The first piece of work we need from you is the development a building-focused climate adaptation and decarbonisation plan for both V&A South Kensington and Young V&A including thermal modelling. This will be a six month project. For more information about this project, please log on to Delta where we have uploaded a Brief. We're looking for a supplier that can work with us now and for future building projects. For that reason, we are setting this contract up as a single supplier Framework to allow us to purchase services as and when we need them over the next four years. We want the knowledge that you gain from the decarb plan to benefit our future gallery refurbishment projects. While you're here, why not have a look at our sustainability page? You can find our edie-nominated climate action plan, our supplier sustainability charter, and a whole load of other great information too. https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/sustainability Please note that whilst we have stated the framework value is PS450k, we don't have any way of accurately estimating the value of call-off contracts that will be placed using this framework.

We will evaluate Stage One Tenders to create a shortlist of suppliers to take through to the presentation stage at Stage Two. At Stage Two of the procurement process, we will invite the top highest scoring 3-5 tenderers from Stage One of the process and invite them to attend a presentation and interview session. This session, along with price, will be scored to determine the most advantageous tender and the supplier that submitted that tender will be appointed the Framework subject to contract. We reserve all our rights under the Procurement Act 2023, including the right to add additional stages to the process and the right to refine award criteria between stages. The award criteria set out in this notice are for Stage One only.
