What is being bought8 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionA framework to delivery estates services to Members across a number of disciplines.
The Framework is being established for the first time and subsequent iterations will develop the capacity and viability of the services.
There is no guarantee of work through the Framework and no obligation for Members to use the Framework. The spend is unknown at this point due to the Framework being the first of it's type for us.
We will review the Framework viability.
There are 6 viable Lots on the Framework. These are:
Lot 1 - Lead Contractor
Lot 2 - Project Management
Lot 3 - Quantity Surveyor
Lot 4 - Structural Engineering
Lot 5 - MEP
Lot 6 - Planning Consultancy
Lot 8 - Fire Safety Advisor
Lot 7 - Architectural Design Services - this Lot has been removed from the Framework and a separate process will be undertaken to determine the viability of this Lot.
- How the procedure runs: This is a two stage process of application for Estates Professional Services. The first stage will be a completion of the PSQ which will be reviewed and suppliers will then be taken through the the second stage of Invitation to Participate. The buyer reserves the right for additional purchases, described here, from the contractor: Individual Lot values are indicative only and provided for estimation purposes. Actual value will depend on Customers' purchasing patterns and their decisions when calling off services. For the purposes of monitoring spend over the life of the framework agreement, the total framework value will be used to assess whether the overall spend threshold is being approached or exceeded throughout its term.

Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure
8 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 8 lots carries the same published figure, £5,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality
- Price
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Estates Professional Services (Sustainable)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
