The project involves appointing an architect-led design team to provide architectural, mechanical & electrical engineering, and civil & structural engineering services. The estimated construction budget is £150,000. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for Thursday 6 April 2023, and the quote return date is Friday 5 May 2023. This tender by the Northern Lighthouse Board presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly small or medium enterprises (SMEs), in the architectural services industry. Suitable businesses should be capable of delivering design solutions within the specified budget. The open procedure procurement method allows for fair competition, providing potential growth avenues for businesses offering architectural, engineering, and related services. ## Notice The Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) owns an operational base on Gallanach Road in Oban. NLB wish to convert two internal mezzanine spaces within the buoy store on the base - currently accessed by hatches and ladders into usable areas with stepped access. One of these areas is located above a workshop area and one is above a paint kitchen. It is hoped that at least one of these spaces would be fitted out to allow for use as a tea break rooms for staff. This would be very beneficial for the buoy store staff and would also allow the off hire of the temporary container facility currently used as the staff break area. To progress this project, NLB are looking to appoint an architect led design team to review the current outline proposals we have had developed previously. The architect may propose a different solution that they consider is a more cost effective or efficient design, but the overall outcome should be the same i.e. provision of a rest area in one, or both, of the mezzanine floor spaces. The appointed architect should be capable of providing, as a minimum, Architectural Services, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Services (including fire and lighting services), and Civil & Structural Engineering Services. The estimated budget for construction is PS150K. There is a mandatory site visit to NLB Oban on Thursday 6 April 2023. The quote return date is Friday 5 May. All communications and submissions must be made via Delta eSourcing. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f1c33e7-3370-4301-ac4a-ee64c2094fb6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 5 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 May 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSE BOARD | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH2 3DA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71210000 - Advisory architectural services - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 71221000 - Architectural services for buildings - 71223000 - Architectural services for building extensions ## Release History - 24 Mar 2023 at 12:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f1c33e7-3370-4301-ac4a-ee64c2094fb6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f1c33e7-3370-4301-ac4a-ee64c2094fb6 24th March 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Oban:-NLB-Oban-Mezzanine-Floor-Conversion-(Stage-1--Architecture-Services)/36HQNA69K2 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
