The procurement stage is at the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for June 23, 2023. The project falls under the industry category of electrical installation work, with a focus on mechanical installations and engineering design services. The Bank is seeking suppliers who can provide design, supply and installation services for the upgrade works. This tender by the Bank of England presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in electrical and mechanical installations, particularly those with expertise in heritage restoration and engineering design services for buildings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate due to the nature of the project. Interested parties should carefully review the tender requirements, ensuring they can meet the Bank's specifications for the modernisation of the yard gates, which include implementing modern safety features and custom manufacturing of mechanical parts. ## Notice The Bank is looking to procure mechanical and electrical upgrade works to our yard gates and related components at our Threadneedle Street location as well as implement modern safety features where achievable. The works include design, supply and installation. The heritage doors are circa 90 years old, approximately 5 meters high and weigh several tonnes. Access to the running gear is extremely limited. The original mechanics are to be removed and replaced where feasible. Due to the age of some mechanical parts it is anticipated that custom manufacturing may be required. Access through the gates is required while works are ongoing. The Bank would like to understand whether suppliers can provide the full works in scope of this requirement. If your organisation can provide the works described, please e-mail the address below, quoting the reference FMN/187 in the subject, and include any relevant examples of similar projects you have undertaken (maximum 3 sides of A4). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40af5b93-0683-4b30-9735-d64d5f6ce8b7 | | 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 | 14 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Jun 2023 | | 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 | BANK OF ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2R 8AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Walbrook | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45310000 - Electrical installation work - 45350000 - Mechanical installations - 45351000 - Mechanical engineering installation works - 45421148 - Installation of gates - 71321000 - Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings ## Release History - 14 Jun 2023 at 09:11 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40af5b93-0683-4b30-9735-d64d5f6ce8b7 - 9 Jun 2023 at 14:45 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40af5b93-0683-4b30-9735-d64d5f6ce8b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40af5b93-0683-4b30-9735-d64d5f6ce8b7 14th June 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
