Construction consultancy services

Tender description

The Association has entered into a Framework Agreement with a limited number of Consultants to provide Architect, Structural Engineer, Employers Agent/QS and Principal Designer services for a 4 year period. The Association works in partnership with a number of external organisations to ensure the delivery of affordable housing. The Framework Agreement will be available for call-offs by Kingdom Housing Association Ltd and also for work on behalf of, or directly by Kingdom Initiatives Ltd (a subsidiary of Kingdom Housing Association Ltd); Fife Housing Association Alliance members (the Fife HA Alliance is made up of the 4 Fife based Housing Associations — Kingdom, Glen, Fife and Ore Valley Housing Associations); Fife Council; Clackmannanshire Council; Perth and Kinross Council; Falkirk Council; Fairfield Housing Co-operative; Angus Housing Association and the University of St Andrews (affordable housing providers primarily within the Association's geographical area of operation). Whilst there is no guarantee of receiving work it is anticipated that the appointments will be shared fairly amongst the successful consultants. The Framework Agreement will mainly cover the provision of consultant services for new build housing units for a number of different projects, ranging in size and type from mainstream housing to a variety of special needs projects. On occasion consultant services will also be required for refurbishment and planned maintenance projects. The project locations will vary but in the main will be Fife, with some likely to be in the Perth and Kinross, Angus, Clackmannanshire and other Forth Valley areas. The total number of units in each of the areas may vary and no specific numbers can be guaranteed in any area or in total.
