UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council is seeking a specialist manufacturer to replace the existing revolving entrance doors at Number One Riverside, the Civic Offices in Rochdale. The requirement covers revolving entrance door products for the principal public entrance, which is used by members of the public, staff, elected members and visitors. The selected manufacturer will support product selection before the Council procures the associated installation works. The replacement is intended to address the existing installation’s age, maintenance problems and reliability issues, while providing safe, reliable and accessible access. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns doors. Its relevance is strongest for manufacturers of specialist revolving entrance systems with products suitable for public buildings and demanding access, safety, security and operational requirements.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with electronic bid submission allowed. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 31 August 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline set by the Council was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 31 October 2026 to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £130,000 excluding VAT, or £156,000 including VAT. Evaluation is split equally between quality and price, with each weighted at 50%. The quality assessment is based on quality questions, with full details in the tender documents. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits a specialist revolving-door manufacturer able to recommend and supply a replacement system for a principal civic-office entrance. Relevant suppliers should be able to demonstrate products and technical expertise addressing accessibility, public safety, reliability, energy efficiency and building security. Experience of designing or manufacturing systems for high-use public or commercial buildings would be particularly relevant, as would the capacity to consider maintenance requirements and whole-life costs when proposing a product. The requirement may also suit smaller specialist manufacturers and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the lot is identified as suitable for both. Businesses should be prepared to answer quality questions alongside submitting a competitive price, and to support the manufacturer-selection stage before later installation works are procured.

N1R Revolving Doors - Manufacturer Selection

Notice Description

Rochdale Borough Council is seeking to procure a specialist manufacturer for the replacement of the existing revolving entrance doors at Number One Riverside (N1R). The existing revolving door installation is approaching the end of its operational life and has experienced increasing maintenance and reliability issues. As the principal public entrance to the Civic Offices, the door is a critical asset that must provide safe, reliable and accessible access for members of the public, staff, elected members and visitors.
