The Hyde Group wishes to establish an Architectural Services Framework, Employers Agents (Including CDM-C and Cost Consultancy) Framework and Construction Management Framework.

THG has a significant development programme, and it is anticipated that approximately 1 000 units per annum could be delivered through the Framework Agreements across the geographical areas of operation (mainly London, the South East, the East of England and the East Midlands).

The estimated contract value during the life of the three year architects framework is between 5 600 000 and 6 800 000 GBP excluding VAT.

THG are seeking a refined framework list of 4 - 8 Architects per lot, 4 - 8 Employers Agents per lot and 4 - 6 Construction Managers. THG are seeking a collaborative approach to the framework which is centred on a partnering ethos.

The successful economic operators appointed to the Framework will be required to provide a customer focused service and show commitment to providing value for money to Hyde and must be responsive to achieve collaborative working practices, innovation and continuous improvement. The Framework and any contracts called-off under the Framework will contain provisions covering regular monthly, quarterly and annual performance meetings reviews; early termination; meeting, maintaining and improving on Key Performance Indicators and the development of project by project efficiency savings. Economic operators should note that the estimated total value of purchases for the entire duration of the Framework given under section II.1.4 has been calculated by reference to the total estimated value of the call-off contracts to be awarded under the Framework.
