Potential Bidders should note that the requirement will be for the delivery of all of the “Services” as defined in the tender documentation for both Employers’ Agent and Principal Designer.

The Framework Agreement will be awarded initially for a 2 year period, with the ability to extend for a further 2 year period subject to satisfactory performance against agreed Key Performance Indicators.

The indicative value per Lot is:
