## Summary

The Portsmouth City Council is currently seeking tenders for the replacement of the exterior lighting system at the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. The tender, initiated on 26th November 2018, has a total estimated contract value of approximately £600,000. The deadline for submitting tenders is set for 14th January 2019, with the award of the contract targeted for 19th February 2019. The intended installation completion is by mid-August 2019, with a contract duration of 10 years that may be extended. This procurement is classified under "Lighting systems" and follows an open procedure, aiming to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for potential projects worth up to £3 million over the next six years.

This opportunity is ideal for contractors specialising in design and build, particularly those experienced in lighting systems and capable of providing ongoing support and equipment provision. Businesses that operate under a collaborative partnership model and are equipped to handle complex installations, especially at height, will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. The project not only offers immediate contractual gains but also opens doors for future projects through the established framework agreement, making it a significant prospect for firms looking to expand their engagement with local government contracts.

## Notice

Portsmouth City Council (the 'Council') is seeking tenders for the delivery of a replacement exterior lighting system to the Spinnaker Tower (the 'Tower'), Portsmouth. The Council is targeting to award the contract by 19th February 2019 to allow for installation of the new lighting system by mid-August 2019, ideally earlier, and no later than the end of September. Final configuration testing and commissioning of the control system can take place in the autumn months. Installation works cannot be commenced in earnest until April / May due to the hazards associated with winter weather conditions and rope working at significant height which has an obvious effect on completion date as well. The successful Contractor will be required to work on a 2 stage open book partnership basis under Design & Build terms. The estimated value of the contract inclusive of all design, equipment and installation costs is approx. ?600k. Following installation completion, commissioning and final configuration, the Council will also require the successful contractor / sub-contractor / equipment provider (as appropriate) to provide on-going equipment support and spares provision excluding maintenance and installation works. The contract will run for 10 years extendable on a rolling basis. A multi-supplier framework agreement will be established concurrently via this procurement procedure. The agreement will run for a 6 year term and may be used to let contracts for further Council projects which could equate to ?3M in total. The deadline for tender submissions is 14th January 2019 14:00 with award of contract following on 8th February 2019.
