## Summary

The Manchester College is initiating a project titled "Group Services Relocation Project" aimed at relocating its Group Services departments, including Finance, Human Resources, and IT Services, from their current rented accommodations, as the lease is set to expire at the end of February 2018. This procurement is classified under the construction industry, specifically falling within the works category, with a contract value of £683,727. The procurement process adopted is a limited method, using competitive quotations below the threshold. The tender period has already ended on 13 October 2017, with the contract period commencing from 1 November 2017 through to 28 February 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction sector, particularly those specialising in refurbishment and remodelling works. Businesses that have relevant experience in completing similar projects and can deliver within the specified timeframe would be well suited to compete. With The Manchester College being a prominent institution in the education sector, successful engagement in this project could lead to further opportunities within the public sector for the successful contractor.

## Notice

The College's Group Services, consisting of Finance, Human Resources, IT Services, Health and Safety, Marketing and Communications, Apprenticeships, MOL, Novus and Student Records /MIS are currently located within rented office space. The lease for the rented office space is coming to an end and the College are therefore preparing to relocate the above departments within the existing Wythenshawe and Openshaw Campuses. The lease for the existing accommodation has already been extended to the end February 2018 and it is therefore imperative to the College that the proposed refurbishment and remodelling works are completed by the dates stated.
