02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Neighbourhood Services currently have 3 contracts in place with external advisors to provide expertise and additional support to key projects. These contracts are due to expire 31st March 2027, Buckinghamshire Council is undertaking procurement for new contracts to replace the current arrangements upon expiry, to ensure the continuation of the required support.
The 3 current contracts, awarded in April 2023 via the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Framework, are for Engineering, Technical, and Financial support and they have assisted on a number of key projects including, but not limited to;
• Energy from Waste (EFW) Litigation
• Development of the High Heavens Waste Complex (HHWC)
• New Buckingham Household Recycling Centre (HRC)
• Persistent Organic Pollutant’s (POPs) Construction Project
• Options appraisal for alternative fuel waste vehicles
• Waste Collection Methodology Options Appraisal and Harmonisation
• HRC Drainage Compliance
Without the expertise and additional resources provided by working with specialist consultants, the Council would find it extremely difficult to deliver these projects to the same standard, timeframe and cost.
Particular areas or expertise that the current arrangements provide include construction, site design, planning application support, ecological surveys, legislative and regulatory positions, market analysis, best practice, financial modelling, and contract documentation drafting.
