Notice Title

268400 - Campus Lounge Fit Out

Notice Description

The project aims to transform the existing 850sqm canteen-style space into a modern, multipurpose campus lounge designed to support longer dwell times, agile working, and social interaction. The required building works include removing two existing serveries down to a single delivery point, undertaking small flooring replacements where necessary, and making only minor M&E adjustments such as rerouting power via ceiling drops or columns. The overall project budget is PS500k inc. VAT. A hard deadline of 01/09 applies. Suppliers are expected to deliver a turnkey design and build solution, providing 2-3 high quality 3D visuals, detailed floor plans, and a fully itemised pricing schedule covering all works and replacement furniture. Designs should move the space away from a canteen aesthetic towards a business lounge feel, incorporating a mix of robust seating types and potentially reusing existing furniture where appropriate. No powered furniture, AV installation, CCTV, or major M&E upgrades are required; WiFi upgrades will be managed through IT separately. The back kitchen and Staff Common Room are out of scope. Proposals must also outline feasible timescales, risk mitigation measures, and sequencing that enables works to start on a live site from 15/06 while maintaining safe access and egress. All other information relating to Award Criteria, evaluation and the full specification etc. can be found within our tender pack for this procurement loaded on the In-Tend e tendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home
