Description

The Strategic Asset Management team are responsible for all of the asset information for all of the different asset groupings that exist within the portfolio of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Due to various existing arrangements coming to an end and new services required the WMCA requires a new framework consisting of the following Lots: - Lot 1 - BIM - Lot 2 - Inspections - Lot 3 - Small Works - Lot 4 - Structures The WMCA is looking to establish a six years maximum term Framework Agreement with one supplier for Lots 1 and 4 to ensure consistency over that period and then multi-sourcing with a minimum of 4 suppliers envisaged for Lot 2 in total with a sole supplier for vacant land and building inspections and mini competitions for ad-hoc surveys. Lot 3, due to the potential variety of works, will be issued via mini competition to ensure competitiveness across the period. A longer-term framework is required due to the extended timescales within Lot 4 in relation to the inspection programme for continuity. Bidders can apply to be included for any or all Lots of the framework. Bids are being assessed on the basis of 60% price and 40% quality for all Lots apart from Lot 3 which is 70% price and 30% quality.
