II.1.4) Short description

The Palace of Westminster is an internationally important heritage asset as acknowledged by its Grade I listing designation, and inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Parliamentary Estate has a unique built asset portfolio and has a total gross internal floor areas exceeding 250,000m2. Approximately 70% of the buildings on the Parliamentary Estate are ‘Listed’ under Heritage status, with two buildings, Norman Shaw North and the Palace of Westminster, of exceptional interest, and which are Grade 1 ‘Listed’.

Parliament is exercising its duty of care to prevent future deterioration of the mechanical, electrical, public health, fire, and life safety systems, building fabric, roofing, stonework, and other associated works and projects, as custodians of this Grade I Listed asset and to maintain a safe and secure environment in and around the Palace of Westminster, and the wider Parliamentary Estate.

The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons (acting jointly) invite interested parties to consider participation in the future call for competition. A named user of this Framework shall be the Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority Limited.

Strategic Estates & Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority

It is important to distinguish from the above the co-ordinated but separate project delivery of the Restoration & Renewal programme. A separate entity (the Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority Limited) has been established to deliver the works required across the Parliamentary Estate to ensure the safety of those who work and visit here, and to support the continued business of Parliament. This includes planning for the large and complex restoration of the Palace of Westminster to preserve it for future generations. Furthermore, in the future, it may become necessary for call-off contracts to be novated to the Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd.

On background:

Further information about the role of the R&R Client Board, and R&R Programme Board, is available on the parliamentary website.

The Framework will predominantly facilitate the procurement and works requirements of the Corporate Officers’ project delivery team (the Strategic Estates team). The Strategic Estates team is bicameral, serving both Houses, and is responsible for the infrastructure comprising the Parliamentary Estate. Their work encompasses a broad set of responsibilities, including the delivery of construction projects, construction safety, the provision of specialist planning and design support, and the care and development of our internationally significant heritage collections, among others.

The purpose of this further Prior Information Notice is to provide updated information for the procurement and implementation of a Parliamentary Construction Partnership (CPF) Framework, that shall serve as an enhancement of, and successor to the existing MEPFS (Mechanical, Electrical, Public health, and Fabric Safety) Framework.

The procurement of contractors to undertake construction works is a key enabler to the successful delivery of the Medium-Term Investment Plan (MTIP) by Strategic Estates. As the requirement for these services and works continues to increase across the Parliamentary Estate, the procurement of this new Framework, and its services and works, is required to maintain the capability and capacity to construct and deliver projects that are part of the portfolio of capital investment and capital maintenance projects that constitute the MTIP, into the early 2030s.

This Framework builds upon the original content of the MEPFS Framework and incorporates lessons learnt through its use over the last few years, and the feedback and thoughts from internal and external stakeholders to ensure this Framework is fit for purpose going forward.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The authority is looking to procure contractors with the capability and capacity to lead, co-ordinate and manage the delivery of works projects. Core works will be delivered inhouse with specialist works delivered in conjunction with their established supply chains, as part of a framework to undertake works to the Parliamentary Estate:

Lot 1 – High Value Construction Works of Mixed Discipline, typically over £50m with no upper limit defined.

Lot 2 – Medium Value Construction Works, consisting predominantly of Mechanical & Electrical (Public Health & Fire) Discipline, typically over £5m, but typically under £50m.

Lot 3 – Medium Value Construction Works, consisting predominantly of Architectural, Structural, Heritage, Roofing, and Conservational Discipline, with no lower limit, and typically up to £50m.

Lot 4 – Low / Minor Value Construction Works (typically Building, Fit-Out, and M&E works) Discipline, typically up to £5m

An invitation to tender (ITT) is issued providing full details of the framework. Once appointed onto the framework lot, mini-competitions or direct awards will be issued based on the NEC4 suite of contracts using both traditional and design and build procurement methods.

Works will be awarded by mini-competition or direct award, where value for money can be demonstrated. The allocation of the work via direct awards, and to maintain a position on the framework, is likely to be subject to a performance management regime using Key Performance Indicators.

Users joining an existing supplier account will be approved by the primary contact of the supplier.
