II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The Architects Cutting Edge Framework is for the provision of architectural services for residential-led development projects and is split into 3 geographical lots. However, the CEF

Consortium Members will reserve the right to use service providers successful on one

geographical lot, within the same work stream, in another geographical lot, when no service

provider within the geographical lot in question is available to undertake the relevant works

and value for money can be established.

The CEF Consortium Members are committed to the use of the Architects Cutting Edge

Framework, and therefore bidders should anticipate that the overall value of the framework

would be in line with the values identified within this contract notice.

This Lot is for projects in North West England from Cheshire to Cumbria (the area as more

7. Demolition, site remediation, infrastructure and enabling works to prepare sites for

residential or mixed-use development;

8. Design and construction of homes; and

9. Self-build or custom build enabling as part of a larger development.

As minimum requirements, Riverside will expect, amongst other things, that the successful

bidders will:
