## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by East Suffolk Council, seeking contractors for the project titled "GB-Lowestoft: Royal Plains Fountains." This tender falls under the works category, specifically focusing on refurbishment, and is located in Lowestoft, East of England. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 25 March 2020. The total value of the contract is estimated at £500,000, with a minimum value of £100,000. This selective procurement method involves a competitive dialogue to evaluate submissions based on lifetime costs for the refurbishment and maintenance of the fountain system.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSE) to engage in a lucrative project that involves updating and maintaining public infrastructure. Businesses with expertise in design, installation, and non-emergency maintenance of fountain systems would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender. This project not only aims to enhance public amenities but also provides a platform for businesses to establish long-term relationships with local authorities through ongoing support and maintenance contracts.

## Notice

We are seeking a contractor to provide a full overhaul of the system by redesigning and upgrading all water jets/LED heads and to ensure that all other associated plant is fully operational, serviceable and future proofed (serviceable parts available). The supplier will also be in a position to provide ongoing support for any required call out and to undertake seasonal mobilisation and demobilisation of the system to provide a winter shut down. This is therefore a design and installation tender to update the overall system with the addition of a maintenance contract. Details should be submitted within the return documents and all elements will be evaluated so that full anticipated lifetime costs can be considered (any award will consider the whole life costs of the fountains). 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.
