Official UK procurement notice
Tarbert Heritage Scheme – Design Team Framework
Authority: Argyll and Bute Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTarbert Heritage Scheme is an exciting project, which seeks to revitalise key buildings within Tarbert’s village core by offering grants to property owners to assist with the cost of making structural and external repairs to their historic buildings and shopfronts. A framework agreement developed by the Council should prove helpful to the Clients as they would have the option of using the Consultant on the framework, rather than having to source their own architect and go through their own quality screening process. The successful Consultant must be conservation accredited and have access to a full design service.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60
- Price: 40
- Technical & professional ability
Execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Tarbert Heritage Scheme – Design Team Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
