The University has reduced its scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from a peak of 18,851 in 2012 to a low of 8,997 tonnes in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Emissions have risen back to 10,475 tonnes in 2021. The Wivenhoe Campus was completed in the mid-1960s by Kenneth Capon of the Architects Co-Partnership (ACP). It is a purpose designed university campus designed around five interlinked squares set in a 200-acre parkland to the southeast of Colchester. A key feature of the original architectural narrative of the Colchester campus is the metal framed single pane glass windows and the brutalist architecture. It consists of a reinforced concrete frame which has both precast and in-situ elements. The facades have exposed precast concrete columns and non-structural precast mullions. A significant part of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions involves building fabric improvements and a priority will be the original 1960's single pane glass windows across much of the Colchester campus. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45e48e9c-2a06-46d8-9dd6-f4cfdb96a956 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Sep 2023 | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2023 - 23 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £129,982 | | 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 ESSEX | | Locality | COLCHESTER | | Post town | Colchester | | Postcode | CO4 3SQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Colchester | | Electoral ward | Wivenhoe | | Westminster constituency | Harwich and North Essex | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PURCELL ARCHITECTURE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 44221100 - Windows - 44221110 - Window frames - 71314300 - Energy-efficiency consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Sep 2023 at 10:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45e48e9c-2a06-46d8-9dd6-f4cfdb96a956 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45e48e9c-2a06-46d8-9dd6-f4cfdb96a956 28th September 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login?cid=UNIESSEX For further details and to register your interest please go to ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
