Lots 1 and 2 will have 6 appointed suppliers to each. Work on these lots will be awarded solely through mini competition and the firms will have to propose a detailed supply chain in each mini competition return they make. Lots 3 to 11, it is proposed to appoint 6 Service Providers to each lot, with the most advantageous tender being the top ranked supplier in each lot. Officers would give the first offer of the work to the most advantageous tenderer for a particular lot, and should they be unable to take the work it would be offered to the second most advantageous tenderer and so on. On the anniversary date of the Framework, suppliers shall have the opportunity to re price for the lots they have been appointed to. This will be a competitive scenario, and the rankings may change dependant on the pricing review.

Notice description
A Professional Services Framework to assist officers in their work of providing a capital works and building maintenance service to schools. The framework is intended to provide a contingent professional advice service should funding should be available from e.g. the Department for Education for school capital works. The framework is to provide a top up capacity to the work of officers and so is optional expenditure. Suppliers will have to re price every year in a competitive environment to keep prices sharp. The option of not procuring this framework does not exist as there is insufficient officer resource to deliver the entire programme in house. Demand is too uncertain for the Council to commit to a long term service contract. The client team anticipates that the capital programme will have a value of £100 million per year. It is anticipated that the in house team would provide professional support to 75% of the programme. This would mean that external providers would support work to the value of £25 million per year or £100 million over the 4 year life of the framework. Lot 1 Architect led teams (full teams) to provide coordinated multidisciplinary design and contract administration for packages £1,000,000 and under Lot 2 Architect led teams (full teams) to provide coordinated multidisciplinary design and contract administration for packages over £1,000,000. Lot 3 Structural Engineering, working with in house team Lot 4 CDM principal Designer, working with in house team Lot 5 Quantity Surveying, working with in house team Lot 6 Site supervisor, working with in house team Lot 7 Building Surveying, working with in house team Lot 8 Project Management of capital works reporting to a Council officer.

What this export cannot show
Award values are not linked to a named supplier, and no ceiling or maximum amount is shown. Those facts stay on the official notice when the notice publishes them. A tender deadline, award dates, supplier sizes, lots, and option or renewal wording appear on contract pages only where a held notice states them. A held process counts as last at tender or planning only when that is the latest stage among the held releases. Where more than one supplier is named, the names are joint and no share is stated.
