The intent is to engage with flue specialists for the replacement of SE ducts at three fifteen-storey apartment towers located in Plymouth, United Kingdom. This project is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 1st January 2021. The planned works are expected to commence in May/June 2021 and conclude before September 2021, coinciding with ongoing recladding activities in the towers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and duct installation, particularly those with experience in community or residential projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete for this contract, especially since a minimum of £5m Professional Indemnity Insurance is required. Companies that can provide comprehensive solutions, including design, fabrication, and installation of duct systems, will be particularly advantageous in this procurement process. ## Notice SE DUCT SPECIALIST This notice is raised as Early Market Engagement only and does not constitute a call for competition. Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) are seeking to engage with suitably experienced flue specialists to replace the existing SE ducts cowls to 3nr fifteen-storey residential apartment Towers in Plymouth. The 'SE ducts' are a communal gas flue system commonly used around the mid-20th Century. Each of the Towers benefit from four SE ducts; two larger SE ducts serve gas-fired warm air heaters from 30nr apartments with two smaller ducts serving 15nr apartments each (90nr apartments in total per Tower). Works are currently ongoing to reclad the existing Towers which excludes any works to the SE ducts. Replacement of the SE duct cowls will be the final phase which will commence once the recladding Contractor has withdrawn from site. Works to the SE ducts are programmed to commence in May/June 2021 and should be complete before September 2021 to avoid the requirement for temporary heating. The specialist works comprise a CCTV condition survey of the existing SE ducts, design of new cowl system to the existing ducts, supply and fabrication of new cowls, delivery to site and coordinating crane lift with Main Contractor, installation and commissioning of new cowls, undertake CCTV condition survey upon completion of the works. There will be a requirement for the flue specialists to have a minimum of PS5m Professional Indemnity Insurance. Separate to this appointment PCH are considering the appointment of a Main Contractor to manage installation of the SE Ducts onsite, associated roofing works, and undertake the Resident Liaison Officer and Principal Contractor duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and have issued a separate PIN notice for this, however we would consider multiple modes of delivery of this project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f04faf-02ac-49e9-835a-0665340c1752 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jan 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY HOMES | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL6 5DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Budshead | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Moor View | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 12 Nov 2020 at 14:30 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f04faf-02ac-49e9-835a-0665340c1752 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f04faf-02ac-49e9-835a-0665340c1752 12th November 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.plymouthcommunityhomes.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
