The contract, valued at £26,821 GBP, involves project management and consultancy services for construction project management as part of the CPV classification. The contract was awarded on September 30, 2023, with a contract period from October 1, 2023, to February 6, 2024. The tender was initiated on July 8, 2021, and completed on July 8, 2021. This contract presents business growth opportunities for companies providing construction project management and consultancy services in the United Kingdom, particularly in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West regions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in project management consultancy services are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The tender method used was "Other -", and the procurement is related to "services". ## Notice A modification request was submitted to increase the frequency of project meetings and site visits compared to what was initially agreed. The complexity of the project and tight deadline required more frequent meetings in order to progress within the defined timescales. The programme itself had been extended due to multiple issues arising across several partners relating to contractual agreement, procurement, European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) compliance and volatile economic circumstances. CPR 9.3.1(b) permits the council to modify contracts where additional services are required and where a change of contractor cannot be made for economical or technical reasons, or where a change of contractor would cause duplication of costs or an inconvenience for the Council, provided the value of the modification is less than 50% of the original contract value. The value of the contract exceeds the original budget estimated value by PS1,861.68 (1.8%). Due to the complexity of the project an extension of time for circa 4 months is required together with a need for additional meetings at a cost of less 50% of the original contract value. It would be impractical and result in an unnecessary duplication of costs to change supplier at this juncture in the project. Reliance on CPR 9.3.1(b) is reasonable in the circumstances. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6bf08db-defa-4986-986e-63f705a3c410 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 15 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2023 - 6 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £26,821 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £187,825 | | 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 | ROCHDALE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | ROCHDALE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL & SALFORD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SALE | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M33 7ZF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Trafford | | Electoral ward | Sale Central | | Westminster constituency | Wythenshawe and Sale East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LOCOGEN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 71541000 - Construction project management services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Dec 2023 at 17:13 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6bf08db-defa-4986-986e-63f705a3c410 - 15 Dec 2023 at 17:12 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf5e3d1e-d062-4238-a0f9-19f49746461e - 15 Dec 2023 at 17:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b6c180c-aac5-4072-98de-92b2abebce16 - 19 Jun 2023 at 15:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f27cf7b-4398-46a8-a8c5-7b6011d74d99 - 5 Apr 2022 at 14:03 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4729d827-bbac-43ef-bc64-afbb7dbdd0ad - 5 Apr 2022 at 13:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c7ecf48-98ff-47ee-b1cf-3771900a6d9c - 8 Jul 2021 at 12:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc831b1c-6804-4010-b5ae-f6a71ed4be80 - 8 Jul 2021 at 11:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0e5d7b3-8c5d-4cf1-8ae2-5d6e0421d23b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6bf08db-defa-4986-986e-63f705a3c410 15th December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf5e3d1e-d062-4238-a0f9-19f49746461e 15th December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b6c180c-aac5-4072-98de-92b2abebce16 15th December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f27cf7b-4398-46a8-a8c5-7b6011d74d99 19th June 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4729d827-bbac-43ef-bc64-afbb7dbdd0ad 5th April 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c7ecf48-98ff-47ee-b1cf-3771900a6d9c 5th April 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc831b1c-6804-4010-b5ae-f6a71ed4be80 8th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0e5d7b3-8c5d-4cf1-8ae2-5d6e0421d23b 8th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
