What is being bought

Published requirement description

Stafford Borough Council are seeking to appoint a single multi-disciplinary team to work with

them to drive delivery of the new multi-storey car park in advance of the planned demolition

of the current NCP car park in 2022.

It is expected that the team appointed will provide all technical professional services to

support the Council to deliver the car park from reviewing, refining and agreeing the brief,

through initial design, contractor engagement, construction and on to final account and the

end of the defects liability period. It is expected that this professional team will include

expertise in Project, Cost and Contract Management, Planning, Design, Engineering, and

the Environment sufficient to deliver the project.

The current expectation is that the appointed team will develop early concept designs before

leading procurement activity to engage a design and build contractor on a 2-stage basis,

with an initial pre-construction services agreement being used to progress a design through

the planning process, followed by a design and build contract. It is assumed that a JCT or

similar standard form of contract with limited common amendments is most likely to be

adopted. This approach should be reviewed by the appointed team at commencement but is

the basis on which tender responses should be made and will be assessed.

Review procedure

The Contracting Authority incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers.

The award decision process specified the criteria for the award of the contract/framework agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages, the name and score of the successful tender(s), and specified when the standstill period was expected to end or the date before which the Contracting Authority will not conclude the contract/framework agreement.

If an appeal regarding the award of a contract/framework agreement has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages.

If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages.

The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
