3891.EFM.JR.23 - Multi Disciplinary Consultancy (Construction Professional Services)

The University wishes to appoint a panel of multi-disciplinary consultants to an agreement for a period of up-to eight (8) years. Consultants from the panel will be appointed to deliver services for specific projects on a call-off basis as and when a requirement arises. This multi-disciplinary consultancy services framework is intended to involve the construction works led by a project management/building surveying service together with CORE functions of cost management, contract management and CDM Principal Designer together with the facility to sub consult out to NON-CORE additional disciplines including architectural design, MEP, structural & civil engineering design services. Whilst consultants are required to be able to access these NON-CORE additional disciplines via their supply chain, the Consultant MUST also be able to use and work with other selected University approved consultants for NON-CORE disciplines where applicable, and this will be the default position.

Fees will be applied to projects in the range of zero up to 5 million nett construction value excluding costs associated with design team fees, fixed furniture and equipment, ICT infrastructure and specialist research equipment installation works. VAT is excluded.

Please note that the University expect that the multi-disciplinary appointment will also provide ALL CORE professional design team services in house (i.e. via full time employees directly employed by the consultant's organisation):

•CDM Principal Designer •Project Management •Cost Management •Building Surveying •Contract Management

In addition to the above we anticipate that the Multi-Disciplinary appointment will also either directly provide or sub consult if required the additional NON-CORE professional design team services namely: •Architectural •Mechanical, Electrical and Public Heath (MEP) •Structural & Civil

Additional scope of services will be provided for each of the above professional design team services.

Consultants appointed as multi-disciplinary may also be required to source other related services either directly or via a supply chain partner. This will be determined on a case by case basis. Such services may include but not be limited to consultancy related to:-

•Landscape Designer / Architect •Asbestos •Geotechnical •Acoustician •building information modelling (BIM) •Lighting •Transport, planning and infrastructure design •Accessibility •Any other relevant discipline including survey work
