Framework guidance

Commisioning through the BVCA Framework would be simple, the (user) Council can run either a secondary (mini) competition or gain full client confidence in the commission process through a shortened PQQ & interview process, reducing the procurement process to a maxinmum of 90 days. And/or seek quotations from the BVCA framework suppliers direct to secure offers tailored to the (user) Council’s exact project brief requirements. Or the (user) Council could commission through an identified solution and suppier, based on the information provided within their initial BVCA framework application, agree supply terms with i.e. a professional consultant and place an order. The benefits also include access to a select list of consortium forming and/or specialist professional suppliers who between them offer a comprehensive range of services with pre-agreed terms, conditions and safeguards to underpin all contracts placed under the BVCA framework.

Quality Management Statement

Quality Management is a continual process that does not just
happen but evolves over time and through experience. The client/users’ needs
change and their expectations grow, therefore it is essential that, in

additional to the client/users’ existing Standing Orders, Financial Regulations and/or
Construction Management procedures, the Best Value Consulting Associates (BVCA)
Framework is and has been formulated to encourage and develop continuous
improvement.

In order to carry on providing high quality services that
continues to improve and meet any changing requirements, commissioning through
the BVCA Public Procurement Framework will help to secure Professional Services
in an effective & efficient way by introducing a systematic quality
management system which includes a commitment to cost and project control.

The BVCA Public Procurement Framework will monitor and
record all project controls though close liaison with all stakeholders,
Architects, Project Managers or whoever is designated to sanctions all project
expenditure. The BVCA Public Procurement Framework is capable of reviewing and
negotiating any procurement solution, by working closely as possible with the
user from the earliest stage, such as appointment of professional consultants
at commissioning stage.

Through this opportunity, by utilising the best possible
information from all relevant parties and team members, will enable joined up
forecasts of project out-turn and performance. Therefore, the BVCA Public
Procurement Framework is not merely a reactive system looking at historical
changes, but a pro-active system, monitoring and recording possible threats and/or
opportunities to save i.e. money, coming from the project Risk Register or from
any new project changes.

BVCA recognises how important data collection is in
benchmark, reviewing and future project budgeting setting. Equally valuable to
value engineering during the commissioning/design stage, the BVCA Public
Procurement Framework will also allow option consideration when commissioning at
each and every project stage, creating an environment which includes both
capital and whole life cost implications.

BVCA’s experience of working in partnership with a wide
variety of client/user’s and professional consultants, which therefore, means
we have significant experience of delivering programmes of complex projects as
well as one off individual commissions. BVCA has been involved in delivering
numerous projects through project planning, monitoring and action. All
construction projects should be commissioned on a risk-based approach, therefore,
the BVCA Public Procurement Framework approach underwrites and supports any
user’s Standing Orders, Financial Regulations and/or Construction Contract
Management process from inception to completion.
