Kent County Council is looking to procure Construction Consultancy Services under the NEC4 Framework incorporating Professional Short Services Contract (PSSC) and on occasion the Professional Services Contract (PSC) to support the Major Capital Programme Team (MCPT) with construction projects.
The required consultancy services will be lotted into the following disciplines and roles:
Lot 1 - Multi-discipline (client delegated duties)
Client delegated duties as required by the Client and under the NEC Engineering and Construction Short Contract (ECSC) when issued to a Contractor for minor projects, including the roles of quantity surveyor, planner, clerk of works and Principal Designer.
