What is being bought

Published requirement description

Kent County Council (the Client) is the largest county council in England covering an area of

3 500 km2. It has an annual expenditure of over GBP 900 million on goods and services and

a population of 1.3 million. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic

services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with 12 district councils and 305

parish/town councils.

The framework is to enable the procurement and delivery of significant Property

Infrastructure including new builds, extensions, refurbishments and alterations to its estate.

The majority of this is existing schools; however any type of building work to any property

including housing, and associated construction services such as hard or soft landscaping is

included. A framework is to be established with up to four Suppliers to deliver the pipeline of

work based on a rotation approach.

There is no guarantee of work within this Framework and the Client reserves the right to

competitively tender any future project it deems appropriate. Call-off arrangement will be

based on the NEC 4 suite of contracts with the framework covering the South East of

England.

CPV: Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services · Building completion work · Building installation work · Construction work · Miscellaneous repair and maintenance services · Prefabricated buildings · Project management consultancy services · Repair and maintenance services of building installations · Site preparation work · Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work

This framework will support the Infrastructure Property Building programme. Projects will be

are proposed to be awarded on the basis of rotation, with the opportunity to run a mini competition process, should it be required.

The primary objective of the Client is to create sustainable relationships while increasing

flexibility and agility when commissioning new projects. However work will only be awarded

should a Contractor be meeting its Key Performance Indicators and demonstrate value for

money for each scheme. The framework pricing structure will be open book, with the Client

able to award to the next Supplier should these conditions not be met.

Suppliers may be appointed to provide either ‘Professional Services’, 'Design, Build and

Operate' schemes or 'Construction' schemes throughout the framework period. Where there

is a two stage appointment, the Client will reserve the right to award the build element of the

project if value for money is not identified. Working closely in a collaborative partnership will

help identify the build costs. Awards can be based on either a two stage appointment (where

Early Contractor Involvement is required) or a single stage appointment (where Early

Contractor Involvement is not required). Additional information: The estimated Framework value represents the total value of contracts which may be awarded via this Framework. There is no guarantee of work under this Framework. The Framework length is 4 years (48 months), with an option to extend for an additional 2 years (24 months), giving a total potential Framework period of 6 years (72 months).

The framework is being procured by the authority for its own use. However other public

sector bodies have entitlement to procure works through this framework.
