Description

The West of England Combined Authority, in collaboration with Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Bath and North East Somerset Council, is establishing a four-year Professional Services Framework Agreement to support our regional infrastructure projects. This Framework Agreement will have a single lot incorporating a number specialisms detailed within the Scope of Requirements. It is our intention to award up to six Suppliers a place on the Framework agreement (except in the unlikely event that two Suppliers are within 1% of winning sixth place, in which case we reserve the right to include a seventh Supplier). Each Supplier is expected to have multi-disciplinary capability or access to deliver the contracts/work packages granted under the Framework Agreement. It is estimated that the Framework Agreement will have a value of between £55m and £112m over the four-year term. The Framework can be utilised by all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including but not limited to: local authorities, health, police, fire and rescue, education and devolved administrations. Use of the Framework by these other bodies will be via an access agreement issued by the West of England Combined Authority. The CA aims to appoint suppliers who have the capabilities and capacity to support the delivery of its business and strategic objectives at pace and who will share the CA's ethos and values.
