Description

The Strategic Asset Management team are responsible for all of the asset information for all of the different asset groupings that exist within the portfolio of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Due to various existing arrangements coming to an end and new services required the WMCA requires a new framework consisting of the following Lots: - Lot 1 - BIM - Lot 2 - Inspections - Lot 3 - Small Works - Lot 4 - Structures The WMCA is looking to establish a Framework Agreement with one supplier for Lot 1 and one supplier for Lot 4 to ensure consistency in advice and a minimum of 4 suppliers in total for Lot 2 with a sole supplier for the vacant land and building inspections element and at least three suppliers for the ad-hoc surveys element awarded via mini competitions. Lot 3, due to the potential variety of works, will be issued via mini competition to ensure competitiveness across the period. A longer- term framework of six years is required due to the extended timescales within Lot 4 to meet the WMCA's cyclical inspection programme. Bidders can apply to be included for any or all Lots of the framework and this is a retender which was originally tendered earlier in 2021. Bids are being assessed on the basis of 60% price and 40% quality for all Lots apart from Lot 3 which is 70% price and 30% quality.
