Lot #1Major WorksCancelledPublished value£10,000,000
Lot #2Minor works NorthPublished value£6,000,000
The Framework Agreement is for the provision of construction related professional services by teams of Consultants and their supply chain, collectively referred to as Integrated Consultant Teams (ICTs). The Framework will be awarded in 7 lots for various construction works value ranges. It is envisaged that the projects to be delivered may include, but are not limited to, schools, universities / colleges, offices, libraries, workshops, laboratories, factories, sports and arts facilities, historic buildings, industrial units and estates, criminal justice, harbour and marine, landscaping, public realm and regeneration schemes. Consultants will provide construction related professional services including general advisory and design, procurement, economic appraisals, condition surveys, investigations, reports and other specialist services for all RIBA stages (0-7). The Framework Agreement may potentially be used by any of the organisations included within the following list: List of potential participants - ICT 2023.pdf (finance-ni.gov.uk) www.finance-ni.gov.uk/publications/list-pu… ↗. Additional information: Lot 2 – Minor Works - North. It is expected that 7 consultants may be appointed to Lot 2. The geographical area known as ‘North’ is defined within the tender documents. Consultants appointed in Lot 2 cannot be appointed to Lot 3 (Unless relaxations apply – see tender documents).

The scope of services will typically commence at RIBA Stage 0 and continue to completion of the works at RIBA Stage 7.

After the Contractor is appointed, the ICT will. continue to manage the Works Project and provide multi-discipline professional advice to the Client as necessary to ensure the construction fully meets the Client's requirements in terms of quality, cost and programme.
