Architectural and related services

Tender description

The multi-party framework agreement will be established with up to five (5) economic operators, subject to the receipt of a sufficient number of valid tenders and comprising the following disciplines: (a) Architectural Services (incl. design team lead, fire safety design services, disability access design services, employer's representative for the Works Contract, design certifier and assigned certifier services as defined under the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014). (b) Civil and Structural Engineering Services, (c) Quantity Surveying Services, (d) Building Services Engineering (incl. building energy rating) (e) Landscape Architectural Services, (f) Project Supervisor for the Design and Construction Process, (g) Traffic Management Services, (h) Environmental Consultant, and (i) Conservation Architect (this discipline will not be required for the initial contract but potentially may be required for future contracts). The architectural services consultant will be the design team lead and will act as the single point of contractual responsibility, with the remaining key disciplines providing collateral warranties for the benefit of the Contracting Authority. Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above without exception (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium or by relying on the resources of another party or parties) will be considered. Therefore, applications relating to one or several of these disciplines but not all are not acceptable and will be rejected. The maximum estimated value of the services over the lifetime of the framework is anticipated to be in the region of 2 000 000 EUR to 10 000 000 EUR. (ex VAT). The period of the framework agreement will be four (4) years. For the avoidance of doubt, the period for delivery of any contracts awarded under the framework may extend beyond the date of expiry of the framework agreement.
