The tender, titled "GB-Leeds: Z/3395 Bespoke External Furniture at Edward Boyle Library," falls under the construction works category. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender submission deadline set for 29th October 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 26th November 2018 and continue until 31st January 2019, with a project budget ranging from £50,000 to £100,000. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction and bespoke furniture manufacturing. Interested businesses should possess the capability to manage on-site coordination and have a strong understanding of furniture design and procurement. Given that the University is open to proposals from various manufacturers, companies that can offer innovative alternatives or collaborate with established suppliers, such as Factory Furniture, may find a competitive advantage in this tendering process. ## Notice The tender is for the co-ordination, fabrication / supply and installation / assembly of bespoke furniture for a location outside the University of Leeds Edward Boyle Library on the University's main campus. It is proposed that the main contractor co-ordinate preliminary on-site work necessary (e.g. setting support dowels for tables into the ground) and commissioning, delivery and installation of the bespoke benches and tables. Manufacturer of the benches and tables is to be contractor's choice, or they are welcome to undertake this in-house. However, to date the project has been discussed with Factory Furniture due to similarities with items of furniture that are in their standard range and existing furniture at The University. Should alternatives to working with Factory Furniture be proposed, proposals / working method to be included with tender return. Detail design of benches and tables - including but not limited to concrete mix, supports for slats, lifting eyes, dowel to secure table supports, means of drainage, levelling shims - to be agreed with manufacturer and approved by University of Leeds Architectural Technical Officer prior to manufacture. Drawings show a proposal to move a wayfinding point / sign presently on the site. This will be co-ordinated by the University if it goes ahead. If it doesn't, the spacing of the benches and orientation of bench B1 will be adjusted to suit (as shown in the feasibility document) Drawings show a proposal for bespoke planters outside the Edward Boyle Library windows.

Some details in the feasibility study have been superseded - where they contradict with other documents it is the other documents which should be referred to. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8444440-47f1-46ae-a74f-2b75372ce122 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 29 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Nov 2018 - 31 Jan 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 9JU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 8 Oct 2018 at 15:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8444440-47f1-46ae-a74f-2b75372ce122 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8444440-47f1-46ae-a74f-2b75372ce122 8th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Leeds:-Z/3395-Bespoke-External-Furniture-at-Edward-Boyle-Library/A872Y835G2 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
