Construction management services

Tender description

This Contract Notice follows from PIN 2016/S 026-042109 published on 5.2.2016 and concerns the procurement of a Framework Agreement for the Project and Cost Management Services. The Project and Cost Management Services Framework Agreement will serve the Parliamentary Estates Directorate (PED) on a range of minor and major works projects across the estate. Projects will vary in size, scale, complexity and value. The projects form part of the ‘business as usual’ activities of PED and do not directly relate to the Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster nor the Northern Estates Programme. The framework agreement will last for 4 years. The Contracting Authority intends to invite 6 Suppliers to tender and award up to 4 Suppliers a place on the Framework Agreement. In the situation where the Contracting Authority receives an insufficient number of tenders meeting the minimum requirements, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to award to 3 Suppliers or to cancel the procurement process. Call-offs from the framework will operate via mini-competitions, though the Contracting Authority retains the right to direct award where there is a robust justification that demonstrates value for money. Call-offs/awards following a mini-competition will be based on the most economically advantageous tender. The Framework Agreement will include the option to operate on the NEC3 Professional Services Contract Option A or Option E.
