## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is currently seeking tenders for the "BHC Ottawa, Canada - Plantroom Cladding" project, valued at £2,000,000, which falls under the refurbishment works category. This procurement is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 2nd March 2018. The project involves recladding a penthouse at the British High Commission's Ottawa office, originally built in the early 1960s, due to deterioration and safety concerns. The works are expected to commence on 4th June 2018 and complete by 31st October 2018, necessitating careful planning to minimise disruption to site operations in London.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the construction and refurbishment sectors, particularly those specialising in cladding, safety installations, and site management. Companies that are experienced in managing projects with operational constraints and can demonstrate a strong focus on safety and stakeholder engagement will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability indicated for their involvement in this project.

## Notice

The British High Commission (BHC) in Ottawa is an eight storey concrete framed office building which was built in the early 1960's and owned by the FCO. The 'Penthouse', which is located on the roof of the building and houses the buildings mechanical plant, is to reclad due to continued cracking/spalling of granite cladding panels. The penthouse has been identified as having the highest risk of further spalling with the potential of debris falling to ground level. The building has had temporary safety measures installed to prevent as far as practicable, more debris falling to road level, but this is a passive measure and will not prevent further deterioration in the granite cladding over time. The Works are to take place on the FCO's site at the BHC. The site is fully operational and in some areas 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. The works should cause minimal disruption to users of the site, will need to be carefully planned and phased and will attract a considerable amount of scrutiny from the various stakeholders involved in the project. Additional information: For further details and instructions how to access the SQ (PQQ) document please see the attached 'How to Register' document. This will require registering with the FCO Procurement portal 'e-Bravo'.
