This project, classified under the "Construction work" industry, has a total budget of £5,500,000 with a minimum value of £4,750,000. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage following a selective (restricted) procedure. The tender was published on 28th August 2015, and the tender period concluded on 5th October 2015. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2016 and last until 30th September 2017. This construction project offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, especially those specialising in building design and engineering services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly accessible, given the project's scope and the emphasis on collaborative multi-agency working within the newly proposed facility. Suitable competitors may include firms with experience in constructing purpose-built operational spaces, as well as those with a track record of delivering high-quality, service-intensive building projects. ## Notice The aspiration for a purpose-built SCC at Penrith has existed for a number of years, and in parallel, the Constabulary has been reviewing its estate. An emergency service "campus" has developed at Police HQ with the recent addition of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service HQ at Kemplay Bank roundabout. Both bases are frequently used for resilience activity, with each possessing a suite of meeting rooms, and each retaining a single agency strategic command facility. The campus is therefore flexible, though capability and capacity are limited, and it is highly desirable to develop the campus concept as an enabler of daily multi-agency working, including a joint response . It is envisaged the SCC will have a useable floor area of approximately 1000m2 and the police operational useable floor area of 600m2. A design concept shows a building over three floors with the SCC forming the first floor accommodation. To the third floor a small hostel facility will be provided. To balance and promote a cost effective cohesive design a more even spread of accommodation will be provided over the ground and first floor. Specifically much of the SCC will be heavily serviced with essential generator and UPS provision. The police operational accommodation by its nature will be less heavily serviced and require less complex supporting systems. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06816078-1cb6-4db5-a744-fbea66c5c5dd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 5 Oct 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2016 - 30 Sep 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,500,000 | | 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 | CUMBRIA CONSTABULARY - OFFICE OF THE POLICE & CRIME COMMISSIONER | | Locality | PENRITH, CUMBRIA | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA10 2AU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Penrith South | | Westminster constituency | Penrith and Solway | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06816078-1cb6-4db5-a744-fbea66c5c5dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06816078-1cb6-4db5-a744-fbea66c5c5dd 28th August 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/34578 User / Company - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=13395&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data ## Notice URLs - http://www.cumbria.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
