Some of this infrastructure is original circa 60 years old. STFC have identified a substantial maintenance backlog list, which forms the focus of the request for the support of a specialist HV/LV Design Consultancy, with large, complexed site Infrastructure design experience. The list is comprised of a large variety of interventions to the electrical infrastructure such as cable overlays for capacity, replacements for service life, and remedial works following faults on the network. There is a clear need for a long-term infrastructure masterplan to address this deficit. At this time, we understand that planning the maintenance work should be mindful to the need for a masterplan. The supplier is to be capable to design and deliver Infrastructure Master planning especially where we are making significant investment into the existing infrastructure. https://www.ukri.org/who-we-are/procurement-contract-transparency-data/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c294d4db-ca8d-4dda-8956-2a47b8060039 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Jan 2024 | | Contract period | 12 Jan 2024 - 11 Jan 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £950,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £950,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK RESEARCH AND INNOVATION | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WSP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71244000 - Calculation of costs, monitoring of costs ## Release History - 30 Jul 2024 at 10:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c294d4db-ca8d-4dda-8956-2a47b8060039 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c294d4db-ca8d-4dda-8956-2a47b8060039 30th July 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=879170119 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.ukri.org/who-we-are/procurement-contract-transparency-data/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
