This recruitment falls under the construction industry and is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 5:00pm on 30th June 2017, and quotations due by 5:00pm on 24th November 2017. The project is expected to commence shortly after the contract award on 3rd July 2017 and to be completed within a timeframe of 3-6 months. The budget for the project ranges from £2,500 to £24,999, qualifying it for a detailed written quotation without a formal tender process. This opportunity can significantly facilitate business growth for companies that provide quality assurance certifications, particularly those with a focus on ISO standards. Given the nature of this tender, businesses with expertise in accreditation processes, especially for ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2016, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, benefiting from Longworth's reputation as an industry innovator and potential for contract expansion as it scales operations. ## Notice Background - Longworth is one of the UK's leading envelope contractors, offering a complete turnkey service of design, installation and project management. Over the years, we've become renowned for being an industry innovator. Building on our established reputation for being master craftsmen in the use of traditional metal products such as zinc, copper and stainless steel, since 1999 we have extended our skills and expertise to cover the whole of the external building envelope and all to the highest of specifications. Longworth Building Services Ltd has continually expanded their facilities in Haydock, St Helens to serve a growing customer base. Currently employing 50 people, the company is experiencing a period of substantial expansion and requires quality systems and procedures to be put in place both to open up new markets and as a platform for growth. Requirement This RFQ is to carry out the accreditation procedure to gain ISO certification for 9001 and 14001. Longworth operates within the highly competitive construction industry. As Longworth grows we will be expected to operate to UKAS accredited ISO standards (ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2016 initially with ISO45001 to be added on when it becomes available). Equally, as we grow, we will need recognised procedures in place to cope with the company expansion. Quotations are invited from appropriately qualified accreditation bodies for audit and certification. Deliverable Timescale - We are looking to commence the project immediately and complete within 3-6 months. Indicative Budget - This work will be part funded though the European Regional Development Fund. The project falls within the PS2,500 - PS24,999 bracket and therefore, under current Public Procurement Regulations, there is no formal tender procedure but a detailed written quotation is required. Proposal Format - Proposals should clearly demonstrate how they meet the requirement set out above. Deadline and Submission - Expressions of interest are required by 5.00pm on Friday 30th June 2017 and quotations are required by 5:00pm on Friday 24th November, either electronically or by post/in person to Ben Parker, Business Development Manager, Longworth, North Florida Road, Haydock Industrial Estate, St Helens, Merseyside, WA11 9UB Tel. 0845 634 1370 Email: benparker@longworth-uk.com ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f14bd600-97a9-44f5-90c7-66e0655be122 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jul 2017 - 30 Sep 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £24,999 | | 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 | ST HELENS CHAMBER LIMITED | | Locality | ST HELENS | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA11 9UB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | St. Helens | | Electoral ward | Haydock | | Westminster constituency | St Helens North | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72225000 - System quality assurance assessment and review services ## Release History - 20 Jun 2017 at 15:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f14bd600-97a9-44f5-90c7-66e0655be122 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f14bd600-97a9-44f5-90c7-66e0655be122 20th June 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9b388587-f4ab-4391-bb25-e0ed6d73bcf9 Request for Quotation Document - https://www.sthelenschamber.com/app/uploads/2017/06/RFQ-ISO-Accreditation-Longworth-200618.docx RFQ Document ## Notice URLs - http://www.longworth-uk.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
