This tender invites you to submit competitive services and fee quotations for provision of Structural Engineering Design Services in respect of the included 'Example Projects' of hypothetical typical works which will allow the Council to assess competitive bids and establish a framework of consultancies. The companies in this framework can then be invited to provide 'mini competition' quotations for specific projects with details and schedules of services per project identified.

Following this tender exercise, it is envisaged that 3 Contractors will be appointed to the Framework.
