SCF Consult 2

Description

Hampshire County Council (HCC) and Devon County Council (DCC) seek suitably experienced and qualified construction/property consultants to tender for this SCF Consult 2 Framework.
The SCF Consult framework provides all project, property, and asset consultancy services to public sector across the SCF geography (as defined in the ITT) and is available to all public sector bodies.
SCF Consult is designed to complement the established SCF Integrated Team approach to delivering Two Stage Open Book (2SOB) projects, and also to enable public authorities to gain access to high quality professional property and asset consultancy services, in a consistent manner.
The framework is intended to deliver every type of construction, property, estates and strategic property support, including but not limited to the below:
• Asset Strategy and Estates Management
• Place Making, Planning & Development
• Valuation, Land Acquisition and Disposals
• Commercial And Cost Management
• Programme And Project Management
• Design And Delivery of Programmes and Projects
• Technical Standards, Assurance and Risk
• Repairs And Maintenance
• Operational Facilities Management
Appointment to the Framework does not guarantee any specific volume of work nor are any minimum volume guarantees offered, services are expected to be delivered across the SCF's regional area and throughout the value bands.
Whilst pure civil engineering projects are not a key objective of this framework civil engineering disciplines can be delivered as part of a multi-disciplinary appointment.
The framework is arranged into three lots to provide maximum flexibility to contracting authorities.
All lots on the framework cover the entire geography of the framework, and every size of commission. Consultants are expected to service the entire geography of the framework and support commissions of any size, from small high-level strategic advice commissions to long term developments, strategic partnerships, and programme delivery. It is the expectation that there will be a need for longer term co-located resources as well as shorter term resources and services provided on a more ad-hoc basis. Requirements could include co-located leaders or individuals integrated into client teams (including client in-house staff) or whole programme/project teams of individuals working remotely or coming to client offices as needed.

Electronic invoicing will be accepted with prior agreement and electronic payment via BACs is preferred.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
