Procurement Method Details
Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The contract was awarded by way of a direct award under the University of Birmingham Build Higher Framework, a framework agreement that was established in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. MGAC LLP is an appointed supplier under the framework and the framework rules permit direct award for the services required. The contracting authority considered that a further call for competition was not required because the relevant framework agreement contained terms governing the award of the contract and identified the suppliers capable of providing the services. The award was therefore made in accordance with the framework agreement and the applicable procurement regulations. The services comprise specialist quantity surveying and cost consultancy support for Aston University's Energy Centre project, including cost management, value engineering, procurement support and post-contract commercial management. The award to MGAC LLP was made in accordance with the framework provisions and represented a lawful call-off from an existing competitively established framework agreement.
