The project, classified under the construction industry and designated as a medium-risk procurement, is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 24 February 2022. The contract is expected to run from 1 September 2022 to 31 July 2025 and is valued at approximately £501,000. The procurement method employed is a limited competitive quotation process catering to firms capable of handling metalwork projects. This opportunity presents significant prospects for growth for businesses specialising in steel and metalwork fabrication, particularly those with experience in infrastructure projects. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the necessary certifications, such as Achilles Building Confidence, Constructionline Gold, or CHAS Elite, would be well-positioned to compete. Given the nature of the work and the need for quality and sustainability, firms demonstrating strong capabilities in these areas will likely find themselves at an advantage during the evaluation process. ## Notice *Please note that this opportunity covers 2 separate packages. WP085 Metalwork - Handrails and Balustrades and WP211 Metalwork - Sundry. You are permitted to tender for 1 or both of the subcontract packages should you have the capabilities and capacity to do so. Your Expression of Interest (EOI) will be accepted for 1 or both of the subcontract packages and you will have the opportunity to advise on your preferred package. The scope for these packages are as follows; The provision of metalwork for within Area Central assets including Shafts and Headhouses. WP211 Metalwork - Sundry package shall include, but is not limited to, cat ladders, plant step overs, mesh screens, mesh gratings, crash barriers, handrail internal stairs and landings. SCS will explore opportunities to combine both the metalwork packages should any efficiencies be realised. Supply and fit subcontract package(s) shall be awarded to one or more subcontractors. Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) products may be explored as part of the process. Your company must be able to demonstrate capacity and capability to undertake such works over a period of up to 3 years. Following responses to this opportunity, the supply chain will be shortlisted accordingly. Those that are successful will be invited to prequalify in order to receive a tender enquiry for this package. Prequalification will consist of 'business assurance', which will focus on the supply chain's capability, competence and capacity to work with SCS JV, and (potentially) technical assurance, which provides an opportunity to assess the supply chain's ability to provide the goods and services for the package in question. It is likely that this has been classified as a 'medium-risk' package (to be confirmed), whereby the 'business assurance' element of prequalification may be satisfied if the supply chain partner holds one of the Common Assessment Standard (CAS) accreditations, namely: - Achilles Building Confidence (with Desktop Audit), - Constructionline Gold, or - CHAS Elite. Further to a tender process, final selection will be based upon a balanced-scorecard evaluation. The criteria of this evaluation will consider commercial, technical and qualitative (e.g. health & safety, quality, environment & sustainability, etc.) evidence provided by the tenderers as part of their respective tender bids.
