Potteries Museum & Art Gallery (PMAG)- Arts Council England - Phase 1 Pre-Construction Service Agreement RIBA Stage 3 & 4

Tender description

Stoke-on-Trent City Council and their appointed Multi-Disciplinary Design Team are looking to procure the services of a Main Contractor via a Two-Stage Tender under a JCT Design & Build 2024 Contract. The appointed Contractor will enter a Pre-Construction Services Agreement with Stoke-on-Trent City Council to assist with the development of the RIBA Stage 4 design and procurement process, within the parameters of the Arts Council England (ACE) Funding Criteria. A client decision has been made to appoint the contractor towards the end of RIBA stage 3 to conduct a RIBA stage 3 review and engage stakeholders before moving on to RIBA stage 4. The evaluation criteria will be split based on a 60% price and 40% quality split. This ensures that a Contractor is chosen with relevant experience of working in this sector and especially around an ongoing operation where members of the public and staff could be in close proximity to the works whilst also ensuring value for money. The preliminary costs and overheads and profit percentage will form part of the PCSA procurement process. Following RIBA stage 4, the contractor will seek sub-contractor quotations in order to produce a contract sum. The agreed overheads and profit percentage, and preliminary costs will be fixed. Stoke-on-Trent City Council reserve the right to request the contractor to obtain sub-contractor quotations from pre-selected sub-contractors. For all works packages, the contractor must endeavour to obtain three sub-contractor quotations. These will be interrogated by the consultant to ensure value for money is achieved.
