Published risks
The primary risk relates to uncertainty of demand and workload, as the notice makes clear that no business is guaranteed under the framework and there is no assurance that any call offs will be awarded creating a foreseeable risk of variability in workload, timing, and mobilisation requirements. This may necessitate modifications to programme delivery or service arrangements to respond to fluctuating demand. The scope of services spans multiple professional disciplines, including quantity surveying, design, engineering, and sustainability services, introducing a foreseeable risk associated with coordination and integration of services. Where integration challenges arise, modifications to delivery approach or scope may be required to ensure effective performance. Finally, the requirement to deliver minor works within live operational college environments creates foreseeable constraints relating to access, phasing, and minimising disruption. These constraints may necessitate changes to programme, sequencing, or delivery methodology during contract execution.

Method

Type

Description
A single Supplier will (subject to the below and terms of the Framework Agreement) be appointed to provide the Services exclusively to each Lot area. There is no restriction on the number of Lots that a Supplier can tender for. In order to provide resilience and to ensure that a greater number of Economic Operators have an opportunity to be appointed to the Framework Agreement, a single Supplier will (subject to the relaxation noted below) only be awarded a maximum of 1 of the 3 Lots. In the event that an insufficient number of Economic Operators are eligible to be awarded a Lot of the Framework Agreement and the Contracting Authorities are therefore unable to award each of the 3 Lots (either at the point at which the Framework Agreement is awarded or at any stage during the term of the Framework Agreement), then: a) the Contracting Authorities may relax the restriction on the number of Lots awarded to one Supplier from 1 Lot to 2 Lots; and b) In the event that, after applying the approach set out at (a) above, there is still an insufficient number of Suppliers eligible to be award a Lot of the Framework Agreement, then the Contracting Authorities may further relax the restriction on the number of Lots that can be awarded to one Supplier from 2 Lots to 3 Lots. The Contracting Authorities will award the Framework Lots in sequence, with the Lot 1 being awarded first, then Lot 2 and then Lot 3. For example, if a Supplier is awarded Lot 1 and it has the highest combined quality/social value/price score in Lot 2 and the highest quality/price score in Lot 3, it will not be eligible for Lot 2 or Lot 3 unless the Contracting Authorities determine that the relaxation set out at (a) and/or (b) above needs to be applied. Suppliers should also note that they will only be eligible for award of a Lot where they have submitted a tender for that particular Lot.
