## Summary

The procurement process is for the refurbishment of the Large Anechoic Chamber, initiated by the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON, located in Southampton, England. This project falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of building installations, with an estimated value of £140,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure suitable for below-threshold contracts, and the tender period ended on 25th December 2020, with the contract period commencing on 5th February 2021 and concluding on 4th February 2022. The awarding of the contract was confirmed on 1st October 2021, with the awarded value amounting to £273,765.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and refurbishment projects, particularly those experienced in acoustic treatment and maintenance services. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with ISO standards and have the capability to perform specialised refurbishment tasks, such as installing fire-retardant materials and lightweight flooring, would be particularly well-suited to compete. This project allows for growth by engaging in a contract that enhances the university's research facilities, thereby fostering potential future collaborations and projects in the academic sector.

## Notice

The Large Anechoic Chamber was built in 1968 and last refurbished in the mid 1990's. It is now in need of another refurbishment. We would be looking for a company to remove the existing fibreglass wedges and replace them with a new set of wedges. We would be looking to replace the existing metal grid floor with something more lightweight, maybe of GRP construction. The refurbished chamber should at minimum: * comply with ISO 3745, ISO 26101. A full commissioning report will be required. * have a cut off frequency of 80Hz or below * have acoustic wedges that are fire retardant * have refurbished seals on all chamber openings * have a replacement lightweight floor capable of taking a spread load of at least 500 kg Additional information: All documents in relation to this requirement can be found at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsouthampton/aspx/Home
