Lot Information

Lot 1

The maintenance backlog is currently listed by task (See Appendix D in the tender documents). A critical activity is to initially develop the list into design packages that are appropriate to be delivered on site. For example, multiple tasks in a single building might be appropriate to be delivered as a single design package that is delivered across several phases. Or tasks might remain as single activities. An in-depth understanding the of the task list, site and priorities is required to allow for development and delivery of the design and construction packages. We propose a 'Discovery Phase' to develop this understanding We are looking to contract with specialist supplier who has Technical, Design, Programming and Project Management capability to deliver the following services to support the implementation of the backlog. *Programme Management Office *Project Management *Contract Procurement and Contract Administration *Cost Management *Electrical Design *Civil Design Other services that may be required, and can also be provided by the supplier include: *Architecture, and Infrastructure Master planning - for example, if new substations are required. *Landscape and Ecology - to support with any planning applications should they be required. *Fire Engineering - If permanent or temporary changes are required to the fire strategy because of the works.

Over the next 4 years, we have been granted funding to address the maintenance backlog which, is circa PS2-3 million pa. The core requirement of the Discovery Phase is estimated of up to PS100,000.00 GBP ex VAT. Any work via this Contract beyond the core requirement shall be a 'call-off', meaning that there is no guaranteed level of spend beyond the core requirement.
