02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

To support the Department’s commitment to increase the level of investment in transport, it requires access to specialist technical and commercial advisory support. The Framework will enable access to high quality, professionally qualified and experienced specialist third party advisory support for a range of service requirements which will also be accessible by other public sector entities (Clients) with the consent of DfT.

The two-year term is extendable by two further periods each of 12 months at the discretion of the contracting authority. The values shown are for the full possible 4 year term.

The Framework is split into two Lots. Lot 1 is split into five specialist categories A – E to meet the need for specialist technical and commercial advisory (consultancy) services. Consultants are graded as either Prime, Medium or Expert appointments. Lot 2 is for recruitment and sourcing of specialist staff.

The estimated maximum portfolio value for Lot 1 (Category A - E) is £575,000,000.00.

The estimated maximum portfolio value for Lot 2 (Category F) is £25,000,000.00.
