Notice Title
22096 2023 Archaeological Fieldwork Services for Cambridgeshire County Council
Notice Description
As a developer, the council and its agents have obligations towards mitigating the impact caused by its projects on the historic environment. This includes the need for archaeological investigations. This framework ensures the most productive and cost-effective suppliers of commercial fieldwork services are available to the council It is anticipated the value of this framework will range between PS2.5m and PS3.5m, depending on the requirements of the County Council and the Greater Cambridge Partnership throughout the term of the framework. This requirement is not split into Lots, as the Authorities require 3 individual providers to service this requirement, for ease of management and to drive efficiencies.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Authority proposes to enter into a framework agreement with 3 providers for an initial period of 36 months with the preferred bidders, with an option to extend for 12 months, making 48 months in total. All work under this framework shall be awarded via one of 2 routes: by approaching the provider who finishes in 1st place in the initial framework evaluation, and then if they are unable to service the requirement approaching the 2nd placed bidder and so on, or Running a further competition where all providers shall be invited to submit a project specific proposal for a discrete piece of work. In the event such further competitions take place, the responses shall be evaluated 60% on the quality element and 40% on price. The anticipated framework commencement date is mid-October 2023. It is difficult to predict the exact value of this contract as it shall be extensively used by the Greater Cambridge Partnership (https://www.greatercambridge.org.uk/) and is open to all public bodies within Cambridgeshire, and Authorities' requirements are likely to vary over the contract term, but it is estimated that the total value will not be less than PS2,500,000 or greater than PS3,500,000. The above figures are calculated by allocating the estimated (but not guaranteed) spends of Cambridgeshire County Council (or customers using the services of the Council) equating to approximately PS625,000 pa, with an allowance of an additional PS1,000,000 in total (also not guaranteed) from other bodies accessing this framework
Options: The Authority proposes to enter into a framework agreement with 3 providers for an initial period of 36 months with the preferred bidders, with an option to extend for 12 months, making 48 months in total.
Renewal: The Authority proposes to enter into a framework agreement with 3 providers for an initial period of 36 months with the preferred bidders, with an option to extend for 12 months, making 48 months in total.
