This procurement falls within the category of community, social, and personal services, primarily aimed at assisting with medium and small-sized projects over the next few years. The tender period closes on 18 September 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 15 October 2020, with a duration until 30 September 2023. The estimated budget for the works is approximately £400,000, with individual project values ranging between £2,000 and £150,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in quantity surveying, engineering, and project management, especially those familiar with public sector regulations and community projects. Companies that can effectively demonstrate their ability to collaborate with local authorities and manage medium to small-sized projects will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this contract may not only enhance service portfolios but also establish long-term partnerships with Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council, paving the way for future projects and support arrangements. ## Notice Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council is seeking assistance to help design and specify works, liaise with stakeholders, draw up contracts and then procure and supervise various works. The Parish Council will be undertaking a number of medium and small sized projects over the next several years and is seeking professional assistance to deliver those schemes and to be in compliance with its Financial Regulations (See Attachments: the relevant sections are 10, 11 and 12). It is assumed that such assistance will be procured via a call off schedule of hourly rates for Quantity Surveying, Engineering, Project Management, and other relevant expertise. The likely works budget is in the region of PS400,000 (initially from CIL receipts) over the next 3-5 years and it is probable that there will be about six medium sized schemes with values between PS20,000 and PS150,000. There will also be a number of small pieces of work we would want help with, ranging in value PS2,000 up to PS20,000. It should be emphasised that these figures are open to considerable change as budgets have to be agreed and public consultation carried out before the projects can go ahead. Three examples of projects that have been agreed for progress are enclosed with Attachments - see Annex 1. If you would be interested in entering into such an arrangement could you please provide: * An outline of how you consider such a partnership can be made to work. * Any materials demonstrating your understanding of the brief. In particular, any experience of working at this scale of operations. * Outline proposed terms and conditions. * Any other particulars, or proposals, which you think may assist the Parish Council. * An indication whether you would be willing to take part in a video conferencing call with a small group of councillors to discuss your outline proposals. If you would like to discuss this further please contact the Parish Clerk the.clerk@stratfield-mortimer.gov.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6dddca6-76e7-4aa0-aa5b-3fd5fb34b9ae | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Not Specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Oct 2020 - 30 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STRATFIELD MORTIMER PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | READING | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG7 3SH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | West Berkshire | | Electoral ward | Burghfield & Mortimer | | Westminster constituency | Reading West and Mid Berkshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 28 Aug 2020 at 14:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6dddca6-76e7-4aa0-aa5b-3fd5fb34b9ae ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6dddca6-76e7-4aa0-aa5b-3fd5fb34b9ae 28th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e464eea9-cd9e-4e40-863f-bd4d872d4a93 SMPC Financial Regulations - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6f614561-df9a-4d2b-8dcc-5718fe5ebf29 Examples of Projects - https://www.stratfield-mortimer.gov.uk/Stratfield-Mortimer-PC/projects_consultation-3866.aspx Background on SMPC's public projects consultation - Jan 2020 ## Notice URLs - https://www.stratfield-mortimer.gov.uk/Stratfield-Mortimer-PC/Default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
