two.1.4) Short description

Cornwall Council needs to ensure it has access to all the relevant skills required for the professional development and management of its annual Capital programme which in turn is key to successful delivery across its Outcome Delivery Priorities and is seeking to appoint a single consultant to a Framework Agreement to be accountable and responsible for the delivery of capital projects for the Council from RIBA 0 to RIBA 7. The framework will be used to undertake services relating to the built environment that will require multi-disciplinary design support covering, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering and Mechanical & Electrical Engineering. Also, Development Management, Project Management, Cost Management, Site Supervision, Health and Safety Assessment.

We are seeking bids to appoint a single consultant who is capable, under NEC3/4, JCT or other forms of contract as required, of carrying out services on behalf of the Council, and may be asked to provide works and services for all departments and wholly owned companies of the Council.

This procurement process is designed to enable Cornwall Council to have access to all of the services necessary to support construction and civil engineering projects. The winning bidder will need to be supported by a predominantly locally based sub-consultant supply chain. And will need to demonstrate access to sufficient appropriate resources required to meet the council’s capital programme ambitions.

The new operating model within the council sees a move away from the previously adopted hybrid model utilising internal and external resources for delivery, to an entirely outsourced delivery model with council staff focussed on commissioning.

The development of projects will usually be aligned to the RIBA Plan of Works 2020 with formal go/no go Gateways at the end of each stage.

The Consultant shall ensure that all tasks required by the Call-off Contract for the delivery of a Project are carried out by a professional with the appropriate skills, knowledge, training and experience as proportionate to the scale, size and general nature of the project.

Outside of the requirements of the individual Call-Off Contracts the Consultant shall ensure that there is an appropriate programme structure in place to manage the likely workload of the Framework including the interdependencies between projects

It will be the responsibility of the Consultant to determine the optimum resourcing requirements and the appropriate members of staff to utilise on any given project and it is the responsibility of the Consultant to ensure they employ persons with the correct skills, experience, qualifications and professional accreditations to effectively deliver the Scope without support from the Client.
