Description

Portsmouth City Council - the 'council'  invited tenders from suitably qualified and experienced consultants for inclusion on a new multi-supplier fire & building safety services framework agreement.
The framework agreement will be used to source relevant services
required to fulfil the council's landlord duties in respect of its portfolio of 15,000 social housing properties and 900 corporate assets. The scope of relevant framework services is summarised within Section II.2.4. below.
The framework agreement may also be accessed by Gosport Borough Council and Southampton City Council, however the council can provide no guarantees in respect of usage by these additional named Contracting Authorities.
Three consultants have been appointed a place on the framework agreement on a ranked basis. Summary information on how the framework agreement will operate is set out within Section II.2.4. below.
The framework agreement has been established via, and concurrently with, the award of two significant council call off contracts, being 
1) 18m+ Project Contract  for 36 weeks and 
2) Individual Surveys Contract for 2 years + optional ext. up to 5 years, 
details of which are summarised within Section II.2.4. below.
Tenderers submitted bids for both contracts and the council awarded both contracts to the overall highest scoring tenderer, F R Consultants Ltd, who was also appointed as the number 1 ranked consultant on the framework agreement. 
Bailey Partnership LLP and Vemco Consulting Ltd were awarded 2nd and 3rd place on the framework respectively.
The framework agreement will run for a duration of 4 years from 10th August 2023 to 10th August 2027.
Total spend let via the framework agreement over the 4-year term is estimated at between £2.2M - £8.3M based upon the breakdown set out below:
• Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 1 '18m+ Project' = £1.2M - £2M
• Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 2 'Individual Surveys' = £1M - £1.5M (over max 5
year term)
• *Portsmouth City Council - Call Off Contract 3 '11-18m Blocks' = £2.5M - £3M
• **Gosport Borough Council = £400,000 - £600,000
• **SCC Demand = £800,000 - £1.2M
*This call off contract will only be let in the event that the Building Safety Regulator reduces the height of "higher risk" buildings to 11m during the term of the framework agreement. 
**These estimates are based upon values which were provided by each of the named Contracting Authorities. The council provides no guarantee in respect of the accuracy of these estimates or any guarantee that the Contracting Authorities will call off from the framework agreement.
The value of individual surveys commissioned via council (Call Off Contract 2) is expected to vary form between £500 to £15,000 per building. However, the council may also commission packages of surveys which may be of a higher value. These ranges are purely indicative and no minimum or maximum values for surveys or packages of surveys will apply.
The Council established the framework in accordance with the Open Procedure in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Hampshire County Council (HCC) is seeking to replace its existing Place, Connectivity & Infrastructure Professional Services Framework (ET14110) by establishing a new four-year multi-supplier Framework for the provision of specialist technical transportation and civil engineering professional services, together with infrastructure development and support services. The Framework aims to provide HCC with continued engineering infrastructure and development consultancy services and allows for provision for specialist technical transportation and engineering services. The Framework includes but is not limited to the following technical professional services: • Transportation planning, transport assessment modelling; • Highways management and engineering, highway and structure design; • Safety audit, engineering and management; • Waste disposal infrastructure and development; • Transportation and civil engineering specialisms; • Flood and water management; • Railway and rapid transit infrastructure; • Ecological and environmental specialisms; • Sustainable and community integration. The new Framework will be divided into nine separate lots. Lot A will deliver larger scale multi-disciplinary consultancy services and Lot B will be sub dividend into eight smaller-scale specialist consultancy services. The Framework will be available to all Public Bodies within the geographical area of England (e.g. Local Authorities, NHS, Fire, Police, schools etc.), but predominantly those within the South East and South West regions. These public bodies shall be named as ‘Participating Authorities’ for the purposes of this Framework but Hampshire County Council shall remain the named lead ‘Contracting Authority’ for the purposes of this procurement and will retain overall control and ownership of the Framework. This Framework will be an NEC4 Framework Contract, with call-offs through the Framework using the NEC4 Professional Service Contract (PSC) and Professional Service Short Contract (PSSC).

Northwest Contractor Framework

Wirral Borough Council (the "Council") as the Contracting Authority in partnership with Procure Partnerships intends to let a Closed North West Contractor Framework (the "Framework"). The Framework will have a maximum duration of four years and may be used to award contracts for the Council's pipeline of works and will be accessible by North West Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities. The Framework consists of Thirteen Lots broadly categorised as Construction Lots (Lots 1-6) / Infrastructure Lots (Lots 7-12) / Demolition Lot (Lot 13). The Council aims to appoint Ten Contractors to each Framework Lot, except for Lot 13 Demolition which will have one single contractor. Lots 1 - 12 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the North West Region UKD). Lot 13 will be accessible by Public Sector Bodies / Contracting Authorities in the Merseyside Region UKD7 only. Where there are ten suitable applicants, the highest scoring ten Contractors for each Lot will be awarded a place on that Framework Lot, and will be ranked from one to ten: the highest scoring Contractor becoming the Rank 1 Contractor, the second highest becoming the Rank 2 Contractor etc. Should a Contractor decline to accept their offered place on the Framework, then a place may be offered to the next highest scoring Contractor (i.e., who may have come eleventh). The Council will also offer one reserve place to Lot 13 Demolition. The Reserve Contractor will be the Tenderer which ranked second. The Reserve Contractor may be brought on to the Framework at any stage during its term where the Council permanently excludes or terminates the Framework Agreement with a Contractor (having won a place on the Framework) for poor performance or otherwise (e.g., insolvency) as provided for in the Framework Agreement. The Reserve Contractor may be brought onto the Framework if the Rank 1 Contractor declines an opportunity from an End User for any reason. As such, the Reserve Contractor will to be required to sign a variation of the Framework Agreement at the point in time that they are invited onto the Framework. The intended number of ten Contractors per Lot may be varied: The maximum number of Contractors awarded a place on each Lot may increase only where two or more suppliers have tied scores, and are jointly placed in the last position (tenth) in respect of each Lot. In such a case, the Contractors who are tied with the same score in the last position for each Lot shall be deemed to be one Contractor for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors for each Lot. The Council will award a Framework Agreement to additional Contractors where their final score is within 0.01 - 1.00% of the awarded last place position only. For the avoidance of doubt, last position for each lot is tenth position. Only one contractor will be awarded a place on Lot 13 Demolition. One reserve place will be allocated to Lot 13. Where two or more Contractors have tied scores and are in any position except for the last (tenth) position for each Lot, the number of Contractors will fill the positions immediately following the position that they have tied for. For example, where two Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy the sixth and seventh positions. For example; where three Contractors are tied in the sixth position, they will occupy that sixth position as well as the seventh and eighth position respectively for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of Contractors in respect of the Lot in question. If less than ten Contractors meet the selection criteria to get on each Framework Lot, the Council reserves the right to proceed to establish the Framework with less than ten Contractors on each Lot or to cancel the procurement of that Lot. Further where a Contractor's total score (based on the technical and commercial award criteria) for a Lot ranks them within the top ten Contractors but is under 50%, then on the basis that the Council does not wish to compromise on the calibre of appointed Contractors, the Council reserves the right not to offer them a place on the Framework, and to proceed to award that Lot to less than ten Contractors.
