3891.EFM.JR.23 - Multi Disciplinary Consultancy (Construction Professional Services)

Description

The University has appointed a panel of multi-disciplinary consultants to an agreement for a period of up-to eight (8) years. Consultants from the panel will be appointed to deliver services for specific projects on a call-off basis as and when a requirement arises. This multi-disciplinary consultancy services framework is intended to involve the construction works led by a project management/building surveying service together with CORE functions of cost management, contract management and CDM Principal Designer together with the facility to sub consult out to NON-CORE additional disciplines including architectural design, MEP, structural & civil engineering design services.
Whilst consultants are required to be able to access these NON-CORE additional disciplines via their supply chain, the Consultant MUST also be able to use and work with other selected University approved consultants for NON-CORE disciplines where applicable, and this will be the default position. 

Fees will be applied to projects in the range of zero up to 5 million nett construction value excluding costs associated with design team fees, fixed furniture and equipment, ICT infrastructure and specialist research equipment installation works. VAT is excluded.

The multi-disciplinary appointment will also provide ALL CORE professional design team services in house (i.e. via full time employees directly employed by the consultant's organisation):

•CDM Principal Designer
•Project Management
•Cost Management
•Building Surveying
•Contract Management

In addition to the above we anticipate that the Multi-Disciplinary appointment will also either directly provide or sub consult if required the additional NON-CORE professional design team services namely:
•Architectural
•Mechanical, Electrical and Public Heath (MEP)
•Structural & Civil

Additional scope of services will be provided for each of the above professional design team services.

Consultants appointed as multi-disciplinary may also be required to source other related services either directly or via a supply chain partner. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
Such services may include but not be limited to consultancy related to:- 

•Landscape Designer / Architect
•Asbestos
•Geotechnical
•Acoustician
•building information modelling (BIM)
•Lighting
•Transport, planning and infrastructure design 
•Accessibility
