This project, classified under the CPV code for construction work, is currently in the tender stage, with the procurement method being a selective restricted procedure. The end date for tender submissions is set for 9th August 2019, and the successful contractor is expected to start mobilisation in February 2020, with the contract period running until 30th July 2021. The estimated value of the contract is between £5,900,000 and £6,200,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction firms specialising in building works, particularly those with experience in fire station construction. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant qualifications and have the capability to manage subcontractors will find this to be a compelling opportunity to engage with a significant public sector project. Those interested should complete the pre-qualification documents as part of the two-stage tendering process. ## Notice Royal Berkshire Fire Authority "the Authority" is seeking to award a contract for the construction of a new Fire Station at Theale, Reading. This tender is for the appointment of a main contractor to manage the construction and remediation works required to build the new fire station at the site, including managing the required ground remediation works. The Authority has recently carried out a tender for the remediation works and identified a remediation contractor and agreed price for this part of the project. The appointed main contractor will therefore be required to take on this supplier as a listed domestic sub-contractor. The main contractor will be responsible for the appointment of any other sub contractors required to deliver the construction of the fire station. The tender is being run as a two stage tender and suitably experienced organisations are invited to complete the SSQ / PAS91 included in this tender pack. The Authority intends to shortlist six suppliers to tender for this project. The successful supplier will need to be able to commence mobilisation in February 2020 and the complete construction of the fire station by July 2021. This tender pack includes all the supporting information. The final bill of quantities document will be made available shortly. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f9ae8ee-123d-4439-8c3d-b20c77c85db4 | | 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 | 11 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 9 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2020 - 30 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,200,000 | | 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 | ROYAL BERKSHIRE FIRE AUTHORITY | | Locality | PINCENTS KILN | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG31 7SD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | West Berkshire | | Electoral ward | Tilehurst Birch Copse | | Westminster constituency | Reading West and Mid Berkshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45216121 - Fire station construction work ## Release History - 11 Jul 2019 at 11:00 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f9ae8ee-123d-4439-8c3d-b20c77c85db4 - 10 Jul 2019 at 16:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f9ae8ee-123d-4439-8c3d-b20c77c85db4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f9ae8ee-123d-4439-8c3d-b20c77c85db4 11th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/publicpurchase_frameset.asp?PID=29098&B=UK&PS=1&PP=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders Full details of the tender and access to the documents can be found at ## Notice URLs - http://www.rbfrs.co.uk/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
