Procure Partnerships has launched a tender for its £500,000 Professional Services Framework which will run for four years
Procure Partnerships will invite tenders for its Professional Services Framework to run alongside the already established contractor framework.
The new framework has been divided across 11 regional lots and 11 disciplines.
The disciplines include:
- Architectural design
- Landscape architectural design
- Project management
- Structural engineering
- Civil engineering
- Quantity surveying
- MEP design
- Building surveying
- Principle designer
- Fire engineering
- Sustainability and environmental.
Robbie Blackhurst, Procure Partnerships Framework director, said: “This framework has been two years in the making with the Procure Partnerships team conducting a detailed analysis of other professional services frameworks available to public sector bodies.
“This has enabled us to build not only a comprehensive framework but also the most competitive framework on the market for public sector bodies to access.”
Blackhurst added: “The framework is divided into sub-regional lots supporting the appointment of both local and national practices. The architectural and project management lots will have the option to build full multi-disciplinary teams, but unlike other frameworks they must build that team from within the framework and cannot select practices who are not on our professional services framework.
“We are excited to get this framework up and running providing a ‘one stop shop’ for public sector clients to procure consultants through us on a direct award or mini competition basis, complementing our already successful contractor framework.”
Tender documentation for the Professional Services Framework will be released on 26 May and can be accessed here.
