4 year Framework Agreement for the provision of Civil & Structural Engineering services for new build housing

Award

Description

Link is seeking to enter into a four-year Framework Agreement with a maximum of six suitably qualified Civil & Structural Engineering Practices for the provision of engineering services. The services may also include the provision of Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 where the practice can demonstrate it has the relevant experience to provide this role.
We would expect the principals within the practice to be members of the Institution of Structural Engineers and Institution of Civil Engineers and for the practice to be a member of the SER Scheme and we would also consider membership of ACE to be acceptable (or their equivalent organisations within the country that the practice operates in).
Link works in partnership with a number of subsidiary companies who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. The subsidiaries of Link Group include Link Housing Association Ltd, Link Living, Horizon Housing Association Ltd, Larkfield Housing Association Ltd and West Highland Housing Association Ltd. Although it is possible that other organisations may join the Group, becoming subsidiary companies, during the term of the Framework Agreement, and may also wish to "call off" from the Framework.
Link also works in partnership with several external organisations, refer to Section 1.1 of the Contract Notice for further details, who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. It is also intended that any Registered Social Landlord registered and operating in Scotland will be entitled to purchase services from the framework, subject to Link's prior agreement.
There is no guarantee of any work, however, it is likely that individual commissions will be "called off" either by direct selection or by mini tendering, within the terms of the Framework Agreement, to identify the most economically advantageous tender.
The Framework Agreement will mainly cover the provision of Civil & Structural Engineering services for new build housing, however individual projects could include rehabilitation of existing properties, extensions, office accommodation, commercial property, adaptations, and planned maintenance projects.
The Framework Agreement may include, where successful Bidders are suitably qualified and experienced, Principal Designer Services on each of the project types listed above.
The projects will range in size, tenure and type from mainstream housing to a variety of particular needs housing. The tenure type will cover all affordable tenures, private rented and market sale. Applicants should have experience of projects within the affordable housing sector of between 5 and 500 units including flats, houses and retirement living projects.
The location of projects will vary but in the main will be in the Central Belt of Scotland, Argyll & Bute and Highland, however individual projects may be located in any part of Scotland. The total number of units in each of the geographical areas may vary and specific numbers cannot be guaranteed in any area or in total.
Although individual projects cannot be guaranteed, Link will expect the successful Engineering Practices to deliver a high quality and value for money service.
