The London Borough of Hillingdon is looking for suitably qualified consultants to be party to a Framework Agreement for Building and Construction Consultancy Services.
The Scope of the Framework Agreement
The Framework will consist of the following Lots:
Above is a list of the Lots, if a requirement would fit under the Lot heading, it is considered included. Each Lot will include additional elements such as tender preparation, tendering, project management services, the provision of a wide range of advice on all matters concerned with planning, development and environmental issues which surround a building project.
Each Lot is also available as Multi-Disciplinary, providing the Lot selected at Call Off is the main requirement of the intended project.
This is a Competitive Flexible Procedure with 2 stages.
Stage 1 - (Selection Stage) will have the following weighting:
Quality (Technical)- 100%
It is intended that the Authority will shortlist to all those Applicants that are ranked within the top 10 of Stage 1 and to any that are tied 10th for each Lot and will then be invited to the second stage of the procurement process, the Invitation to Tender (ITT - Stage 2)
Those shortlisted and invited to tender under Stage 2 - (ITT) will be evaluated on the following weightings:
Commercial (Price) - 30%
Quality (Technical)- 70%
Each shortlisted Applicant will be invited at the ITT stage 2 to submit a tender.
Following the ITT Stage, the intention of the Framework Agreement is to Award places to the top 6 ranked bids and to any that are tied 6th, per Lot.
The maximum number of Lots that can be awarded to any one Consultant will be six (6) Lots.
At ITT stage, If a consultant is ranked within the top six scoring bids for more than six Lots, they will have Lots selected for them based upon their order of preference with the vacancy from the discarded Lots given to the next lower ranked consultant who has placed a bid in the discarded Lot. Where there are no other lower ranked Consultants, more than six Lots can be awarded.
Each Lot will be divided into Project Price Bands of the following amounts:

It is expected that upon conclusion of the Framework Agreement it will be made available to other Nationwide Public Bodies, to utilise if they wish to do so via an Access Agreement.
Each Lot will be evaluated and awarded separately. Tenderers will need to complete all required sections within each Lot to be considered.
This is for a Framework with a duration of 4 years, available to any public body to use if they wish. There is no pipeline of projects available as we cannot anticipate its use.
All Call Off contracts awarded from this Framework will be subject to a 1.5% rebate, plus VAT, based on the value of the awarded contract, payable to the London Borough of Hillingdon. This will apply to any and all contracts awarded via the Lead Authority or Contracting Authority/Authorised Users.
