Dear Nicola,

Test Valley Borough Council's reply to your numbered points listed below
is in blue.

1. How you procure Construction Consultancy Services. Answer-
Construction consultancy services are procured either by at least two
quotations, if the value does not exceed £15000 per annum. If that
figure is exceeded, then procured for preference by framework contract.
As last resort, when it is not considered that value for money can be
achieved by the above methods a tender would be let. Frameworks operated
by IESE and ESPO would be considered as well as searching the OGC website
for appropriate frameworks, which allow Borough Council access and use.
Where specialisms are required, then it would be possible to consider
competitive dialogue or negotiated contracts, though this would be
unusual.

2. How you procure Construction Contractors. Answer- As for consultancy
services, except that it may be appropriate to use a Hampshire County
Council computer generated schedule of rates type contract if the value is
in the permitted range.

3. If by your own framework, please tell me: Answer- No construction
frameworks are presently operated by Test Valley Borough Council.

a. The titles and content of the relevant frameworks

b. Who is on the current frameworks

c. The start and end dates of the frameworks

d. Any possible extension periods to the frameworks

e. The name and contact email of person responsible for the

frameworks.
