## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Bromford involves the establishment of a Design Services Framework, with a total contract value of £4,500,000. This process is currently in the tender stage, set to conclude on 3rd June 2021. The framework is designed for architectural, engineering, and inspection services, focusing on significant projects in the UK, particularly in Tewkesbury where Bromford's headquarters is located. The framework will be divided into various Lots, including services for Project Architects and Engineers, aimed at supporting feasibility studies, planning, and redesigns as needed for compliance with planning requirements. The contract period extends from 23rd August 2021 to 22nd August 2025.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in architectural and engineering services to expand their business. Firms capable of delivering feasibility studies, site appraisals, and ongoing design support will be particularly well-positioned to compete for these Lots. With the UK's shift towards 'standard' housing types, businesses that can efficiently respond to design and regulatory challenges will find significant avenues for growth through their involvement in this framework.

## Notice

The scope for this procurement process is to establish an overarching Design services framework agreement with a small number of competitively selected design consultants. Bromford are moving towards 'standard' house types, however, without in-house capability we will still need the services of designers to carry out feasibility studies and site appraisals plus support the planning process and re-design where required to meet planning requirements. The framework will be divided into Lots covering Project Architect, Project Structural Engineer and Project Civil Engineer. Lot 1 - Project Architect (below 50 units) for Feasibility, Planning and Detailed Design stages. Inclusive of site appraisal, planning pack, site-specific working drawings and ongoing support through the construction stage. Lot 2 - Project Architect (above 50 units) for Feasibility, Planning and Detailed Design stages. Inclusive of site appraisal, planning pack, site-specific working drawings and ongoing support through the construction stage. Lot 3 - Project Structural Engineer for Feasibility and Detailed Design stages. Inclusive of preliminary information, detailed designs and ongoing support through the construction stage. Lot 4 - Project Civil Engineer for Feasibility, Planning and Detailed Design stages. Inclusive of site appraisal, planning pack, site-specific detailed design and ongoing support through the construction stage.
