The tender titled "GB-St. Helens: Highcross Remedial Works" focuses on sheltered housing construction work, specifically aimed at addressing issues of water ingress and dampness in newly constructed retirement flats built around 2010. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 20th May 2016. The contract is estimated to be valued between £100,000 and £500,000, and is being pursued through an open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in overhaul and refurbishment work, building alteration, and construction. Companies with expertise in water damage remediation, insulation, and construction know-how would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the scope involves diagnosing and resolving complex issues related to structural integrity and moisture management in residential properties. ## Notice The properties in question are newly constructed retirement flats located within a purpose built complex, the flats were built circa 2010. The block contains 18nr flats and is located in the Rainford area of St. Helens, Merseyside. (WA11 8GF). Tender Documentation to be returned via the Tenderbox rather than via post. Form of Tender along with Schedule of works should be submitted before the tender deadline. The individual flats are suffering from water ingress/ damp around the bay windows. To determine the cause of the water ingress/ damp it was arranged that the external render would be hacked off and to expose the steel member that is located within the cavity wall. During the investigation it was noted that the windows cills were installed incorrectly and any rain water was running back towards the property and soaking the internal walls. It was also noted during the inspection that the steel member had minimal to no insulation to encase it, there was also no insulation in the cavity walls, this will be causing cold spots to the internal walls along the bay windows. Additional investigations were carried out to locate the water ingress to the internal ground floor wall located in the entrance communal hallway. On the first floor walkway a number of concrete flags were lifted and water applied to the surface below the concrete flags. It was noted that the water was falling away from the rain water gullies, and pooling above the ground floor communal hallway. It is believed that the water is finding a way through the surface of the first floor walkway and this is what is causing the dampness to the communal walls below. An investigation of the gutters indicated that the gutters were installed incorrectly and are not falling towards the outlets, which is causing the gutters to over flow when there is heavy persistent rainfall. This will be a contributory factor to the water ingress, please note that the existing gutters are integrated as part of the roof design, further roof repairs might be required. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fe79494-b11e-4b2a-ba53-f2c0825306e3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 20 May 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jun 2016 - 30 Sep 2016 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TORUS 62 LTD. | | Locality | ST HELENS | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA9 1LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | St. Helens | | Electoral ward | Peasley Cross & Fingerpost | | Westminster constituency | St Helens South and Whiston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45211200 - Sheltered housing construction work - 45211341 - Flats construction work - 45262700 - Building alteration work - 45453000 - Overhaul and refurbishment work - 45453100 - Refurbishment work ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fe79494-b11e-4b2a-ba53-f2c0825306e3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fe79494-b11e-4b2a-ba53-f2c0825306e3 22nd April 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-St.-Helens:-Highcross-Remedial-Works/9S24V655P2 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
