Notice Title

Professional Consultancy Services for Planning, Design, Engineering and Place Services 2023

Notice Description

The core of the services sought relate to a range of engineering, transportation, planning and related consultancy services to facilitate highways and transport delivery in Somerset. A unitary Council will be created in Somerset from 1 April 2023 which will broaden the potential pipeline of place-based activity and infrastructure projects for which consultancy support may be required. This will be formed by combining Somerset County Council, Mendip District Council, Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset West and Taunton District Council and South Somerset District Council. These will form a single authority to be known as Somerset Council. Project Provision - The Authority has a range of in-house resources to undertake much of their design, engineering requirements but has more limited resources for specialist activity such as transportation planning, traffic modelling, flood and water management and other specialist services. Support is required for these in-house resources on a call-off basis over a wide and diverse range of professional consultancy services with a core focus on highways and transportation but also including support from time to time for other place services. Service Provision - From time-to-time the Authority may require the Supplier to provide embedded teams of suitably experienced staff to provide both statutory and non-statutory services. This could be one or more staff for a fixed period of time which could extend to several years or the term of the contract.
