## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Gentoo Group Limited for the project titled "Whinfell External Refurbishment," located in Albany, Washington. This project falls under the construction category, specifically focusing on cladding and refurbishment work. The tender is currently in the active stage, with the submission deadline set for 6th August 2019. The estimated value of the project is £730,000, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on 21st October 2019, lasting until 15th April 2020. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, which allows for a wide range of participants in the tendering process.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in refurbishment, cladding, and asbestos removal services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, especially those equipped to manage the decanting of residents during refurbishment works. This project not only offers the potential for substantial financial gain but also allows construction firms to demonstrate their ability to handle sensitive projects involving existing residential properties.

## Notice

The estate of Whinfell, which is located within Albany, Washington, is made up of 22 properties which are all of a non-traditional construction. The house type is commonly known as the "Calder" house type. The construction of a Calder comprises a timber framed structure, with studs at 600 centres, the property is overboarded with asbestos cement panels to form the shell. The property then has a timber cold flat roof covered with a bituminous felt. Because of the poor construction of the properties, the decision has been taken by Gentoo to completely remodel them. In early 2019, Gentoo completed a pilot property at number 16 Whinfell. This tender requires the successful Provider to complete the same form of refurbishment to the remaining 21 properties. One key area in which all tenderers must be conscious of is the need to decant the residents of the properties whilst the works are being undertaken. Arrangements for the decanting will be arranged by Gentoo. Site welfare will be required to be supplied, maintained and secured by the successful Provider. Gentoo are unable to provide any form of free welfare. Additional information: The Tender will go live at 4pm on 07/08/2019 and can be accessed via the Delta Tendering Portal: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/ and then using the tender access code: 2W29C2PV3H
