Tender: Professional Services Framework for School Capital Works and Building Maintenance – Multi‑disciplinary Design and Support Services

About

Council is seeking suppliers for a Professional Services Framework to provide contingent professional advice and top‑up capacity to officers delivering school capital works and building maintenance, to be used where funding (for example from the Department for Education) is available. The framework will supply optional, on‑call professional support because in‑house resources are insufficient to deliver the full programme; suppliers must re‑price annually in a competitive environment. The client anticipates a capital programme value of £100 million per year, with the in‑house team covering 75% and external providers supporting approximately £25 million per year (around £100 million over the four‑year framework). Services are required across 11 lots including architect‑led multidisciplinary teams for packages under and over £1,000,000, architect roles working with the in‑house team, structural engineering, CDM principal designer, quantity surveying, site supervision, building surveying, project management reporting to a Council officer, landscape architecture and drainage engineering.
