Case Study - 1

A local authority wished to invite bids from architect-led consortia for its design team partner framework. Detailed requirements were developed including terms of appointment, services and fee schedules, and a bid evaluation system devised to give appropriate weight to both quality and price. Bids were then invited and the submissions reviewed and negotiations undertaken with selected tenderers. Six firms were ultimately selected for the framework.

Case Study - 2

An office development in the City of London was being constructed by a major developer under a design and build form of contract. An incoming tenant sought an independent report based on documents to cover the contractual arrangements and the respective rights and responsibilities under the lease agreement. The report was also required to give an overview of the design and its performance in key areas such as environment and sustainability. Around 1,000 pages of documents were reviewed to produce a detailed report on these matters.

Case Study - 3

A firm of consultants providing a bespoke service to a client sought advice on the proposed framework agreement and services to be offered. A schedule of services was produced and the conditions of appointment reviewed in relation to these, resulting in advice to modify certain provisions.
