Published requirement description

The Guinness Partnership (TGP) is seeking to establish a multidisciplinary framework to deliver a range of development consultancy services across its nationwide portfolio. The framework will support the delivery of affordable housing, building safety, and regeneration projects, and will cover the following service areas:

  • Employer's Agent - including contract administration, project management, and procurement advice.
  • Cost Consultancy - full financial management of projects, including budgeting, tender review, and value engineering.
  • CDM Advisor and Principal Designer - ensuring compliance with Construction Design and Management Regulations and promoting health and safety throughout the lifecycle of the works.

These services will be required across England, with a focus on key regions such as Greater Manchester, London, Brighton, Milton Keynes, Bristol, Gloucester, and Leeds. Flexibility and strong regional coverage are essential due to TGP's dispersed housing stock.

  • How the procedure runs: This tender process will consist of two stages: Stage 1 - Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) - This current stage of the process will provide a means of shortlisting suppliers to be invited to submit a formal tender, and for establishing that all Participants invited to tender are able to meet the specified conditions of participation (minimum standards required by Guinness). The PSQ will be evaluated on the basis of a series of questions relating to the conditions of participation, which will be evaluated on a pass or fail questions (Guinness reserves the right to review that bidders continue to meet these conditions throughout the duration of the process), and a series of shortlisting questions (project specific questions) with individual weightings, which will be scored out of a total of 100 percent. Please note that there is a minimum score award required of 2 out of 5 for each and every scored PSQ question - bidders failing to achieve this will also fail the assessment process. Bidders must meet all specified conditions of participation to be able to take part in the process. The scored project specific questions will be used to determine which bidders will be invited to submit a tender in the second stage. Guinness proposes to shortlist 12 participants per lot, but may allow up to a maximum of 15 where scores are sufficiently close - see PSQ document for detail. The evaluation methodology for the shortlisting stage is set out in the PSQ documents attached to the opportunity on Proactis. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT): Shortlisted Participants will be invited to submit a tender. The process will be a single-stage tender requiring a price and quality submission in a format specified by Guinness. ITT documents will be provided to shortlisting bidders at the commencement of the tender period. Tenders will be scored on the basis of 70 percent quality, 30 percent price. Both the pricing and quality evaluation matrices are still in the process of being refined, and the detailed evaluation methodology will be set out in the ITT when published. Some of the currently envisaged evaluation criteria are included within the 'Lot' Award Criteria - please note that these are not firm and fixed and are subject to change. Guinness intends to appoint 5 suppliers per lot (provided that sufficient acceptable tenders are received) up to a maximum of 7 suppliers per lot in the event that scores are sufficiently close. The objective methodology for determining this will be included within the ITT when issued.
  • No preliminary market engagement: Not Applicable - A previous Preliminary Engagement Notice (UK2) Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04e95b (2025/S 000-007848) was issued and linked to a tender notice (2025/S 000-018890). However, the tender notice was cancelled via a Notice to Terminate Procurement (2025/S 000-018949) due to an administrative error in the notice. This issue has been corrected, and a new tender notice was issued under 2025/S 000-019160. As the original tender notice was cancelled, it is not possible to link the prior Preliminary Engagement Notice to the new Tender Notice. This notice issued is for the same competition as referred to under previous notices, and should be considered as linking to, and being for the same competition as, the above Preliminary Engagement Notice and Tender Notice, however replaces any previously issued information within those notices for the same competition (2025/S 000-018890, 2025/S 000-007848).

Supplier levy on call-offs (max %)

2.50% of call-off value · Guinness intends to extend access to the framework to other Contracting Authorities, and an access fee will be charged when these third parties access the framework.

In accordance with the new rules under Procurement Act 2023, fees may only be recovered as a percentage charge of the contract award value from framework suppliers, and may therefore not be charged directly to those Contracting Authorities in exchange for access.

A framework fee will therefore be charged directly to suppliers that have been awarded a call-off contract. The sum due will be calculated as a fixed percentage (2.5 percent) of the estimated value of the call-off contract(s) awarded to the supplier, and subsequently updated to reflect actual turnover.

These fees will therefore need to be incorporated into each supplier's framework rate submission (should they be invited to submit a tender in the second stage of competition).

Please note that no access fee will be payable when Guinness itself makes use of the framework.

Fee collection:

It is currently envisaged that these fees will be calculated and charged to framework suppliers on a quarterly basis, based on a quarterly self-declaration to be provided by the framework supplier. This will form a condition of the framework contract with the supplier. Framework turnover will then also be reconciled periodically (envisaged as annually) back to contracting authority spend, to ensure that the correct fees have been collected.

Who may buy through it

This Framework has been designed not only to meet the ongoing consultancy needs of The Guinness Partnership Limited (TGPL), but also to support wider sector collaboration. In addition to use by TGPL, the Framework will be made available to Authorised Users, which may include:

  • Any entity within the same group of companies as TGPL ('Guinness Group Members'),
  • Any entity in which TGPL or a Guinness Group Member holds an interest from time to time,
  • Any Social Housing Provider in the United Kingdom (excluding TGPL and Guinness Group Members), and
  • Any other 'Contracting Authority' as defined under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023
Published description of the framework

The framework will include both a suite of direct award mechanisms and a mechanism for further competitions to be carried out.

Direct award mechanisms will include the standard award to the top-ranked supplier (or other subsequent-ranked suppliers if the provider declines the opportunity), as well as a facility for an adjusted ranking system based on in-life factors such as existing workload distribution and performance.

The framework will also allow direct awards to any supplier on the framework, regardless of rank, in the following circumstances:

  • where the Framework Supplier has already carried out services at risk for Guinness or the Authorised User in relation to the project to which the Call Off Contract relates,
  • where the Call Off Contract has substantial similarities to a previous project in which the Framework Supplier was involved (whether such project was the subject of a Call Off Contract awarded under this Framework Agreement or not)
  • where for reasons of urgency it is not reasonably practicable to award the Call Off Contract by way of a Mini-Competition,
  • where Guinness or the Authorised User has determined through application of the Capability Criteria that only that Framework Supplier is capable of carrying out the Call Off Contract
  • where Guinness or the Authorised User has determined that a Framework Supplier has unique insight and understanding of the project to which the Call Off Contracts relates and/or the project's key stakeholders,
  • where the Framework Supplier has already performed services relating to the Call Off Contract and Guinness or the Authorised User requires continuity of service in respect of such a subsequent phase or stage of work,
  • where Guinness or the Authorised User has invited expressions of interest from Framework Suppliers in relation to an intended Mini-Competition for a Call Off Contract, and only one Framework Supplier has responded to express their interest within the requisite timescale set by Guinness or the Authorised User,
  • where the estimated value of the Services to be carried out under the Call Off Contract is less than the amount below which direct awards are permitted by Guinness's or the Authorised User's standing orders from time to time,
  • where for reasons of confidentiality or commercial sensitivity it is not reasonably practicable to award the Call Off Contract by way of a Mini-Competition,
  • where Guinness or the Authorised User is bound to work with a particular Framework Supplier by reason of any funding condition, or other contractual requirement imposed by another party.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: A selection of quality criteria relating to the subject matter of the contract will be assessed. The exact headlines, questions and weightings are still being formulated, however are expected to include assessment of the following: - bidder's technical proposals and proposed methodology for delivering services under the framework, - proposed resources to be available through the framework, including the proposed framework management team, delivery resources and exploration of qualifications for proposed staff - the quality evaluation may include evaluation of the bidder's proposed approaches to lot-specific considerations relating to the services delivered, to assess and understand the bidder's depth of knowledge and proposed approach to key challenges that are likely to be experienced during service delivery - proposals for added value, social value and environmental considerations These criteria are still to be fully refined, as are their individual sub-weightings, and are subject to change. The process may include for a clarification or scored interview process - the exact approach will be confirmed in the ITT documents.
  • Cost: It is likely that proposed costs and fees will be assessed on the basis of a sliding scale of fees, which will be charged as a % of total expected project value, based on a sliding scale of different value bands. This would be, for e.g. % fees charged for the following project band values: - up to £500,000 - £1,000,000 - £2,500,000 - £5,000,000 - £10,000,000 - £20,000,000 - £35,000,000 - £50,000,000 - £100,000,000 and above Bidders are also likely to be asked to provide day rates for staff of different levels of skill and seniority (i.e. senior partner through administrator). These criteria are still to be fully refined, as are weightings, and are subject to change.

  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Development Consultancy Framework for the provision of Employers…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

How it runs

This tender process will consist of two stages:

Stage 1 - Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) - This current stage of the process will provide a means of shortlisting suppliers to be invited to submit a formal tender, and for establishing that all Participants invited to tender are able to meet the specified conditions of participation (minimum standards required by Guinness).

The PSQ will be evaluated on the basis of a series of questions relating to the conditions of participation, which will be evaluated on a pass or fail questions (Guinness reserves the right to review that bidders continue to meet these conditions throughout the duration of the process), and a series of shortlisting questions (project specific questions) with individual weightings, which will be scored out of a total of 100 percent. Please note that there is a minimum score award required of 2 out of 5 for each and every scored PSQ question - bidders failing to achieve this will also fail the assessment process.

Bidders must meet all specified conditions of participation to be able to take part in the process. The scored project specific questions will be used to determine which bidders will be invited to submit a tender in the second stage.

Guinness proposes to shortlist 12 participants per lot, but may allow up to a maximum of 15 where scores are sufficiently close - see PSQ document for detail.

The evaluation methodology for the shortlisting stage is set out in the PSQ documents attached to the opportunity on Proactis.

Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT): Shortlisted Participants will be invited to submit a tender. The process will be a single-stage tender requiring a price and quality submission in a format specified by Guinness. ITT documents will be provided to shortlisting bidders at the commencement of the tender period.

Tenders will be scored on the basis of 70 percent quality, 30 percent price. Both the pricing and quality evaluation matrices are still in the process of being refined, and the detailed evaluation methodology will be set out in the ITT when published. Some of the currently envisaged evaluation criteria are included within the 'Lot' Award Criteria - please note that these are not firm and fixed and are subject to change.

Guinness intends to appoint 5 suppliers per lot (provided that sufficient acceptable tenders are received) up to a maximum of 7 suppliers per lot in the event that scores are sufficiently close.

The objective methodology for determining this will be included within the ITT when issued.

Review and risk notes
Risks

There is a possibility that external factors could lead to a substantial increase (or decrease) in Guinness' Development Programme, Planned Maintenance Programme, Building Safety Programme, or other related programmes of work, which could significantly affect the levels of workload which will be procured through the framework.

External factors could also impact upon the scope and associate cost of requirements, due to the introduction of new legislation or regulation.

External factors could include, for e.g. significant changes in government funding, housing development policy, asset management legislation, or the introduction of general new policy or regulation affecting the housing sector its financing, or housing maintenance.

Significant shifts in the economy impacting the prices of land, the cost of labour or materials, could lead to significant changes in the costs of work, the amount of work being carried out, or a significant increase or decrease in the volume of construction work carried out by Guinness.

Finally, there there is the ever-present possibility of further mergers between Guinness and other housing organisations, which could substantially alter the requirements under the framework. Whilst there are not currently any such major projects known to the Procurement Team, this is extremely common within our sector (for e.g. Guinness has recently completed a merger with another HA, Shepherd's Bush HA), so this is not outside of the realms of possibility.

Supplier levy on call-offs (max %)

call-off levy · 2.50% of call-off value · Guinness intends to extend access to the framework to other Contracting Authorities, and an access fee will be charged when these third parties access the framework.

In accordance with the new rules under Procurement Act 2023, fees may only be recovered as a percentage charge of the contract award value from framework suppliers, and may therefore not be charged directly to those Contracting Authorities in exchange for access.

A framework fee will therefore be charged directly to suppliers that have been awarded a call-off contract. The sum due will be calculated as a fixed percentage (2.5 percent) of the estimated value of the call-off contract(s) awarded to the supplier, and subsequently updated to reflect actual turnover.

These fees will therefore need to be incorporated into each supplier's framework rate submission (should they be invited to submit a tender in the second stage of competition).

Please note that no access fee will be payable when Guinness itself makes use of the framework.

Fee collection:

It is currently envisaged that these fees will be calculated and charged to framework suppliers on a quarterly basis, based on a quarterly self-declaration to be provided by the framework supplier. This will form a condition of the framework contract with the supplier. Framework turnover will then also be reconciled periodically (envisaged as annually) back to contracting authority spend, to ensure that the correct fees have been collected.
