The contract was awarded on 4th July 2019, with the procurement method being an open procedure. The project is scheduled to commence on 1st May 2019 and is expected to be completed by 31st August 2020. The works involve significant maintenance to the external steelwork of the National Glass Centre, located in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, with completion staged in two phases, prioritising minimal disruption during school holidays. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly in construction and painting sectors, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in external building maintenance and protective coatings. Interested contractors who specialise in complex redecorating projects or possess expertise in marine-grade paints suitable for adverse weather conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, fostering potential growth through participation in significant public works. ## Notice The University of Sunderland is preparing to carry out a period of planned maintenance to paint the external steelwork of the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear. The building is situated on the banks of the River Wear at Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, is exposed to the harsh weather elements and subsequently the external steelwork finishes have fallen into a poor state of repair. In preparation for this, the University has undertaken a period of adhesion testing of marine type paint products that can be applied to the pre-painted steelwork. I was found that the existing paint has lost all adhesion meaning that a marine type paint product cannot applied on top. Given the above, the University acknowledge that this project will now require a full removal of the existing paintwork back to bare metal before painting the building with a marine type paint specification that will provide the building with protection against the elements for a period of 10+ years. The National Glass Centre is open to the general public 7 days a week closing on Christmas, Boxing and New Year's Day opening daily between 10am till 5pm relying heavily on the school and public holidays as key times for the business where footfall is at its highest. This being the case the preference is there to carry out the above works either side of the school holidays where disruption will be at as minimum as expected. The client has a commitment to carry out this project in 2 Phases with Phase 1 to be completed in August 2019 and Phase 2, August 2020. As this is a complex project Phase 1 will seek address the East and West building elevations and Phase 2 the more complex Riverside elevation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa448e34-964e-4fa4-b92e-bf8efcc6cfd7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Jul 2019 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 31 Aug 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £533,789 | | 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 SUNDERLAND | | Locality | SUNDERLAND | | Post town | Sunderland | | Postcode | SR1 3SD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC44 Sunderland | | Local authority | Sunderland | | Electoral ward | Millfield | | Westminster constituency | Sunderland Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ALFRED BAGNALL & SONS (NORTH EAST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45440000 - Painting and glazing work - 45442000 - Application work of protective coatings - 45442100 - Painting work - 45442120 - Painting and protective-coating work of structures - 45442180 - Repainting work - 45442190 - Paint-stripping work ## Release History - 21 Oct 2019 at 14:12 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa448e34-964e-4fa4-b92e-bf8efcc6cfd7 - 4 Jul 2019 at 10:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa448e34-964e-4fa4-b92e-bf8efcc6cfd7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa448e34-964e-4fa4-b92e-bf8efcc6cfd7 21st October 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://services.sunderland.ac.uk/finance/sections/procurement/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
