Lot details

Lot 1

Aberdeen City Council intends to initially employ an organisation to undertake Single Building Assessment of 27 high-rise and mid-rise blocks with cladding in Aberdeen. These assessments are to conform to the requirements of the Scottish Government’s ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’, June 2024. For 20 of these blocks the ownership of these blocks is shared between the Council and a number of private owners. The clustering, shown within the ITT, illustrates these 27 high-rise and mid-rise blocks with cladding, sub-divided by the nine different cladding contracts that were undertaken at various times, in different areas of the city, since 2001. The appointed organisation will be required to take into account all aspects of: the Scottish Government’s ‘’Practical Fire Safety Guidance For Existing High Rise Domestic Buildings’’ February 2022; the Scottish Government’s ‘’Practical Fire Safety Guidance for existing Specialised Housing and similar premises’’, February 2022; the ‘’Grenfell Tower Inquiry: Phase 2 Report’’; currently implemented Fire risk mitigations measures; and current Scottish Fire and Rescue Services procedures when considering what findings and recommendations are to reported. It is envisaged that the Appointment will be split into four Stages (NB Bidders are advised that the Council may choose to end this Appointment upon completion of any of these Stages): 1. Document reviews, property inspections and the technical findings reports for these 27 blocks, based on the procedures set out in the Scottish Government’s ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’, June 2024 2. Reports of the various options for early actions and longer-term actions so as to mitigate any short-falls that are found for each of these 27 blocks, relative to the ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’ , with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages and budget costs against each; and advice on risk, based on British Standards Institute’s risk definitions, described within ‘’PAS 79 Fire risk assessment, Guidance and a recommended methodology‘’; 3. Reports providing action plan advice, with regard to: any proposed measures; priority order in relation to this group of blocks; priority order in relation to individual blocks; advice on risk, based on British Standards Institute’s risk definitions, described within ‘’PAS 79 Fire risk assessment, Guidance and a recommended methodology‘’. Reports providing recommended future Fire Strategies for each block. 4. The appointed organisation may be required to provide additional advice or services. Such as preparing concept design (to RIBA Stage 2) for any agreed works for each block and assisting in the presentation of the findings and recommendations that have been agreed with the Council to the residents, private owners and other stakeholders. These reports are to be presented as a sequence of drafts, until the findings and recommendations are agreed with the Council, upon which they are to be issued as ‘’Final’’. The appointed organisation may be required to prepare concept design (to RIBA Stage 2) for any agreed works for each block, as a potential variation from the initial commission. The appointed organisation may be required to assist in the presentation of the findings and recommendations that have been agreed with the Council to the residents, private owners and other stakeholders, as a potential future commission. The appointed organisation is to employ those sub-contractors and suppliers that are required to provide a one-stop, solution to the full performance of all the duties and objectives of this procurement. This is to include the employment of (i) high-level access contractor(s) and (ii) cladding opening-up (removal and reinstatement) sub-contractors. Company details of any Reliant Entities are to be provided as part of the SPD submission.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, engineering and surveying services (71250000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7110,1205 median · 30 average (4,040 of 10,120 with a bid count)4.2 average (4,445 of 10,120 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

These assessments are to conform to the requirements of the Scottish Government’s ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’, June 2024.  For 20 of these blocks the ownership of these blocks is shared between the Council and a number of private owners.\nThe clustering, shown within the ITT, illustrates these 27 high-rise and mid-rise blocks with cladding, sub-divided by the nine different cladding contracts that were undertaken at various times, in different areas of the city, since 2001.\nThe appointed organisation will be required to take into account all aspects of: the Scottish Government’s ‘’Practical Fire Safety Guidance For Existing High Rise Domestic Buildings’’ February 2022; the Scottish Government’s ‘’Practical Fire Safety Guidance for existing Specialised Housing and similar premises’’, February 2022; the ‘’Grenfell Tower Inquiry: Phase 2 Report’’; currently implemented Fire risk mitigations measures; and current Scottish Fire and Rescue Services procedures when considering what findings and recommendations are to reported.\nIt is envisaged that the Appointment will be split into four Stages  (NB Bidders are advised that the Council may choose to end this Appointment upon completion of any of these Stages):\n1.\tDocument reviews, property inspections and the technical findings reports for these 27 blocks, based on the procedures set out in the Scottish Government’s ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’, June 2024\n2.\tReports of the various options for early actions and longer-term actions so as to mitigate any short-falls that are found for each of these 27 blocks, relative to the ‘’Single Building Assessment Specification Document’’ , with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages and budget costs against each; and advice on risk, based on British Standards Institute’s risk definitions, described within ‘’PAS 79 Fire risk assessment, Guidance and a recommended methodology‘’;\n3.\tReports providing action plan advice, with regard to: any proposed measures; priority order in relation to this group of blocks; priority order in relation to individual blocks; advice on risk, based on British Standards Institute’s risk definitions, described within ‘’PAS 79 Fire risk assessment, Guidance and a recommended methodology‘’.  Reports providing recommended future Fire Strategies for each block.\n4.\tThe appointed organisation may be required to provide additional advice or services. Such as preparing concept design (to RIBA Stage 2) for any agreed works for each block and assisting in the presentation of the findings and recommendations that have been  agreed with the Council to the residents, private owners and other stakeholders.\nThese reports are to be presented as a sequence of drafts, until the findings and recommendations are agreed with the Council, upon which they are to be issued as ‘’Final’’.\nThe appointed organisation may be required to prepare concept design (to RIBA Stage 2) for any agreed works for each block, as a potential variation from the initial commission.\nThe appointed organisation may be required to assist in the presentation of the findings and recommendations that have been  agreed with the Council to the residents, private owners and other stakeholders, as a potential future commission.\nThe appointed organisation is to employ those sub-contractors and suppliers that are required to provide a one-stop, solution to the full performance of all the duties and objectives of this procurement.  This is to include the employment of (i) high-level access contractor(s) and (ii) cladding opening-up (removal and reinstatement) sub-contractors.
