Description

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Property Town Planning Consultants Framework.

This Framework is for provision of general and specialist town planning advice to Hertfordshire County Council (HCC or the Council) as a landowner.

The Council's property portfolio is diverse and includes (but is not limited to) office accommodation, schools, libraries, fire stations, adult care facilities, waste management sites, rural estate land and buildings. The advice could relate to assets currently owned by the council, or those to be acquired.

The Framework is for Property Town Planning Consultants as a single requirement and therefore it is not spilt into Lots.

Full details are in the tender document set. The Specification is Schedule 1 of the Framework document.

Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Framework formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate. Please note that the contract requirements will be subject to available financial resources, supplier performance and flexibility to meet changing demands.

The Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award a Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice. If the Council takes up this right, then they will not be responsible for or pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or tenderer as a result.
