Professional Services Framework
- Lancashire County Council
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-051ffe
Description
A Professional Services Framework to assist officers in their work of providing a capital works and building maintenance service to schools. The framework is intended to provide a contingent professional advice service should funding should be available from e.g. the Department for Education for school capital works.
The framework is to provide a top up capacity to the work of officers and so is optional expenditure. Suppliers will have to re- price every year in a competitive environment to keep prices sharp. The option of not procuring this framework does not exist as there is insufficient officer resource to deliver the entire programme in- house. Demand is too uncertain for the Council to commit to a long- term service contract.
The client team anticipates that the capital programme will have a value of £100 million per year. It is anticipated that the in-house team would provide professional support to 75% of the programme. This would mean that external providers would support work to the value of £25 million per year or £100 million over the 4- year life of the framework.
