Description of the procurement
This is the selection stage of the competition, those Applicants who are successful in shortlisting will be invited to a tender stage. Following completion of the tender stage the successful tenderer will be appointed to the framework. Thereafter, TII intends to draw down insurance advice and brokerage services under various call-offs. Subject to the advice of the insurance advisor, it is anticipated that most or all of the proposed MetroLink contracts will be included in an OCIP, including all or some of the Enabling Works packages. TII will also require advice in relation to the insurances to be maintained by contractors who are appointed to undertake works associated with the Project according to the conditions of the core contracts.
To be able to appoint a Project Insurer, TII requires the advice of an experienced insurance advisor to plan and manage the Project Insurer/OCIP procurement process and to identify the accompanying provisions for required Insurances to be incorporated in the core contracts.
The specialist insurance advice needed by TII in connection with the MetroLink Project will include:
i) for the core contracts:
• advising on the appropriate types of Required Insurances and levels of coverage;
• preparing the insurance schedules of the core contracts (including the PPP);
• advising on insurance matters related to the contract interfaces, the Interface Agreement and any cross-liability issues;
• reviewing all insurance aspects of the tender and contract documentation;
• claims advisory and claims management services;
• preparing the insurance requirements to be included in the tender documents for the core contracts and supporting the tender processes;
• reviewing any submitted documents or evidence of insurance and completing insurance due diligence for all contract documents prior to contract award; and
• for the PPP contract:
- provide advice in relation to the operations period of the PPP contract;
- provide advice to TII and NDFA (as TII’s PPP financial adviser) on insurance considerations in the public sector benchmark and shadow bid model;
- support the Preferred Tenderer negotiation and contract award stage including participating in negotiations with the Preferred Tenderer and funders on all insurance issues.
ii) for the selection of a Project Insurer and procurement of the OCIP:
• determining the appropriate insurance structure of the OCIP/project insurance programme and the levels of cover required for MetroLink;
• supporting TII in defining the procurement process to appoint the Project Insurer;
- determining the necessary technical knowledge, ability and experience required of tenderers to put in place the appropriate insurances for the project;
- to assist in setting and assessing the financial rating and competence of tenderers with the experience and capability on risk management and claims to underwrite the risks; and
- assisting in the evaluation of tenders.
iii) general insurance advice TII on all other project matters related to MetroLink, including ad hoc insurance advisory and brokerage services in respect of other works and services contracts to be procured and delivered by TII for MetroLink, including inter alia, the advance works contracts, enabling works and the Property Owner Protection Scheme.
TII and NTA reserve the right to use this framework for the provision of other rail projects over the duration of the framework agreement.
