## Summary

The procurement process for the "Dominions House Refurbishment Project" is managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, aimed at addressing the immediate need for additional office space for the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) in Stoke Gifford, Bristol. This project falls under the industry category of building works, specifically classified as repair and maintenance services for building installations, with a budget of £400,000. The tender period has officially ended on 15th December 2017, with the contract period commencing on 22nd December 2017 and lasting until 30th March 2018. The procurement method used for this process is an open procedure below the threshold, ensuring transparency and broad participation.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in building renovation and maintenance, particularly those that can demonstrate innovative solutions and cost efficiencies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as the project highlights the need for space efficiency and the development of effective design layouts. Suppliers with experience in providing office space solutions and a strong understanding of public procurement regulations will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 15/12/2017 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) currently has two offices located at Lime Kiln Close Stoke Gifford Bristol. The current offices Nicholson House and Westward House provide a mix of meeting space, offices, hot desks and supporting facilities used by HEFCE staff and invited visitors. HEFCE has identified the immediate need for additional office space to temporarily relocate some existing staff during the transition of HEFCE into the Office for Students (OfS). Subsequently the building will provide office space for the accommodation of Research England, a new Research Council, coming into being in April 2018, at that time the contract for Dominions house will be novated to OfS. HEFCE identified the adjacent office building 'Dominions House' as the most suitable option for this requirement. The building is also being considered for the location of a temporary depository in 2020 for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) which is the system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions. Until that need arises Dominions House will be used to provide office and meeting space phased in two parts (ground floor and First floor; please see sectional completion and outline programme) with supporting infrastructure, however the potential depository use must not be compromised by anything permanent being built in a suitable space. The bidders are required to provide a bid as per the tender documentation based on the development of the schematic baseline design layout, provided in this tender package which can be found at appendices C & D. Although please note that within appendencies A and C these are generic, design requirements for ground and first floor. Potential suppliers are requested to provide a bid and also advise of ways that they feel they can improve the current plans. With both efficiency and cost benefits. Please Note that the council are looking to achieve space efficiency, innovation and effectiveness within these layouts.
