CT1674 - Clerk of Works Framework Agreement

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) requires a Framework Agreement for the provision of Clerk of Works services to support the delivery of the Council’s capital construction projects. The Framework Agreement will be utilised by the Councils’ Place Development and Regeneration, Housing Service, Capital Programmes Team, Edinburgh Waterfront, Facilities Management, Housing and Homelessness, Sustainable Construction Delivery and Mixed Tenure Improvement Services. This arrangement will provide Clerk of Works resource for service areas delivering both residential and non-residential construction projects.

Residential projects will be centred around the Council’s affordable house building programme (Development and Regeneration) and potentially in upgrades, refurbishment of existing housing (Housing). Non-residential construction is wider ranging and may include delivery of education, leisure or other buildings being delivered on behalf of the Council through the capital programme. Clerks of Works are used as a quality control resource across construction sites.

They attend site daily, on the client’s behalf, inspecting progress with construction against the construction drawings. The Council uses general building Clerks of Works as well as those experienced in the installation of mechanical and engineering components and fire safety.
