Classified under the "Electrical wiring work" industry category, this project falls under the "works" procurement category with a contract value of £300,000. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure. The contract period is from 10th June 2024 to 16th August 2024. Key dates to note include the tender end date on 20th March 2024 and the award date on 22nd March 2024. This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for SME electrical contractors who are NICEIC approved and have experience in managing specialised sub-contractors. The project requires substantial expertise, making it ideal for firms with a track record of similar projects in terms of scope, value, and timescale. Successful completion of such a contract can enhance the contractor’s portfolio, providing credibility and a competitive edge in future procurement opportunities. Businesses capable of providing skilled site-based representatives and demonstrating compliance with relevant regulations are well-suited to compete for such tenders. ## Notice The Council is seeking a NICEIC Approved Electrical Contractor to act as the Principal Contractor with the capability and experience to manage specialist sub-contractors to undertake and execute the contract works. The Council will not consent to the whole of the works to be sub-contracted. It is essential that this project is successfully executed within 10 weeks whilst only one of the wings will be available to completely shunt down for carrying out the works and the others will be operated with residents staying in all the time, so the Contractor will need to demonstrate they have recently completed at least one similar project successfully (similar scope of work, similar value and similar timescale) and they have the competency and sufficient resources to meet these requirements. The project requirements but not limited to below are: i. Replacement of the existing normal lighting with new LED lighting except those in the bedrooms and lounges. ii. Replacement of the emergency lighting with new LED emergency lighting. iii. Replacement of existing main panel board and distribution boards with integral residual current protection and arc fault detection device protections to all final circuits with socket outlets. iv. Replacement and modification of the existing fire alarm system to assure the entire fire alarm system in compliance with up-to-date regulations. v. Replacement of the nurse call system throughout the building. vi. Installation of infrastructure for new WiFi system. vii. Other miscellaneous such as relocation of the existing uninterrupted power supply and upgrade of the existing automatic transfer switch etc. at Alexandra Way Residential Care Home, 3 Alexandra Way, Thornbury, BS35 1LA. The Contractor shall appoint a full-time site-based representative (i.e. site/contract manager) throughout the works on site. It is expected the Contractor will have to work longer weekdays and weekends during the works period to complete the work within the contract programme requirements and include these costs in their tender. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The Contractors will need to demonstrate they are fully conversant with their responsibilities under the Regulations in their tender return and allow for all costs associated with their management of the Contract. The whole of the works are to be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the JCT Standard Building Contract without Quantities 2016, published on behalf of The Joint Contracts Tribunal Limited by Thomson Reuters (Legal) Limited trading as Sweet & Maxwell. The Contractor shall obtain a copy of The Joint Contracts Tribunal Limited Standard Building Contract without Quantities 2016 and shall make themselves aware of the conditions therein. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3a9ffaa-d257-4df0-93b1-98775db6dadc | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | 13 Jul 2024 - 16 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £300,000 | | 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 | SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS37 0DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Yate Central | | Westminster constituency | Thornbury and Yate | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ABBEY ELECTRICAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45311100 - Electrical wiring work ## Release History - 29 Jan 2025 at 11:16 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3a9ffaa-d257-4df0-93b1-98775db6dadc - 1 Mar 2024 at 17:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d0cf6b4-1d02-4faf-a488-dee6574a48b1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3a9ffaa-d257-4df0-93b1-98775db6dadc 29th January 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d0cf6b4-1d02-4faf-a488-dee6574a48b1 1st March 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=1f02015f-efd7-ee11-8127-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.southglos.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
