Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a market engagement exercise initiated by Hampshire County Council and Devon County Council in preparation for the Southern Construction Framework (SCF) 5. This framework primarily serves public sector clients within South West England, South East England, and London, focusing on construction works valued between £10 million and £30 million. The process is currently in the planning stage, with responses due by 4 PM on 28th March 2022. The SCF operates under a Two Stage Open Book tendering model, encouraging early contractor involvement during the pre-construction phase to enhance pricing structures.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in public sector construction, particularly those familiar with the Two Stage Open Book model. Construction firms of various sizes, especially those equipped to handle large-scale projects, will benefit from competing in this procurement process. The market engagement aims to refine the commercial pricing model, making it imperative for interested contractors to contribute their insights and expertise to strengthen future tender offerings.

    "description": "Hampshire County Council and Devon County Council (The Authorities) have collaborated in the past 7 years to create construction frameworks known as the Southern Construction Framework. The Southern Construction Framework (SCF) serves public sector clients across SW England, SE England and London. Construction projects delivered are commonly in the build range PS10m to PS30m. The SCF operates on a Two Stage Open Book tendering model. This model uses early contractor involvement at RIBA 2, long before a final design is ready for pricing. At framework bid level, all contractors must provide \"Not To Exceed Fee Bids\" in respect of a very comprehensive set of duties as set out below: 1/ Pre construction Fee (for services up to commencement on site) 2/ Design Fee (all disciplines included and split into RIBA stages) 3/ Construction Fee (for the staff required on site during the build) 4/ OHP (off site staff, other indirect cost and profit) The fee bids are expressed as a percentage of net build cost In addition, duties are split out into the various disciplines and stages to allow partial selection of duties and contractors must provide day rates for all staff typically charged to a project. In the Two Stage Open Book price model, the contractor trade packages are tendered using an open book basis, during the preconstruction phase, as the designs are signed off by the project team. Contract Formation for the overall agreed build cost is reached before start on site. The \"Not To Exceed Fee Bid\" pricing at framework level can be improved upon at mini-competition, depending upon the complexity of the project. In SCF 3 (2015 -2019) and SCF 4 (2019 - 2023) the framework level bid also included fully priced models for a standard product (eg primary and secondary schools) in order to test actual build cost. The standard design product was of low interest to clients and given the wide variety of projects that come through the Framework, consideration has been made to remove the template project / standard design from the next generation of the Framework. We conclude that the Two Stage Open Book Price model currently in use by SCF, (and widely used by other contractors and clients), provides all the cost information required for all the duties required over the duration of the project, and that the inclusion of standard cost models at framework bid adds limited benefit to clients. Hence in the next generation of SCF, we do not propose to include a standard cost model. HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE The purpose of this market engagement exercise is to ask of contractors, (who are experienced in the Two Stage Open Book form of contract) - is there any other pricing that could be tested at framework level, that could be of benefit to clients in addition to the fee scales described above for all the duties provided? To respond, please go to: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire Please complete the Questionnaire and submit via In-Tend. CLOSING DATE FOR RESPONSES IS 4pm 28th March 2022",
