The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including the deadline for Supplier Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) submissions on 2nd July 2021 and an anticipated award date of 29th October 2021. This multi-supplier framework is valued at approximately £5 million over four years, with possibilities for expansion based on further demand. This framework presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in engineering services, particularly those equipped to offer comprehensive multi-disciplinary capabilities as lead consultants. Ideal candidates include experienced firms capable of managing projects ranging from small commissions under £50,000 to larger undertakings exceeding £1 million. Additionally, organisations representing contracting authorities across England are encouraged to participate, highlighting the potential for growth amid increased local demand for coastal and flood management services. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council ('the council') on behalf of the Southern Coastal Group (SCG) and SCOPAC (the Regional Coastal Group for central southern England), is inviting requests to participate, from suitably qualified consultants for inclusion onto a multi-supplier Coastal, Flood & Infrastructure Professional Services Framework Agreement. The framework is due to be awarded on 29th October 2021 and will run for a period of four years from its commencement which is anticipated to be in December 2021. The established framework will consist of six suppliers split over two tiers. Tier 1 will consist of 3-4 suppliers. Tier 2 will consist of 2-3 suppliers and will act as a contingency resource. All suppliers must have the ability to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary services within the role of lead consultant. The framework will be available to all current and future SCG and SCOPAC members who are classified as Contacting Authorities. In addition, the framework will also be accessible to all contracting authorities situated within England. The value of the framework is estimated to be in the region of PS5M over 4 years based upon the forecast requirements of SCG and SCOPAC members. In the event of further schemes or take up by other Contracting Authorities across England, the total value of the framework could increase to up to PS50M, however a figure PS15M is more likely. The average value of commissions called off via the framework by SCG and SCOPAC is likely to range from PS150K to PS500K. However, there is also likely to be frequent commissions below PS50K and on occasion in excess of PS1million. Once established, contracting authorities will have a variety of call-off mechanisms and contracting options available for use which include for both mini-competition and direct award options. Call-off contracts will be let using either the NEC4 PSC or TSC in either the long or short form and with the choice of all options as proportionate and relevant to the services which are being commissioned. The framework will be established using the Restricted Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). The council anticipates shortlisting a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 suppliers from assessment of returned Supplier Selection Questionnaire submissions who will then be invited to tender.
