Work and minor work contracts

The Work and Minor Work contracts are all of the result-oriented type. The work is specified by CERN and the contractor is given full responsibility for its performance. The contracts are thus very similar to supply contracts. The re-tendering of the existing contracts is almost complete, except for some building maintenance contracts. A new cycle of re-tendering for some activities will be launched in the next twelve months. The total estimated expenditure in the year 2000 for the contracts referred to in this document is 27 750 000 Swiss francs at 1999 prices. The Finance Committee is invited: - to approve the proposed expenditure for the extension of contracts for which the estimated amount for the year 2000 exceeds 750 000 Swiss francs, namely those under references 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 23, highlighted in Table I; - to take note that all Work and Minor Work contracts have been tendered since 1 January 1994, except the small contracts shown under references 12 and 16 in Table I; - to take note that the total estimates for the year 2000 for the activities references 5 to 11, for which a call for tenders is in preparation, include estimates of expenditure in the case of a possible change of contract. The final estimates will be confirmed at the time of adjudication of the new contract; - to take note of the Work and Minor Work contracts for which the annual amount is less than 750 000 Swiss francs but exceeds 100 000 Swiss francs.
