This procurement, classified under ventilation ducting and related services, is currently at the tender stage with a deadline for submission set for 21 January 2019. The contract is valued at £210,000 and will commence on 17 February 2019, lasting until 31 January 2020. The procurement method is a direct approach through a single tender action, falling below required financial thresholds. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) experienced in ventilation installation and engineering services. Businesses specialising in ventilation solutions, installation services, or engineering might particularly benefit from this opportunity to support ongoing activities within a state-of-the-art research facility. Engaging in this project could not only enhance their portfolio but also potentially lead to further contracts with the UKAEA or other governmental entities in the future. ## Notice A new active ventilation system to support ongoing activities in MRF building within the Fusion room is required [1]. The system will comprise of the following: 1. A new dry glove box extract to support the proposed 11 glove boxes to be located in the Fusion Room. In addition, the existing red extract system in the facility will be coupled with the new glovebox extract system. Such that, in the event of a fan failure at either the red extract or glovebox extract, the other fan can deliver the duty of both the red extract and glovebox extract systems. 2. Integrate the control philosophy of the existing red extract fan and the glovebox extract to enable them to act as duty/ standby in the event of either of the fans failing. UKAEA have completed an option assessment which identifies that considerable advantages that can be gained by coupling the existing red extract system with the Glovebox extract system which will add complementary resilience in terms of duty/ standby for both the red extract and glove box systems. The glovebox extract shall be sited where the space for the provisional standby red extract fan is located, the ventilation control panel and inverters will be located within the space provision available for the standby red extract fan. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Feb 2019 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £210,000 | | 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 | UKAEA UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 39563530 - Ventilation ducting - 39714000 - Ventilating or recycling hoods - 45331210 - Ventilation installation work - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 10 Jan 2019 at 08:43 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d - 8 Jan 2019 at 14:04 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d - 11 Dec 2018 at 10:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d - 29 Nov 2018 at 16:12 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d - 29 Nov 2018 at 15:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4294fa8b-1741-4681-b543-3245a1d15b7d 10th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a6a32bca-00c5-421c-a297-a3c39bd8e9e6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7cf0aca1-b474-4a64-8d95-a1b6a856f9b8 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cfb376b8-6d2c-4db6-9563-d184abca337b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a8f8f041-32d5-4927-ac61-edec68d87d5f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cf66490f-c3b6-47fc-ab1d-774e8733987a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fce023f0-4f8b-422f-82d4-16f2ddd2839a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8574af1c-2221-467b-bc19-7e2a76982f9b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/563f8200-32d2-4080-b9f6-dac72481c6b7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bfb56272-12db-482c-bd1b-43ca33eb49c3 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/503df895-f0e5-4a76-b8db-cb3d02bee694 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8d2be3eb-7af2-4fef-b9d0-e4617316e2fc - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6e060bb0-cd1c-4e1a-986d-32fd762c0345 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8bda3e91-9f99-4603-8145-289afdd0d639 CD/S/C001 Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6527a983-0b10-4961-936f-c0aaa972808e Document No. 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0e04e3d8-5fd5-4d9a-922b-1ac8136a6ed6 Document No. 2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
