The contract involves general building and refurbishment works on projects above £25,000. The majority of the projects are focused on existing buildings on the main campus and nearby satellite buildings. The tender period ended on 28th November 2023, and the contract will run from 31st May 2024 to 30th May 2029. This opportunity provides SMEs and businesses in the construction sector with a chance to compete for projects involving office fit-outs, remodelling, safety improvements, and more. The framework contract allows for the management of sub-contractors. Businesses well-suited for this tender are those experienced in general building works and capable of handling multi-disciplinary projects within the specified value range. ## Notice To submit a bid, please sign up to our e-tendering portal In Tend at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/lancaster/aspx/Home.

This is a framework contract for General Building Works which shall encompass and deliver general building and refurbishment, or improvement works on projects above the value of PS25k. Our previous iteration of this framework was used for works up to PS1.3million, however contractors should be aware that projects of this size are very rare, with 50% of awards made on the previous framework being for projects valued at between PS25,000 and PS50,000, and another 40% of awards being for projects valued between PS50,001 and PS500,000. The framework will predominantly involve working with our existing buildings and may be of a multi-disciplinary nature, whereby the contractors on the framework will be expected to, and capable of, managing their own sub-contractors on a project-by-project basis (no more than 50% of the work is to be sub-contracted). The majority of Lancaster Unviersity's buildings are on the main campus, with a number of satellite buildings within a two-mile radius of Bailrigg. The projects are likely to be varied in nature but will fundamentally involve work on our existing buildings, either internally or externally. Typically, this framework is likely to be used for office fit-outs, remodelling and refurbishment, accessibility and safety alterations and improvements, and fire safety improvement works. It will not include groundworks, civil engineering, high value new builds, or reactive maintenance with a value of less than PS25k. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38011a76-d319-441b-9932-e20951672174 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Apr 2024 | | Contract period | 30 May 2024 - 30 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £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 | LANCASTER UNIVERSITY | | Locality | LANCASTER | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA1 4YW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD44 Lancaster and Wyre | | Local authority | Lancaster | | Electoral ward | University | | Westminster constituency | Lancaster and Wyre | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | ASHTON JOINERY AND BUILDING SERVICES; COLIN BRISCOE CONSTRUCTION; D&G BUILDERS AND JOINERS; PARKINSON BUILDERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 9 May 2024 at 09:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38011a76-d319-441b-9932-e20951672174 - 31 Oct 2023 at 14:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c674201c-a4ac-432e-8fc4-ba2df0d718b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38011a76-d319-441b-9932-e20951672174 9th May 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c674201c-a4ac-432e-8fc4-ba2df0d718b7 31st October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/lancaster/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
