Structural engineering consultancy services

Description

Link Group intends to enter into a Framework Agreement with a limited number of Civil and Structural Engineering Practices to provide engineering services for a 4 year period. The services may also include the provision of Principal Designer services where the practice can demonstrate it has the relevant experience to provide this role. Link Group works in partnership with a number of subsidiary companies who may ‘call off’ from the Framework. The subsidiaries currently include Link Homes (2001) Ltd, Link Property, Link Housing Association Ltd, Link Energy, Link Living, Horizon Housing Association Ltd, Larkfield Housing Association Ltd and West Highland Housing Association Ltd. Although it is possible that other subsidiary companies may join the Group during the term of the Contact, who may also wish to ‘call off’ from the Framework. Link Group also works in partnership with a number of external organisations, as detailed in the Contract Notice, who may also ‘call off ’ from the Framework. There is no guarantee of any work. It is however, more than likely that individual commissions will be ‘called off’ either by direct selection or by mini tendering within the Framework. The Framework will mainly cover the provision of Structural Engineering services for new build housing, rehabilitation of existing properties, extensions and adaptations. The Framework may also include planned maintenance projects. The projects will range in size, tenure and type from mainstream housing to a variety of special needs projects. The tenure type will cover all affordable tenures, private rented and market sale. The location of projects will vary but in the main will be located in the Central Belt of Scotland and Argyll and Bute. Commissions may however be located in any part of Scotland. The total number of units in each of the geographical areas may vary and no specific numbers can be guaranteed in any area or in total.
