Updates
April 2020

The Guidance for Appointing Design Teams for Devolved Grant Projects has been updated to reflect these changes.
September 2019
New template document "Template Letter to PSDP to assess Design Team candidates", relating to the role of the Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) has been uploaded.
July 2019
The Guidance for Appointing Design Teams for Devolved Grant Projects has been revised to clarify the need to have a separate RFT for each of the four consultancy disciplines (refer to section 5.4, paragraph 6.). The eTENDERS RFT CHECKLIST (OPEN PROCEDURE) and eTENDERS RFT CHECKLIST FOR PSDP tables have also been amended to realign with recent changes to the eTenders website.

The Consultants Tender Marking Matrix has been amended to realign the reference hours for Architects, Engineers (Services and Civil & Structural) and Quantity Surveyors for Project Types 2a(0), 2a(1), 2a(2), 2b(1) and 2b(2). This realignment was considered necessary to better reflect the level of hours being tendered for consultancy services for these project types and due to the change from lump sum to percentage fees for Type 2a projects.
