Stafford Borough Council are seeking to appoint a single multi-disciplinary team to work with

them to drive delivery of the proposed mixed-use scheme from inception to completion.

It is expected that the team appointed will provide all technical professional services to support

the Council to deliver the scheme from reviewing, refining and agreeing the brief, through initial

design, securing planning permission, contractor engagement and appointment, construction

and on to handover, final account and the end of the defects liability period. It is expected that

this professional team will include expertise in Project, Cost and Contract Management,

Development, Planning, Design, Engineering, and the Environment sufficient to deliver the

project.

The current expectation is that the appointed team will develop the design to secure planning

permission before/in parallel with engaging with a design and build contractor on a design and

build contract. It is assumed that a JCT or similar standard form of contract with limited

common amendments is most likely to be adopted. This approach should be reviewed by the

appointed team at commencement but is the basis on which tender responses should be made

and will be assessed.
