The tender is currently at the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 12:00 on Friday, 31st August 2018. The total estimated contract value is £42,000, with a minimum requirement of £20,000. The works are set to commence on 9th September 2018 and are expected to be completed by 31st December 2018. This procurement falls under the construction sector, specifically targeting repair and maintenance services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction companies, particularly those specialising in underpinning techniques and foundation repairs. Businesses that have demonstrated experience in similar projects within the last five years, and have effective safety measures for public areas, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The competitive quotation process aims to ensure fair pricing and selection of qualified contractors capable of meeting the project demands before the winter season. ## Notice This piece of work needs to be done in the Oxfordshire and Maidenhead areas. Full description of works needed are attached. The Environment Agency owns circa 71 residential properties to which basic repairs and maintenance is periodically needed. Recent surveys have highlighted some underpinning work is urgently needed to Lock Houses at Sandford on Thames, Oxford, OX4 4YD; Days Lock, Little Wittenham, Abingdon, OX14 4RB and Cookham Lock, Odney Lane, Maidenhead, Cookham SL6 9SR. The causes are a combination of drainage problems causing water leaks, and the addition of extensions in the 1960s and 1970s with insufficient foundations resulting in differential movement. No framework contract has been identified that can deliver this contract. Key personnel.
