The successful tenderer will be required to perform the duties of Principal Contractor and Principal Designer ensuring the project is managed and compliant with Regulation 13 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'), managing all subcontracting relationships (e.g., MSF provider, electrics installer, alarm installer). The strategic objective is to safely complete the installation, commissioning and handover of approximately 274 no. individual Modular Secure Facilities (MSFs) that form part of the UK's Volunteer Estate and are under the infrastructure management responsibility of the 13 independent Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations (RFCA). The RFCAs receive their infrastructure funding, direction and guidance from the Ministry of Defence, via the Council of Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations (CRFCA). To note the number of facilities is approximate as the viability of installing MSFs in some locations is still under review and after site survey may be deemed inappropriate for install. Phase 2 is currently being delivered and it is anticipated that the contract will either overlap the end of the Phase 2 works or start near the end date. This PIN is being published to generate interest from those that have performed the duties of a Principal Contractor/Principal Designer. Ideally, we are interested in those parties that may have experience within a military environment. Our intent is to hold a virtual supplier session as a means of market engagement whilst our business case is making its way through the approvals process. Once approval is achieved, and the Cabinet Office have undertaken their assurance activity, we will be in a position in 2024 to competitively tender the provision. I f this sounds like something your organisation would be interested in, please do register your interest by Wednesday, 20 March 2024 via email containing company name and address and key contact details to co-commercialteam@rfca.mod.uk. In due course, we will advise the details of the virtual sessions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d72fb93-f204-4245-ac17-4f9cdc96d9c5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Not Disclosed | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jun 2024 - 1 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | 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 | BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B32 2HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Harborne | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71310000 - Consultative engineering and construction services ## Release History - 29 Feb 2024 at 11:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d72fb93-f204-4245-ac17-4f9cdc96d9c5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d72fb93-f204-4245-ac17-4f9cdc96d9c5 29th February 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Birmingham:-Consultative-engineering-and-construction-services./J5548D3Q4D Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/J5548D3Q4D ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
