The Royal Parks (TRP) invited tenders to establish a framework contract for project support services (project management and full design team services).

TRP inviting tenders for project support services in three lots, as set out below.

Framework suppliers were required to assist and have assisted TRP's Project Team within the estates and projects directorate and other TRP staff in designing, managing and delivering projects, providing a full range of design engineering services, planning services and technical services.

Due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances outside of the Authority's control, and other factors the Authority has seen significantly higher reliance on the Framework than originally forecast when procured in 2020/2021 including the increase in current requirements.

The Authority's requirements demand continued ability to place contracts within the scope of the Framework in order to meet current and future operational needs and respond to evolving circumstances including those referenced above.

Recognising the need for a long-term solution, the Authority has planned to undertake the re-procurement of the Framework, including arranging access to relevant third-party Framework(s) to provide a sustainable basis for meeting the project support and delivery requirements.

In the short term however, the Authority considers it necessary to: i) increase the upper value limit of the Framework from £1,400,000 to £5,700,000 and ii) recognise for the Lot 2 services provider DMA David Morley Architects LLP reference to several of the disciplines includes for several services to be provided by the agreed sub-consultants to DMA.

This value uplift will enable more of the services tendered to be called-off the Framework that are necessary for The Royal Parks to address the projected demand for the project support services and RIBA stage work to specify, plan and manage, control and monitor the essential repairs, refurbishments and modernisations required.

This value uplift is needed, prior to the re-procurement of a successor Framework to prevent workflow disruption to the project delivery operations the Authority must achieve and mitigate the risks the Authority would face as a result of any such disruptions.

This value uplift is considered by the Authority to be a necessary step as waiting for the new procurement could not be completed in a satisfactory manner before the values listed in the original contract notice are exhausted for the current Framework.

Without this value increase alternative measures would entail significant inconveniences and delays to the services for the dependent construction works and result in a potential increase in costs for the Authority and failures to deliver the works needed.

The economic operators originally appointed to the Framework Lot 1 uplifted to £3183000, Lot 2 uplifted to £2165000 and Lot 3 uplifted to £352000 are the same as those that will be engaged during the remaining period of the Framework for 48 months and with call-offs.
