Downside Community Centre - Re-covering of the Roof and Ancillary Repairs
Notice Description
Dunstable Town Council is looking to appoint a Building Contractor to repair the roof and associated features in accordance with the Specification of Works prepared by Brasier Freeth LLP, dated 5th November 2025. The tender will be a single stage selective process. It is important to the Council that a single supplier can implement the repairs. To aid service delivery there must be clear point of contacts for specific roles and responsibilities. The supplier may sub-contract delivery of certain areas if this is made clear in the tender response and that by sub-contracting it does not stop the organisation providing the single support, account management and billing required. The tender applicant must also provide detail on how they validate any working relationship with a 3rd party contractor. All parties must be fully insured. The supplier may sub-contract elements of service provision but must state clearly in their response that they remain entirely responsible for the delivery of service, the quality of that service and its associated communications. This should include, but is not limited to, ensuring that all services are delivered in compliance with appropriate regulations and standards, and are appropriately insured. The use of sub-contractors will be entirely transparent to the Council.
