Framework Consultants

To ensure quality and best value are achieved on new build and maintenance projects Property Group has established 'Framework Agreements' with a number of professional property-related consultants. View a brief description of the services offered through the Framework Agreements.

Framework Agreements are, in effect, an approved list of property-related consultants that is held centrally within Property Group. The list is available for use by any directorate even where KCC are not funding projects, for example, if a school has some external funding and wishes to use an external architect. Download the Frameworks Consultants List.

Property Group can facilitate the whole commissioning process for KCC clients, help with negotiation of fees and give general advice as the project progresses. There is not a fee for this.

KCC clients who approach the framework consultants privately or consultants who are not on KCC approved lists, will need to arrange their own commissioning arrangements, negotiation of fees and remain responsible for ensuring the correct core policies in connection with construction work are adhered to.

All the consultants have been fully vetted and their performance in key areas (such as performance, quality, health and safety, timescales and budgetary control) is regularly monitored to ensure stringent criteria are met.
