Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation organisation has initiated the "UKSBS PR18100 Engineering Design and Drawing Framework" procurement process, aimed at providing key engineering design services within the research sector. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the procurement stage is currently at the award stage. This contract encompasses two lots: Basic CAD and Drafting, and Design and Engineering, with a procurement focus on delivering services to various locations including Edinburgh, Warrington, and Oxfordshire. The deadline for bids has now passed, with contracts being signed on 5th January 2021, signalling an active engagement of suppliers in this competitive tendering process.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in engineering design and drafting, especially those equipped with capabilities in CAD modelling and complex engineering systems. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with proven technical expertise in disciplines such as solid edge, pressure systems, and vacuum engineering will find this particularly relevant. Successful firms may benefit from a framework that could lead to multiple contract awards over the agreement's duration, expanding their project portfolio and enhancing their market presence.

Notice Title

UKSBS PR18100 Engineering Design and Drawing Framework

Notice Description

A component part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) which is one of Europe's largest multidisciplinary research organisations supporting scientists and engineers world-wide. It operates world-class large scale research facilities at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL); the Daresbury Laboratory (DL); and the UK ATC, Edinburgh; provides strategic advice to the government on their development and manages international research projects in support of a broad cross-section of the UK research community. Suppliers are required by the STFC to provide engineering design and drawing services to RAL, DL and other associated sites. The work will be required to be carried out off site and then delivered to UKRI STFC. The requirement is divided in to two lots: 1) Basic CAD and Drafting; 2) Design and Engineering. The intention is to have up to a maximum 10 compliant bidders in each lot that will be awarded a place on the agreement.

Lot Information

Lot 1: Basic CAD and drafting

Lot 1: Basic CAD and drafting The deliverables will include: * develop detailed CAD Models from existing concept that are manufacture-able using conventional machining techniques; * attend design review meetings at RAL as required; * detail and assembly drawings to be used for manufacture (to BS.8888). For ISIS, the ED&D requirement is for the service provider to: * be easily contactable; * have Solid Edge CAD software of at least version 2020. However, the bidder is expected to keep this up to date in order to meet the contracting authority's requirements; * have staff proficient in the use of Solid Edge; * have standard Office software: Outlook, etc; * have secure file storage and back-up facilities; * be familiar with file transfer techniques; * have staff qualified with an engineering qualification; ONC in Mechanical Engineering as a minimum; * be able to discuss engineering concepts with IDDstaff easily in English; * be able to produce and supply all necessary views as required for design review; * be able to create detailed engineering drawings to BS.8888; * capability to understand general component tolerancing and geometrical tolerancing; * be familiar with engineering concepts, materials, processes, manufacturing, techniques, etc; * visit the RAL site when requested (and appropriate) for design discussions. Video conferencing communication is expected when site access is restricted or inappropriate. The contracting authority expressly reserves the right: (i) not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the procurement; and in no circumstances will the contracting authority be liable for any costs incurred by any supplier.
