The overall programme is currently valued at approximately £110M. Delivery is expected to utilise a combination of existing contracts (e.g. PFIs and Regional Delivery frameworks) alongside the procurement of new contracts for major refurbishment works. The estimated value of these major refurbishments is approximately £35M, with potential for further increase, and projects are geographically distributed across the UK. The TSP will be required to provide multi-disciplinary support across the programme lifecycle. The anticipated scope of services includes: - Assessment Studies - Project Management Support - NEC4 Administration - Design - Support to Procurement Activity - Technical Support and Advice - Support/Evidence to Full Business Case The Authority is currently considering procurement and packaging options for the TSP services. Potential approaches include: - A staged contracting model, with an initial contract for assessment studies followed by subsequent contracts for later RIBA stages; or - A single contract arrangement, incorporating optional services to be called off as the programme progresses - The potential to structure delivery on either a UK-wide basis or through regional lots, reflecting the geographical spread of the programme. The estimated value of the initial assessment studies is approximately £640K.
