This project falls under the industry category of prison building construction work and was planned to begin on 24 November 2023, with an estimated completion date of 14 March 2025. The project, valued at £1,500,000, followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1 August 2023. Galliford Try Construction (UK) Ltd has been appointed as the supplier under a two-stage Design and Build Contract, specifically using the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract. The initial stage involves pre-construction surveys and design services valued at £33,282.9. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in prison infrastructure and related facilities. The contractor appointed will need to manage both demolition and construction, additionally providing complex services such as building video conference rooms, face-to-face meeting rooms, and compliant facilities. Large construction firms with experience in similar public sector projects and the ability to meet stringent compliance regulations are particularly well-suited for such tenders. The provision of a modern video conferencing centre at HMP Chelmsford will not only enhance the prison's operational capacities but will also create substantial growth opportunities for firms capable of handling large-scale, intricate construction projects. ## Notice The works will make provision for the demolition of the existing facilities within the scope and the construction of a new video conference centre, comprising 8 no. 32'' screen VCC rooms (for a single occupant), 3 no. face-to-face rooms (for a single inmate and visitor), 1 no. 43'' screen VCC rooms (for single occupant - EA compliant), 4 no. 43'' screen VCC room (for two occupants), 1 no. VCC office suite with tea point, 1 no. new EA-compliant WC, 1 no. data room, and external plant space. During the period of construction, 8 no. temporary legal visit spaces will be constructed on the First Floor, in the main public visits area. A constructor has been appointed for the design and build of the project. This is a two stage Design and Build Contract let under the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract. The original estimated value of the contract was calculated by MOJ, and its Cost Consultants following desktop and non-intrusive surveys and was based on information reasonably known at the time and arrived at via a thorough and appropriate methodology. The first stage will involve the constructor providing Pre-construction surveys and design services at a cost of PS33,2829. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534d5cc6-a05a-4c07-b6c1-c522ba6c994b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | 24 Nov 2023 - 14 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,500,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GALLIFORD TRY CONSTRUCTION (UK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45216113 - Prison building construction work ## Release History - 20 Sep 2024 at 16:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534d5cc6-a05a-4c07-b6c1-c522ba6c994b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534d5cc6-a05a-4c07-b6c1-c522ba6c994b 20th September 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/390d2a37-628d-427d-a487-26a4e0c27707 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
