Lot Division

1 Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria

The Architects Cutting Edge Framework is for the provision of architectural services for residential-led development projects and is split into 3 geographical lots. However, the CEF Consortium Members will reserve the right to use service providers successful on one geographical lot, within the same work stream, in another geographical lot, when no service provider within the geographical lot in question is available to undertake the relevant works and value for money can be established. The CEF Consortium Members are committed to the use of the Architects Cutting Edge Framework, and therefore bidders should anticipate that the overall value of the framework would be in line with the values identified within this contract notice. This Lot is for projects in North West England from Cheshire to Cumbria (the area as more accurately described on the plan in the procurement documents) (the "Lot 1 Regions"). Riverside is looking to establish a framework of providers of architectural services for significant development works in the Lot 1 Regions which may include but shall not be limited to: 1. sites for residential use; 2. mixed-use residential-led sites; 3.

Demolition, site remediation, infrastructure and enabling works to prepare sites for residential or mixed-use development; 8. Design and construction of homes; and 9. Self-build or custom build enabling as part of a larger development. As minimum requirements, Riverside will expect, amongst other things, that the successful bidders will: 1. be capable of delivering the services in accordance with the Standard Agreement 2010 (2012 revision), the RIBA Standard Conditions of Appointment for an Architect 2010 (2012 revision) and Plan of Work 2013 as published by the Royal Institute of British Architects or an institution or association of equivalent standing in this field ("RIBA"); 2. hold appropriate qualifications accredited by RIBA as required for the delivery of architectural services; 3. be a member of RIBA and/or an institution or association of equivalent standing in this field; 4. be capable of acting as Lead Consultant and directing the design process, co-ordinating design of all constructional elements, including work by any consultants, specialists or suppliers on projects of a similar size, value and scope as those that shall be carried out pursuant to the Architects Cutting Edge Framework; 5. be capable of delivering the relevant services on projects of a similar size, value and scope as those that shall be carried out pursuant to the Architects Cutting Edge Framework; 6. be capable of delivering excellent customer care and an appreciation of the importance of maintaining clear and regular communication with clients at every stage of the project; and 7. be capable of delivering the required services in accordance with the terms of the Architect Scope of Service which are set out in the procurement documents. The full details of Riverside's minimum requirements will be set out in the ITT. The procurement will involve a two stage process following the Public Contract Regulations 2015 restricted procedure. The framework agreement will be established for a period of 4 years. The overall value of this lot is ?2,600,000 - ?3,200,000. Additional information: The Cutting Edge Frameworks have been established with a view towards the sharing of costs, resources and best practice as well as the cost-effective and efficient delivery of excellent residential-led development projects across England.
