of public

sector customers. To meet the cost of doing so, the Council will levy a fee equivalent

to 3% of the value of all invoices between suppliers and customers. Where an order is

in placed, the Council will invoice a supplier on a monthly basis (or quarterly where

the amounts involved are modest). It is therefore crucial that tenderers include and

allow for this 3% fee as part of their Commercial Response;

All of the above are defined as “Contracting Authorities” within the specification.
