This agreement will span three years, commencing from 20 May 2021, with an option to extend for an additional year. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, and the contract will cover a range of professional disciplines, including civil engineering, environmental services, and project management. The open procedure method was employed for this procurement, which concluded on 22 January 2021, and the operational framework is designed to facilitate mini-competitions for packages of work above a specified threshold value. This framework agreement presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in civil and structural engineering consultancy, environmental planning, and traffic management solutions. Companies that are agile and capable of delivering comprehensive technical services will find this contract attractive, especially those with experience in partnership with local authorities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework aims to support competitive bidding while enhancing the service capabilities of the Council's design and local network teams. ## Notice Lancashire County Council intends to enter into a two-provider agreement for the provision of professional and technical services. The framework agreement will be for three years with the option to extend for one further year. The agreement will deliver services in the following professional disciplines: Civil engineering (highway, bridges and drainage designs) and geotechnical services; environmental services and including urban design planning and public realm regeneration; traffic modelling, transport planning services, intelligent transport systems and new mobility solutions; asset management; building structural engineering; project management; and grant bid preparation. The framework agreement will provide additional ""top up"" services to the Council's in-house design, asset and local network teams to assist the delivery of professional/technical input to the services listed above. The framework agreement will establish a threshold value whereby all packages of work under that threshold will be offered to the highest scoring tenderer throughout the term of the agreement. Packages of work above the threshold value will be subject to mini-competition between the two providers awarded onto the framework. Please view the tender documentation for further information regarding the operation of the framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3825132e-6603-4867-9494-1698254da2b9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | 19 May 2021 - 19 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £15,600,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | ATKINS; JACOBS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71312000 - Structural engineering consultancy services - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71315200 - Building consultancy services - 71322500 - Engineering-design services for traffic installations - 71351500 - Ground investigation services - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 4 May 2021 at 09:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3825132e-6603-4867-9494-1698254da2b9 - 7 Dec 2020 at 13:21 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb853d1d-5d24-45c6-a04c-d7b38bd7fee0 - 16 Nov 2020 at 12:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb853d1d-5d24-45c6-a04c-d7b38bd7fee0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3825132e-6603-4867-9494-1698254da2b9 4th May 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb853d1d-5d24-45c6-a04c-d7b38bd7fee0 7th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/isupplier/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
