Dear Mr Griffiths
With reference to your recent request for information regard the procurement of contractors and construction consultancy services, please find appended the answers to your questions.
1. How you procure Construction Consultancy Services
The Museum would initially confirm whether a national framework contract (eg. Buying Solutions) exists which we could utilise to procure these services. If not we would undertake a competitive tender exercise to procure the services. If the value of the contract / project exceeds the OJEU threshold at the time (currently in excess of £156k), to comply with the EU directives, we would procure the services by advertising the impending contract within the OJEU. If the contract value is lower than the OJEU threshold, we would undertake a competitive tender exercise involving a minimum of 3 suppliers. These can either be national companies or local SME's. The supplier list is generally compiled in relation to the tender specification and the aims and objectives of the brief.
2. How you procure Construction Contractors
The Museum has a framework which was competitively tendered for the Provision of Building Works (Leeds site only). If the procurement exercise falls outside of this contract, we could apply the same procurement rules as above.
