Technical requirements: The Football Foundation (‘the Authority’) and its partners including the English Sports Council and the Football Association is establishing two single provider frameworks for the provision of multi-disciplinary consultancy services, hereinafter referred to as the Framework Management Consultant (FMC) to support the delivery of changing rooms and associated facilities either under a modular build or traditional build programme.
Tenderers may bid for one or both lots. However, the Authority will only award one lot to a Tenderer. Tenderers will be required to state their preference for the lot to be awarded in the event that they are successful on both lots.
The Football Foundation (‘the Authority’) and its partners including the English Sports Council and the Football Association is establishing a multi-provider framework of modular building suppliers to deliver changing rooms and associated facilities. In addition, where a modular building solution is not possible, the Authority will defer to a traditional form of construction, under a design and build approach. In connection with the above, the Authority requires construction consultancy services in the form of a Framework Management Consultant (FMC) to support the delivery of the modular framework and the traditional construction approach in the provision of changing room facilities for sport.
The FMC will be required to provide full multi-disciplinary construction consultancy services in connection with the delivery of the facility either through a modular framework or a non-modular, design and build solution. In both cases, the FMC will be required to undertake initial feasibility services, concept design and preparation of Employer's Requirements based on the Authority's ‘blueprint’ designs and specifications. The FMC will also be required to act in the role of ‘Employer's Agent’ and will manage all pre-construction, post construction and post completion activities in connection with the design, supply and installation of the changing room facility. The services provided will be ‘called-off’ in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Framework Agreement provided with the Invitation to Tender documentation.
The call-off contract to be entered into under the framework will be a bespoke contract appropriate for the role of Employer's Agent under the JCT Design & Build Contract 2011 (with amendments). Those able to access the framework and ‘call-off’ services will include the Authority, its partners, National Governing Bodies for Sport, appropriate public contracting authorities and awardees of grant funding including community sports clubs.
The Authority is establishing this framework on behalf of other authorities. These include the following: The Football Association; The English Sports Council; National Sports Centres; Applicants for Awards to Sport England; Central Government Bodies; Charities (including Trusts & Foundations); Sports Councils; National Governing Bodies (of Sport) and their Applicants; Local Authorities (England & Wales); Education Bodies in the UK (Including Maintained Schools, Academies, Free Schools, University Technical Colleges, Further & Higher Education Establishments); Rugby Football Union; England Hockey; English & Wales Cricket Board; Rugby Football League; Community Sports Clubs.
