This four-year agreement, valued between £55m and £112m, aims to support regional infrastructure projects and will be accessible to various UK public sector bodies. The tender, under an open procedure, has a tender period ending on 29th September 2023, for services in research and development, environmental services, consulting, and project management. This opportunity presents a chance for suppliers with multi-disciplinary capabilities to engage in projects for the West of England Combined Authority. Businesses in the service industry, particularly those involved in research, consultancy, and project management, are well-suited to compete for a spot on this framework agreement. The CA seeks suppliers aligned with its business objectives and values to support rapid project delivery within the specified contract period starting from 1st January 2024. ## Notice The West of England Combined Authority, in collaboration with Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Bath and North East Somerset Council, is establishing a four-year Professional Services Framework Agreement to support our regional infrastructure projects. This Framework Agreement will have a single lot incorporating a number specialisms detailed within the Scope of Requirements. It is our intention to award up to six Suppliers a place on the Framework agreement (except in the unlikely event that two Suppliers are within 1% of winning sixth place, in which case we reserve the right to include a seventh Supplier). Each Supplier is expected to have multi-disciplinary capability or access to deliver the contracts/work packages granted under the Framework Agreement. It is estimated that the Framework Agreement will have a value of between PS55m and PS112m over the four-year term. The Framework can be utilised by all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including but not limited to: local authorities, health, police, fire and rescue, education and devolved administrations. Use of the Framework by these other bodies will be via an access agreement issued by the West of England Combined Authority. The CA aims to appoint suppliers who have the capabilities and capacity to support the delivery of its business and strategic objectives at pace and who will share the CA's ethos and values.
