The University of Edinburgh is establishing a four year Framework Agreement for the provision of Quantity Surveying Services. Projects types and services will include a mixture (but not limited to) of:

• Project types: Alterations and refurbishment associated with new occupation, changes of and upgrade of facilities; Adaptations and extensions of existing buildings; Maintenance works and New build works (including demolition of existing buildings).
• Services: Contract administration and employer’s representative services; Peer reviews and due diligence services; Facilitation of value engineering and risk workshops and supporting in the preparation of funding bids and supplying information for rating assessors and the like.

This includes the provision of infrastructure works either when associated to the main project scope or as a standalone infrastructure project.

The QS services shall include the preparation of a Bill of Quantities or a Contract Sum Analysis, Employer’s Requirements or a Schedule of Works, as appropriate dependent on procurement approach and University’s instruction/preference. The appointed QS consultant needs to have a thorough working knowledge of works contracts, for example but not limited to NEC, JCT and ICE and support the University in the use of a variety of procurement arrangements including collaborative working and framework arrangements, for example mini competitions using SCAPE and CCS framework agreements. The University may utilise Design Team and Contractor Framework Agreements and the service provider will need to familiarise themselves with the ethos and operational details of these Framework Agreements. In addition, the appointed QS should allow for regular and frequent project team meetings throughout the project, necessary for full co-ordination of the project.
