Applications invited to join consultancy services public sector framework
Applications invited to join consultancy services public sector framework
Specialist construction, asset management, and energy (EPC) consultants can now apply to join a new framework to provide consultancy services for the construction of public sector buildings and homes.
The Consultancy Services (CS1) framework from public sector construction framework provider LHC, the central hub of WPA, will enable public sector procurement teams to source a range of consultancy services – including architecture, civil and structural engineering and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing – from trusted suppliers already recognised for their specialist expertise.
It expands on WPA’s existing consultancy framework by including additional services required by public sector bodies to procure expert advisory services for their construction projects. Placing them under one umbrella makes it easier for procurement teams to source the range of services they need and provides a more efficient procurement route.
The new framework covers all LHC regions including Wales, through Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA)
Dean Fazackerley, Head of Technical Procurement at LHC, said:
“Our aim is always to provide the tools to enable procurement teams to identify and secure the services they need as efficiently as possible. The new CS1 framework supports this aim by bringing together a number of consultancy services required giving procurement teams easier access to a wide range of specialist consultancy services.
“As well as supporting an efficient procurement process, we hope the opportunity to join this framework will encourage applications from a wider variety of suppliers and present an opportunity for SMEs to apply for the framework and develop closer links with the public sector, and we have set out award procedures to support this”
Suppliers can apply to join the CS1 framework from the 11th of August 2022. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/LHC/aspx/Tenders/Current
