## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, which is conducting a tender for the refurbishment of washroom facilities at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology located in Wallingford, South East England. This project specifically aims to implement water and electricity-saving measures while upgrading the current facilities, which have not been significantly refurbished since 1978. Key dates include a tender period ending on 1st June 2015, with a contract start date of 15th June 2015 and an end date of 21st August 2015. The procurement is classified under construction work, with a contract value of £75,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction and facilities management companies looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Businesses specialising in refurbishment, sustainable building practices, and operational facility management would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially as the refurbishment will require maintaining ongoing site operations during the work. The collaborative approach with UK Shared Business Services offers suppliers the possibility to engage in a long-term relationship, potentially leading to more future projects within the public sector.

## Notice

This project is to refurbish the existing staff and visitor washroom facilities with specific drivers for water and electrical saving devices and initiatives together with a functional and fit for purpose refurbishment of the spaces including sanitary ware, flooring, wall tiling, ceilings, lighting, doors etc. .The existing washroom facilities to be refurbished are part of the original phase of site development completed in 1974 & 1978 and have not been substantially refurbished since that time. The site will remain operational during the works so the planned works will have to be managed to ensure full access is maintained to adjoining areas and any disruption to activities on site are kept to a minimum. .

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013.

UK SBS currently manages PS700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to PS1bn in 2014/15. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS).
