Built Environment Consultancy Services (BECS) Framework

UK Parliament is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Parliamentary Estate, which comprises a diverse portfolio of historic, listed and modern buildings and infrastructure. The Estate provides a working environment for both Houses of Parliament and supports the delivery of parliamentary business, as well as providing facilities for Members, staff and visitors.

Typical works focus on conservation of fabric, capital asset upgrade and replacement, mechanical, electrical and public health works, digital, telecoms, security and access systems and utilities. Further information about UK Parliament and the Parliamentary Estate can be found at https://www.parliament.uk/.

The Parliamentary Commercial Department (PCD) supports with procuring and managing contracts for major and minor construction works, building refurbishment, building security and infrastructure security. BECS covers the provision of a range of consultancy services, including Project Management (PM), Cost Management (CM), Multidisciplinary Design Services (MDS), Feasibility, Commercial and Registered Building Control services.

The BECS framework is intended to support current and future portfolios of capital investment and capital maintenance projects for UK Parliament. The services expected under BECS will range from early-stage feasibility assessments, through to delivery and management of Works projects and programmes. The scale, complexity and nature of Works at Parliament require access to a suitably experienced and capable professional services supply chain.
