Published requirement description

Hampshire County Council (HCC) is seeking to replace its existing Place, Connectivity & Infrastructure Professional Services Framework (ET14110) by establishing a new four-year multi-supplier Framework for the provision of specialist technical transportation and civil engineering professional services, together with infrastructure development and support services. The Framework aims to provide HCC with continued engineering infrastructure and development consultancy services and allows for provision for specialist technical transportation and engineering services.

The Framework includes but is not limited to the following technical professional services:

The new Framework will be divided into nine separate lots. Lot A will deliver larger scale multi-disciplinary consultancy services and Lot B will be sub dividend into eight smaller-scale specialist consultancy services.

The Framework will be available to all Public Bodies within the geographical area of England (e.g. Local Authorities, NHS, Fire, Police, schools etc.), but predominantly those within the South East and South West regions. These public bodies shall be named as 'Participating Authorities' for the purposes of this Framework but Hampshire County Council shall remain the named lead 'Contracting Authority' for the purposes of this procurement and will retain overall control and ownership of the Framework. This Framework will be an NEC4 Framework Contract, with call-offs through the Framework using the NEC4 Professional Service Contract (PSC) and Professional Service Short Contract (PSSC).

CPV: Construction-related services · Engineering design services · Engineering services · Environmental engineering consultancy services · Miscellaneous engineering services · Technical planning services · Transport systems consultancy services · Urban planning services

These public bodies shall be named as 'Participating Authorities' for the purposes of this Framework but Hampshire County Council shall remain the named lead 'Contracting Authority' for the purposes of this procurement and will retain overall control and ownership of the Framework.

Published description of the framework

Tenderers shall only be permitted to tender for either Lot A or Lot B, tenderers cannot bid for both. Those Tenderers applying to Lot B, can tender for 1 or more of the specialisms. Lot A 'Multi-disciplinary Services' shall comprise a maximum of 3 large multi-disciplinary engineering professional services companies, for the provision of engineering services. Lot B 'Specialist Services' shall comprise a maximum of 6 suppliers (varies from 3-6) for each of the specialisms for the provision of specialist consultative services. Call-offs will be run by HCC who will act as the 'client' and by other Public Authorities who will be 'Participating Authorities'. To address any potential liability to HCC in this area, a Participating Authorities Agreement will be used between HCC and the Participating Authority. Framework and Contract management will take place centrally in the Frameworks Team of Engineering Consultancy. This team will manage all requests for service, Orders and Call-Offs, manage any issues relating to Framework management and will manage payments to suppliers.

Review and risk notes
Risks
Devolution/Local Government Reform The government wants all remaining two-tier areas in England to be eventually restructured into single-tier unitary authorities and is termed Local Government Reform (LGR). This reorganisation is part of a broader devolution strategy to simplify local government structures, save more…public funds, and improve local accountability. It is anticipated, that during the life of this framework, the LGR process will commence and/or progress potentially impacting this framework and the call-off contracts awarded from it. Impacts most likely will include, novations of the legal entities you may contract with. There are assignment clauses within the framework agreement that allow us to assign, novate etc. the agreements to another body.

The Authority has had to make the difficult decision to terminate this tender opportunity (as currently published). We are re-assessing the award stage evaluation criteria and anticipate a new Gen5 Consult tender opportunity will go live in early January. The Authority apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but encourages suppliers to participate in the new opportunity once published.
