This tender, classified under the Building Completion Work (CPV 45400000), includes refurbishments across multiple blocks such as Petworth, Arundel, Duncton, Ifold, Loxwood, and Midhurst. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a closing date for submissions set for 17th February 2025 at 09:00. The total value of the contract is estimated at £300,000, and the contract period is from 21st March 2025 to 20th March 2028. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs, given the project's sizeable scope and continued demand for refurbishments. Businesses specialising in building completion work, especially those experienced in the education sector, are well-positioned to compete. The open procedure below the threshold allows various businesses to bid, offering flexible pricing options based on the scale of work undertaken. Additionally, with refurbishments taking place year-round but avoiding the summer conference season, businesses can efficiently schedule work around these constraints. Successful appointment could enhance a contractor's portfolio and foster enduring collaboration with the University of Chichester. ## Notice The University of Chichester is looking to appoint a competent contractor to undertake a rolling series of "light touch" refurbishments of its "Courtyard blocks" at its Bishop Otter Campus in Chichester comprising: * Petworth "Block" (3 flats, 18 bedrooms in total) * Arundel "Block" (2 flats, 11 bedrooms in total) * Duncton "Block" (2 flats, 12 bedrooms in total) * Ifold "Block" (3 flats, 18 bedrooms in total) * Loxwood "Block": Halls 1, 2, 3 and 4 (24 bedrooms in total) * Midhurst Block (3 flats, 17 bedrooms to total) A measured term contract is to be let for this work which will provide a "framework" under which the successful contractor can be appointed to refurbish rooms around their availability. The tender documents include a pricing schedule allowing works to be priced differently depending upon whether rooms are refurbished individually, as an entire flat or the block as a whole. Some works are only relevant to these larger scale interventions. Availability of rooms can be throughout the year and not specifically limited to either term-time or vacations. Current planning however is that the summer conference season (typically late June - September) is to be avoided for works on site. The lifespan of the contract will be 3 years. There is no guarantee however that the University will be able to release all rooms for refurbishment over this timeframe. Full details of our requirements are available in the tender documents and pricing schedule. All tender documents, Questions and Answers are open to all bidders. Please send your completed submission to the University by the closing date of 17th February at 09:00, (9am) to tenders@chi.ac.uk. Please note, we do not accept submissions via fi le transfer sites. tenders@chi.ac.uk accepts emails and attachments of up to 35MB and it is acceptable to submit in more than one email. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c89f9e7a-335c-4cdf-bb46-cdf92b235606 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 17 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Mar 2025 - 20 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICHESTER | | Locality | CHICHESTER | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO19 6PE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | | Local authority | Chichester | | Electoral ward | Chichester North | | Westminster constituency | Chichester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45400000 - Building completion work ## Release History - 16 Jan 2025 at 08:09 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c89f9e7a-335c-4cdf-bb46-cdf92b235606 - 15 Jan 2025 at 16:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c89f9e7a-335c-4cdf-bb46-cdf92b235606 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c89f9e7a-335c-4cdf-bb46-cdf92b235606 16th January 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/851c8064-027b-472a-8b3d-4037da84ac73 This document describes the requirement and provides a standard format for responses.
