Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Framework - Peterborough City Council

Peterborough City Council is establishing a Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Framework under solicitation DN827148 to provide a wide array of professional services for its corporate property stock. The framework is estimated to have a total value of 30 million GBP excluding VAT and is expected to run for four years from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2031. Services are divided into six lots, including building surveying, mechanical, electrical and public health, CDM and health and safety, and fire engineering and building safety. The scope encompasses a broad range of expertise such as planning, structural engineering, quantity surveying, and heritage consultancy. The framework utilizes the RICS Standard Form of Consultant's Appointment (May 2022, revised April 2025) with 16 specific amendments. Award decisions are based on a default quality-to-cost ratio of 60:40, with the lowest compliant fee receiving maximum cost marks. Key requirements include adherence to the Building Safety Act 2022, DSEAR regulations, and CDM obligations. There is a strong emphasis on local provision, requiring consultants to demonstrate a presence in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire or provide a plan to establish one within six months, alongside commitments to social value, apprenticeships, and net-zero targets. The estimated award decision date is February 16, 2027.
