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 Framework Agreement with one supplier for Lot 1 and one supplier for Lot 4 to ensure consistency in advice and a minimum of 4 suppliers in total for Lot 2 with a sole supplier for the vacant land and building inspections element and at least three suppliers for the ad-hoc surveys element awarded via mini competitions. 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 of six years is required due to the extended timescales within Lot 4 to meet the WMCA's cyclical inspection programme. Bidders can apply to be included for any or all Lots of the framework and this is a retender which was originally tendered earlier in 2021. 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.
