Procurement and Framework Information

The request was partially successful.

Dear Royal College of Art,

I would be grateful if you could please provide me with the following information on the University’s procurement process.

1. How the University procures Construction Consultancy Services?

2. If by your own framework, please advise:
a. The titles and content of the relevant frameworks
b. The start and end dates of the frameworks
c. Any possible extension periods to the frameworks
d. The companies appointed under the current frameworks (in relation to Construction Consultancy Services)

3. If there is not framework in place how do the University typically procure construction consultancy under and over OJEU value thresholds and if not a Trust procured framework which frameworks do you typically use?

Yours faithfully,

Ms C Harrison

Dear Ms C Harrison,
 
Regarding your recent freedom of information request, please see our
responses below.

 
We do not operate our own framework. We have historically used the Home &
Communities Framework for these services, more details here:
[1]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/technical-pa...
We tend to always use an established framework rather than setting up our
own arrangements and will monitor which framework works best for us moving
forward.

If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled, you may
make a complaint by writing to me within two calendar months of the date
of this response. Your complaint will be considered by an adjudicator who
was not involved in the original consideration of your request.
 
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may then
contact the Information Commissioner’s Office: Information Commissioner,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Kind regards,

Georgina Hart
