The managing contractor determines which consultants it will engage to prepare the construction documentation and the extent of their services. The managing contractor tenderers include full details of consultancy services in their tender. The agency may include a list of consultants from which the managing contractor tenderers must select their consultant team in the tender documents Prior to inviting tenders for the managing contractor contract, the agency invites proposals and arranges the design and documentation consultancy services. The consultants are engaged by the agency for design services during stage one. Upon completion of the developed design and agreement to a GCS, the managing contractor engages consultants to produce the construction documentation.
Tender evaluation is based on the tender evaluation criteria.
Alternatively, the agency may direct the managing contractor to proceed with stage two without a GCS limiting the amount payable for construction work.
