This tender, identified as RFQ FY19-43, falls within the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry category. Currently in the open procurement stage, the tender period concludes on 14th March 2019, with the contract period set to start on 21st March 2019 and end on 31st March 2020. The anticipated value of the contract is £55,000, with the procurement being conducted by an open procedure, which encourages wide participation from potential suppliers. This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a strong track record in delivering structural engineering projects in the UK. Companies that specialise in engineering services and have experience with projects involving traditional construction methods would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate past performance, project readiness, and organisational capability, making this a prime opportunity for qualified engineering firms looking to expand their portfolio and engage in a substantial development project. ## Notice The opportunity is open to Structural Engineers with experience of delivering similar projects within the UK, the winning tenderer (henceforth called the Structural Engineers) will be expected to deliver the services as highlighted in the attached Structural Engineer Services Schedule (Annex B) of the new 1100m2 DISC III centre at Harwell Campus, Didcot. It is proposed that the building be constructed using a traditional system and the works must allow for this to be tendered competitively using the JCT Design & Build Contract (with amendments). The build budget will be PS2.6m including professional fees. Tenderers will be asked to demonstrate their experience of delivering similar projects, suitability of their proposed team, lessons learnt from similar projects and details of their programme and organisation structure. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03637711-ad2e-451d-a022-33820c3c757c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 14 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £55,000 | | 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 | SATELLITE APPLICATIONS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | DIDCOT | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX11 0QR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Vale of White Horse | | Electoral ward | Hendreds | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 21 Feb 2019 at 14:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03637711-ad2e-451d-a022-33820c3c757c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03637711-ad2e-451d-a022-33820c3c757c 21st February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/76db58dc-a667-45a0-9774-586659d68ce3 Invitation to tender documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6da635b0-72f1-455a-a271-c466efacec48 Scope of services required - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c2ad0581-d9ae-44a9-889e-3b2da3eabe9e Terms of Purchase ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
