Projects will vary between £200,000 and £1,800,000 and may include refurbishment, modernisation, new builds, and maintenance. The tender, named "Small Contractors Framework," is in the selective procurement stage with a tender deadline of January 8, 2024, and a contract period starting on January 9, 2024. This tender by Nottingham Trent University presents business growth opportunities for construction firms willing to partner with the university's internal Estates teams. Small to medium-sized contractors capable of offering design services and meeting professional indemnity insurance requirements are well-suited to compete. The framework mainly targets works in the construction industry category and is suitable for contractors experienced in delivering projects in university settings. ## Notice Nottingham Trent University is seeking to appoint a maximum of three Contractors who will form a Framework that will provide construction services to the University across all campuses as and when required. The University shall conduct further competitions (inviting all three appointed contractors to bid) to award projects. The University reserves the right to award projects directly to one of the contractors for reasons of genuine urgency/emergency. The Contractors shall work in Partnership with NTU internal Estates teams to fulfil projects that NTU Construction Services are unable to undertake themselves. Project sizes shall vary between PS200,000 and PS1,800,000 gross. The University reserves the right to put projects above this value out to tender to the open market to ensure value for money. Works shall mainly be refurbishment and modernisation projects, alterations, new build works and maintenance of typical university buildings. This will include but not be limited to laboratories, small and complex lecture theatres, libraries, cafe and commercial kitchens, offices (individual and open plan), public areas, meeting rooms, conference rooms, accommodation, plant areas, etc. Buildings will be of varying age/condition, including listed/heritage type buildings. The work will be in the form of individual projects, with details being provided via a scope of works, usually with proposed drawings and where available design guides and standard specification. Depending on the scheme and University involved, designs may be provided by the University, or the Contractor will be asked to produce them. Appointed Contractors must therefore be able to provide a design service and be willing to take on design responsibility and have appropriate levels of professional indemnity insurances for the call-off contract in question. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f54a3b2b-d95d-4dcd-94e2-39f7c93e0428 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Jan 2024 - 10 Jan 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,000,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAM TRENT UNIVERSITY (NTU) | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG1 4FQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | St. Ann's | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 4 Dec 2023 at 13:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f54a3b2b-d95d-4dcd-94e2-39f7c93e0428 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f54a3b2b-d95d-4dcd-94e2-39f7c93e0428 4th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=75821&B=NTU All correspondence and Tender submissions should be made vis the EU Supply tendering portal. - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/128806 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
