The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with an estimated contract value of £295,000. The original tender period ended on 11 September 2020, and the contract is set to run until 31 March 2021. This project aims to support the DWP as it expands its operations to meet increased demand for its services prompted by the economic impact of Covid-19, covering regions across the UK including England, Scotland, and Wales. This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in building internal fittings, architectural compliance, and mechanical and engineering services. Businesses that focus on providing design services, construction support, or consultancy in the context of facility expansions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The DWP's ongoing expansion efforts present a valuable market opportunity for firms looking to engage in substantial governmental projects, particularly in light of the increased staffing and operational demands during this challenging economic period. ## Notice As a result of Covid-19, the UK is facing an economic downturn and increased demand for the DWP's services. In order to meet this demand, DWP is hiring thousands of additional staff, and has started work implementing a project to rapidly expand the DWP estate. McBains have produced a Jobcentre Overflow Estate Design Guide for this expanded estate. This requirement is to provide a 'Design Authority Role' and support to DWP throughout this Rapid Estates Expansion Project (REEP). Amongst other services, McBains will review contractor proposals for each new site to provide assurance that these are compliant with the Design Guide, and to highlight any relevant considerations within the fields of architecture and mechanical and engineering, plumbing and heating. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9991c87-a749-48ed-89b8-a0a7d9604306 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Dec 2020 | | Contract period | 4 Dec 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £295,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £295,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 7UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England), TLL Wales, TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials;
