Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority is currently engaged in the contracting process for the construction of a new fire station located at Wigmore Lane, Theale, Reading. This project, part of the construction industry, employs a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The initial tender process invited companies to submit a Supplier Selection Questionnaire, with a deadline for submissions having concluded on 9th August 2019. The selected contractor is expected to begin mobilisation in February 2020 and complete the construction by 30th July 2021. The estimated contract value is approximately £6.2 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those with experience in building public service facilities and management of subcontractors. Businesses with a strong track record in large-scale construction projects or those that specialise in fire station construction would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant expertise may find favourable conditions within this procurement framework, given that the authority encourages their participation.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Construction of a new Fire Station at Wigmore Lane, Theale, Reading.

Notice Description

Royal Berkshire Fire Authority "the Authority" is seeking to award a contract for the construction of a new Fire Station at Theale, Reading. This tender is for the appointment of a main contractor to manage the construction and remediation works required to build the new fire station at the site, including managing the required ground remediation works. The Authority has recently carried out a tender for the remediation works and identified a remediation contractor and agreed price for this part of the project. The appointed main contractor will therefore be required to take on this supplier as a listed domestic sub-contractor. The main contractor will be responsible for the appointment of any other sub contractors required to deliver the construction of the fire station. The tender is being run as a two stage tender and suitably experienced organisations are invited to complete the SSQ / PAS91 included in this tender pack. The Authority intends to shortlist six suppliers to tender for this project. The successful supplier will need to be able to commence mobilisation in February 2020 and the complete construction of the fire station by July 2021. This tender pack includes all the supporting information. The final bill of quantities document will be made available shortly.
