This opportunity falls under the engineering industry category and is located in Oxfordshire, England. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with bids due by 11 September 2020 at 14:00 GMT. The project is structured in two lots: Basic CAD and Drafting, and Design and Engineering, with a total estimated value of £800,000. The framework is intended to award places to the top 10 compliant bidders based on quality and price evaluation, facilitating mini-competitions for individual project requirements post-award. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering design services, particularly those with expertise in Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are strongly encouraged to participate, as they would be well-suited to meet the procurement requirements. Those capable of addressing the distinct needs within the CAD and engineering fields can leverage this framework to secure ongoing contracts through competitive bidding processes following the initial award. Engaging with this framework can foster long-term business growth and enhance organisational reputation within a vital sector supporting UK research and innovation. ## Notice A component part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) which is one of Europe's largest multidisciplinary research organisations supporting scientists and engineers world-wide. It operates world-class large-scale research facilities at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Oxfordshire; the Daresbury Laboratory (DL), Cheshire; and the UK ATC, Edinburgh; provides strategic advice to the government on their development and manages international research projects in support of a broad cross-section of the UK research community: - Suppliers are required by the STFC to provide engineering design and drawing services (ED & D) to RAL, DL and other associated sites. The work will be required to be carried out off site and then delivered to UKRI STFC. UKRI STFC engineers and designers in all the above areas provide mechanical and electrical engineering expertise to all divisions. This involves working with scientists and other engineers to create new facilities from concept through to commissioning and operation. UKRI STFC currently uses a variety of CAD packages and the task of detailing designs is given to sub-contractors, either on or off-site, as and when the need arises. Suppliers are expected to follow the guidelines issued in the local procedures specific to the relevant department. The requirement is divided in to two Lots; 1. Basic CAD and Drafting 2. Design and Engineering The intention is to have up to a maximum 10 compliant bidders in each Lot that will be awarded a place on this Framework. To achieve these desired numbers, bidders will be ranked as a result of the award criteria. All bidders that pass the pass/fail selection and award questions will then be evaluated on quality and price and the highest scoring 10 bidders will be awarded a place on the relevant framework Lot that they have applied for. Bidders may apply for one or both Lots. Once the framework agreement commences, mini-competitions will be conducted within the relevant Lot for the award of individual requirements.
