The procurement process was initiated on 8th November 2022. The project falls under the health and safety services category and involves a direct procurement method with a single tender action below threshold. The contract period is from 29th April 2022 to 29th December 2023. This opportunity for business growth would suit firms specialising in health and safety consultancy services and works. The project location is in Colchester, United Kingdom. Interested businesses should note the tender deadline on 22nd April 2022. The University of Essex is the buying organisation and Ingleton Wood LLP is the awarded supplier for the refurbishment project. ## Notice The University Towers were constructed more than 50 years ago. In this time, the six accommodation towers have served the University well, providing affordable student accommodation. Bertrand Russell and Eddington Tower have been refurbished and this now leaves the remaining four Towers (Rayleigh, Keynes, Tawney and William Morris) on the North side of campus. Although the original Towers are in reasonable structural condition, given their age (subject to structural survey) and only needing minor structural repairs, windows/curtain walling are 'life expired', regularly leaking in high winds and are not energy efficient. The roof is at the end of its design life and needs replacement with the addition of thermal insulation. Added to this, internal services are failing, and a major refurbishment is required to ensure the towers can be certified as 'safe to occupy' under the future Building Safety Act and to maintain the life of the asset and preserve it for future years. The tower blocks will become 'higher risk' buildings under the Building Safety Bill/Act due for Royal Assent in Spring 2022 imposing additional responsibilities upon 'duty holders' within the University. Work needs to begin as part of this project on preparing safety cases for all accommodation coming into the remit of the pending legislation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ff04cd1-292b-4f4c-86e2-d2407516794c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 22 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 28 Apr 2022 - 29 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £13,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £22,200 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX | | Locality | COLCHESTER | | Post town | Colchester | | Postcode | CO4 3SQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Colchester | | Electoral ward | Wivenhoe | | Westminster constituency | Harwich and North Essex | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | INGLETON WOOD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71317200 - Health and safety services - 71317210 - Health and safety consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Nov 2022 at 14:38 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ff04cd1-292b-4f4c-86e2-d2407516794c - 8 Nov 2022 at 10:57 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ff04cd1-292b-4f4c-86e2-d2407516794c - 5 Oct 2022 at 11:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ff04cd1-292b-4f4c-86e2-d2407516794c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ff04cd1-292b-4f4c-86e2-d2407516794c 14th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login?cid=UNIESSEX For further details and to register your interest please go to ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
