The brief

The Authority will seek to engage a Technical Support Provider (TSP) to support delivery of the Vehicle Inspection Facility Upgrade Programme (VIFUP), a programmatic initiative to upgrade vehicle inspection facilities across the Defence estate.

The overall programme is currently valued at approximately £110M.

Delivery is expected to utilise a combination of existing contracts (e.g.

PFIs and Regional Delivery frameworks) alongside the procurement of new contracts for major refurbishment works.

The estimated value of these major refurbishments is approximately £35M, with potential for further increase, and projects are geographically distributed across the UK.

The TSP will be required to provide multi-disciplinary support across the programme lifecycle.

The anticipated scope of services includes: a.

Assessment Studies b.

Project Management Support c.

NEC4 Administration d.

Design e.

Support to Procurement Activity f.

Technical Support and Advice g.

Support/Evidence to Full Business Case The Authority is currently considering procurement and packaging options for the TSP services.

Potential approaches include: • A staged contracting model, with an initial contract for assessment studies followed by subsequent contracts for later RIBA stages; or • A single contract arrangement, incorporating optional services to be called off as the programme progresses • The potential to structure delivery on either a UK-wide basis or through regional lots, reflecting the geographical spread of the programme.

The estimated value of the initial assessment studies is approximately £640K.
