What is being bought5 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons (acting jointly) intend to establish a bicameral parliamentary framework agreement through which they can secure the services of suitably qualified and experienced multidisciplinary design service providers via call-off contracts, acting jointly or individually.
The Delivery Authority shall also be entitled to issue call-off contracts under the framework agreement.
To increase access to specialists, the services will be procured through five lots: (i) Mechanical and Electrical Plant (MEP) engineering services; (ii) civil and structural engineering design services; (iii) conservation, architecture and heritage services (iv) control systems and electronic system engineering services; and (v) fire engineering services.
The core services that are required include, but are not limited to: Lead Designer; Architectural Services; Mechanical and Public Health Engineering; Electrical Engineering; Control Systems and Electronics Engineering; Structural and Civil Engineering; Structural and Civil Engineering; Fire Engineering and NEC4 Supervisor.
Supplementary specialist services will also be required to achieve a fully integrated design service / solution for the wide and diverse nature of projects and programmes that will be undertaken.
These specialist services may include but not limited to
- Archaeological Surveys
- Archaeological Watching Briefs
- Asbestos Consultancy Services
- Audio Visual (AV) Services
- BREEAM Consultancy Services
- WELL Building Consultancy Services
- Catering Design and Specification Services
- Ecology Services
- Landscape Architect Services
- Religious Services
- Security (Building Fabric)

It is envisaged that for individual call-off contracts awarded under the framework agreement, a Lead Designer will be appointed (from the most appropriate lot) at Gate 0 - 1 (RIBA Plan of Work 2020). On appointment, the Lead Designer will take sole responsibility for delivery of design scope whether design services are subcontracted or not.
It is further envisaged that the Lead Designer will endeavour to use other framework suppliers save in circumstances that capacity or capability is not available to support the efficient and effective delivery for a diverse range of projects that sit within the medium-term investment plan of the estate. Whilst this is how the Authority envisages the framework will operate, it reserves its right to alter this approach for projects throughout the life of the framework agreement.
Additional detail on the proposed operation of the framework agreement is contained within the procurement documentation.
