The Guinness Partnership (TGP) is seeking to establish a multidisciplinary framework to deliver a range of development consultancy services across its nationwide portfolio. The framework will support the delivery of affordable housing, building safety, and regeneration projects, and will cover the following service areas: • Employer's Agent - including contract administration, project management, and procurement advice. • Cost Consultancy - full financial management of projects, including budgeting, tender review, and value engineering. • CDM Advisor and Principal Designer - ensuring compliance with Construction Design and Management Regulations and promoting health and safety throughout the lifecycle of the works. These services will be required across England, with a focus on key regions such as Greater Manchester, London, Brighton, Milton Keynes, Bristol, Gloucester, and Leeds. Flexibility and strong regional coverage are essential due to TGP's dispersed housing stock.

  In accordance with the terms of the Procurement Act, open frameworks must be reopened for further competition no later than the end of their maximum three-year initial term. As such it is Guinness' intention to reopen the framework for competition no later than the end of year 3 of the framework. The length of the subsequent framework is permitted under the Procurement Act to be for a maximum of 5 years, so is envisaged to run for this period of time, although may at Guinness' discretion be reopened at an earlier stage. The total maximum term of the open framework may not exceed 8 years in total and therefore will be capped at this length. Call-offs may be awarded that expire after any of the above-stated framework end dates, provided these are within reason and in accordance with any limitations set out within the Procurement Act 2023 or other relevant legislation.
