Overview: Furness College currently comprises college offices, reception, foyer, and bar to the A floor, offices to the B & C Floors, and roof top flats to the D Floor. The scope of works is to convert the existing Furness College C Floor Offices into seven Apartments with between nine and ten bedrooms per Apartment block. The current RIBA Stage 2 proposal totals 65 bedrooms. Each bedroom will be furnished with a fitted bed, desk, and wardrobe, with individual Wi-Fi access point and data connection; whilst each flat will be fitted out with a communal kitchen/living space and shower rooms. The provision of new kitchens, shower rooms and the inclusion of washbasins in each bedroom will require new Soil and Vent Pipes to be installed and connected to the existing foul drainage system below ground level. Core drilling through the concrete floor slabs will be necessary for the drainage systems to be commissioned and new pipe boxings, bulkheads, and false ceilings will need to be constructed on the A & B Floors. To limit disruption to the occupants of the B Floor, some staged completion and decanting of staff may be necessary. New L2 fire detection and alarm systems will be installed to the Apartments. The construction work is planned to take place during the summer of 2022 but the campus will remain live with staff and students still living and working around the site. Construction cost estimate for the scheme is currently in the range of PS1m to PS1.3m. There is no work to be completed in Bowland Annexe. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1840bf2-a14b-40ec-a5eb-a949a2e2b307 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 15 May 2022 - 26 Aug 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,600,000 | | 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 | 1 | | Supplier names | PARKINSON BUILDERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 28 Mar 2023 at 14:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1840bf2-a14b-40ec-a5eb-a949a2e2b307 - 25 Jan 2022 at 17:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c5a57a9-138a-44a6-9d8d-ae93510b0c38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1840bf2-a14b-40ec-a5eb-a949a2e2b307 28th March 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c5a57a9-138a-44a6-9d8d-ae93510b0c38 25th January 2022 - 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.
