FWK1093-Project Management and Cost Management Services Framework

This Contract Notice follows from PIN 2016/S 026-042109 published on 5.2.2016 and concerns the procurement of a Framework Agreement for the Project and Cost Management Services. The Contracting Authority anticipates that separate Contract Notices for Multidisciplinary Design Services and Building Surveying Services Framework Agreements will follow later in 2016.

The Project and Cost Management Services Framework Agreement will serve the Parliamentary Estates Directorate (PED) on a range of minor and major works projects across the estate. Projects will vary in size, scale, complexity and value. The projects form part of the ‘business as usual’ activities of PED and do not directly relate to the Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster nor the Northern Estates Programme.

It is envisaged that the Project and Cost Management Services will cover major works; typically projects with a net construction value in excess of 3 000 000 GBP. In some instances, the Contracting Authority may wish to use the Framework Agreement on complex minor works with a net construction value below a 3 000 000 GBP threshold.

The framework agreement will last for four years. The Contracting Authority intends to invite six Suppliers to tender and award up to four Suppliers a place on the Framework Agreement. In the situation where the Contracting Authority receives an insufficient number of tenders meeting the minimum requirements, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to award to three Suppliers or to cancel the procurement process. Call-offs from the framework will operate via mini-competitions, though the Contracting Authority retains the right to direct award where there is a robust justification that demonstrates value for money. Call-offs/awards following a mini-competition will be based on the most economically advantageous tender.

The Framework Agreement will include the option to operate on the NEC3 Professional Services Contract Option A or Option E. The framework will primarily work on day rates and fixed percentage fees to form a fixed price lump sum contract under Option A for particular stages of a project. Occasionally, discreet pieces of work may be required on a time charge basis and will be tendered under Option E.

Further details on pricing, the scope of services, tender award criteria and mini-competition award criteria can be found within the Memorandum of Information (MOI) and Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), which can be found at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/parliamentuk/aspx/Home

It is envisaged that the Project and Cost Management Services are likely to include, but are not limited to the following:
