The framework agreement shall be tendered on behalf of the University of Edinburgh and all University of Edinburgh Subsidiary Companies. All of the University of Edinburgh's Subsidiary Companies may access and utilise the framework agreement at any time during the life of the framework period. Projects types and services will include a mixture (but not limited to) of: - Project types: Alterations and refurbishment associated with new occupation, changes of and upgrade of facilities; Adaptations and extensions of existing buildings; Maintenance works and New build works (including demolition of existing buildings). - Services: Contract administration and employer's representative services; Peer reviews and due diligence services; Facilitation of value engineering and risk workshops and supporting in the preparation of funding bids and supplying information for rating assessors and the like. This includes the provision of infrastructure works either when associated to the main project scope or as a standalone infrastructure project. The Quantity Surveying services shall include the preparation of a Bill of Quantities or a Contract Sum Analysis, Employer's Requirements or a Schedule of Works, as appropriate dependent on procurement approach and University's instruction/preference. The service providers (appointed QS consultant) needs to have a thorough working knowledge of works contracts, for example but not limited to NEC, JCT and ICE and support the University in the use of a variety of procurement arrangements including collaborative working and framework arrangements i.e. mini competitions using SCAPE and CCS framework agreements. The University may utilise Design Team and Contractor Framework Agreements and the service provider will need to familiarise themselves with the ethos and operational details of these Framework Agreements. The service provider should allow for regular and frequent project team meetings throughout the project, necessary for full co-ordination of the project as well as framework performance reviews in relation to agreed key performance indicators and service level agreements. The framework will be divided into three Lots in accordance with value bands as detailed below. Bidders will be allowed to bid for one or more Lots: -Lot 1 Maintenance/Small Works Projects up to a contract value of GBP 2.5M -Lot 2 New Build/Refurbishment Projects with a value over GBP 2.5M and up to GBP 10M -Lot 3 New Build/Refurbishment Projects with a value over GBP 10M The University intends to invite the top scoring suppliers, who have met all pre-conditions, on to the framework, as per: Lot 1: 6 service providers; Lot 2: 3 service providers; Lot 3: 3 service providers. For each Lot, there will be the option to award contracts either by direct award on a rotational basis or mini competition.",
