Building Surveying Consultancy Services Framework

Tender description

The intention of this Competition is for the University to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the procurement of Building Surveying Consultancy Services on projects with a pre-tender estimate construction value less than £1,000,000 (£1m GBP) excluding VAT. It is envisaged that the Building Surveying Consultancy Services Framework Agreement will be awarded to three (3) Consultants. The Building Surveying Consultancy Framework Agreement scope of services shall be aligned to the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 available from www.ribaplanofwork.com. Full details of the scope of services will be available in the ITT. The Building Surveying Consultancy Services to be performed pursuant to this Framework Agreement may be required for projects on any of the four University campuses and will generally be limited to refurbishment, elemental replacement projects and surveys. It is the University’s intention that Building Surveying Consultancy Services for projects with a pre-tender estimate construction value of £1,000,000 (£1m GBP) or greater will be procured via stand-alone procurements outside this Framework Agreement. The University intends to award Call-off Contracts from this Framework Agreement for projects with a pre-tender estimate construction value less than £500,000 (£ 500k GBP) without reopening competition to the Consultant who achieved the highest overall score at the ITT stage and is considered to provide the most economically advantageous tender. It is anticipated that individual Call-off Contracts under the scope of this Framework Agreement that have a pre-tender estimate construction value between £500,000 (£500k GBP) and less than £1,000,000 (£1m GBP) will be the subject of a mini-competition between all the successful Consultants awarded this Framework Agreement. Further details of how mini-competitions shall be held between successful Consultants on this Framework Agreement shall be set out in the ITT documentation.
