## Summary

The procurement process for the "Avanti Leicester - Temporary Site" project is being carried out by Mott MacDonald Limited, which is seeking to refurbish a building located at Narborough Road, Leicester (LE3 0BT). This initiative falls within the technical secondary education services industry and is currently in the planning stage. The total budget for this project is £2,100,000, with the contract expected to commence on 25th June 2018 and conclude by 2nd September 2019. The tender is planned to be issued as a single-stage competitive quotation process, and prospective bidders should be aware that the future notice date is set for 14th May 2018.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in refurbishment, construction, and educational facility improvements. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in listed building refurbishments and are capable of managing complex project phases while ensuring the safety and organisation of students will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, fostering a competitive tendering environment that could lead to a mutually beneficial outcome.

## Notice

A building that was constructed in 1902, located on Narborough Road, Leicester (LE3 0BT), requires refurbishment to meet the temporary demand of the secondary school students. The existing building was last used as an all through school in 2014, which has since been unoccupied and it is understood the primary mechanical and electrical systems have been turned off. It is understood that the building is also listed on the external elevations, and therefore external works are expected to be kept to a minimum. However, works may be required to the existing windows. The roof/trusses and the panelling in the first-floor main hall are also listed (floor plans to be issued in the tender pack). No significant works are to be anticipated in the main Hall, including to the listed elements. The required space within the temporary building will need to be sufficient to accommodate 180 No. students in the first year, which will increase up to 540 No. students in the third year. The capacity of the school will need to increase to accommodate 180 No. students each year, with the initial 180 No. students starting school in late August/start of September 2018. The planned construction sequence for the building is expected to be split over 2 phases. Phase one will need to be completed by the start of the Academic school year in late August/ early September 2018, with phase two being completed in time for the start of the second academic year (Sept 2019), whilst the School is occupied on the ground floor with students/staff after completion of Phase 1. The phases will be divided by the three-storey building, with phase 1 completing the ground floor and phase 2 completing the first, second and intermediate floors. Safeguarding between pupils/Contractors for Phase 2 works will be assisted by permitting Contractor use of a segregated staircore to the upper floors. Survey information will be provided as part of the tender information to allow the extent of the works to be accurately priced. Survey information that can be expected to be provided within the tender pack will include, R&D, Building Condition (including measurements) and M&E: Shown below is a bullet point summary of the potential works. Note that the GIFA is approximately 4500m2: * Replace Existing Kitchen with New * Potential Replacement/Refurbishment of Existing Heating System (Including Boilers) * Repairs to Roof and Localised Repairs to Existing Windows (listed) * Localised Repairs to Existing Plaster due to Water Damage (Currently Lath and Plaster) * New Fire Doors Installed * New Fire Alarms/Emergency Escape Lighting * New Floor Finishes Throughout * Re-cabling and Trunking within Classrooms for Small Power and Data (ICT) * New Lighting Throughout * Potential for Ventilation to Certain Areas * General Redecoration * Minimal Reconfiguration of Internal Walls Expected * Fitting of Furniture and Equipment * Multiple Ramps with Potential Chair Lifts Asbestos encountered will need to be managed. Additional information: The proposed procurement will be a single stage tender, which will be released as a lump sum to a design and build contractor. The form of contract is anticipated to be JCT DB11. Appointment of contractor will be on the basis of the criteria to be published in the tender documents, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the following split: Qualitative assessment [50%]/Quantitative assessments [50%].
