Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

Infrastructure investment is a key Welsh Government priority. In line with the priorities set out in the Wales Infrastructure Investment Plan (WIIP), in May 2014 Welsh Ministers announced their intention to deliver two major infrastructure schemes using the Non-profit Distributing (NPD) model, namely: dualling of sections 5 and 6 of the A465 [the A465], delivery of the Velindre Cancer Campus [Velindre].

The Welsh Government, on behalf of Welsh Ministers [the Client], wishes to establish a Framework with three (3) separate, single supplier lots, for legal, financial and insurance services to advise on and support the development and implementation of these two NPD schemes, in the first instance.To support this it is anticipated the first piece of work required from Lot 1 will be the development of the Standard Form Contract and associated documentation.

The Supplier appointed to each of these individual Lots will not be guaranteed any business or income as a result of the appointment. Nor will the Supplier be the sole supplier of either legal or financial or insurance services to the Client or Participating Organisations.
