Factor in realistic timescales for internal approvals
Procurement Options
Full OJEU – timescale, & appropriateness
Existing Frameworks – Ealing used City West for larger schemes
Contractor & Consultant “Panels” – most consultant appointments &
Small scale contracts (Below OJEU)
Single purchases –services
Tender or Quotation
Panels and Frameworks
Consider Council’s essential requirements eg registration with
Constructionline and CHAS (Contractor Health & Safety Assessment)
For sites above OJEU review existing frameworks
For sites below OJEU consider contractor & consultant panels because
of their simplicity and speed
Appraising Frameworks
Consider if the rigour of the qualitative & financial assessment is
satisfactory
Consider if following is covered:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Experience of affordable programmes
Evidence delivering in time and budget
References
Constructionline scores
Added value offered
Seek evidence of ability to deliver quality services 50:50, even 60:40
quality/price
Programme or Single Sites?
Depends on size of sites, delivering repetitive programme, use or
avoid OJEU and geographical spread
Impacts on type of contractor you will get
Sites thorough checks before going out to tender

Boundaries & title correct
Services correct – don’t assume either because you own it!
Capacity study or massing exercise upon which to obtain quotes or tenders
Brief for each site, or programme agreement with Planning
Standardisation of house types or similar components
Realistic packaging of sites, adjacent or the opposite ends of the Borough
Ensuring Success
Ensure ERs as tight as possible, specify to degree possible if using
D &B, maybe Stage D+?
Address provisional sums before letting contract – commission
further surveys?
Engage the contractor – discuss “value engineering” consider cost
effective solutions
Client Issues Summary
What time have you to consider the options?
Simplicity in choice of procurement programme, meets your
requirements, transparent, provides VFM
Ensure contractors and consultants right ones for the job – if using a
framework make sure there has been robust qualitative and financial
assessment, same for use of contractor & consultant panels
Spend time ensuring your ERs/Design Brief is watertight.
Precise what you want with each scheme
Ensure you have done the necessary site investigatory work before tender
