Multi Party Framework Agreement for Project Management Services

The Contracting Authority proposes to engage in a competitive process for the establishment of a Multi Party Framework for Project Management Services.

The LDA requires the services of suitably qualified and experienced professional Project Manager(s) to co-ordinate and manage a number of projects. The Project Manager(s) will be acting on behalf of LDA and will be responsible for providing all project management services as required under the Framework Agreement and the relevant Terms and Conditions of Contract. The Project Manager will liaise with the Project Legal Advisors and Financial/Commercial Advisors and the Architect Led Design Team, Main Contractor(s), Property Advisors, Project Legal Advisors and Financial/Commercial Advisors and report to the LDA.

The maximum duration of the framework agreement will be three [3] years subject to satisfactory annual review of performance. This may be extended for one [1] additional year.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Contracting Authority confirms that the period of any contracts awarded under the framework agreement may extend beyond the date of expiry of the agreement.
