The tender, classified under construction work and specifically for gas distribution services, has a total value of £200,000. It is currently in the tender stage, having a submission deadline on 31st July 2020, with the contract period set to commence on 21st August 2020 and extend until 11th September 2020. The opportunity is available through an open procurement method, and further information can be found via the University's e-tendering portal. This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and gas distribution services. Companies that possess experience in working within confined spaces and are capable of handling the infrastructure replacement are well-suited to submit proposals. As the project is not lotted, the successful bidder will secure the entirety of the works, making this tender an attractive prospect for small and medium enterprises eager to expand their portfolio in the public sector. ## Notice The University is inviting tenders on the terms set out in the ITT. The Spine Service Duct at Lancaster University was originally constructed in the mid 1960's and contains multiple services to facilitate interconnecting buildings. The Main Duct is approximately 1 kilometre long, and is sub divided into two equal halves, North & South. The Duct is also a designated confined space. The Main Duct interlocks with approximately 20 No. sub ducts, each sub duct forms a service entry into the associated buildings. The Duct system equates to approximately 2100 metres in total. The University commissioned a DSEAR risk assessment, and subsequently the Natural Gas Infrastructure is undergoing a replacement/upgrade programme. This project involves the replacement of RAG rated aging gas infrastructure with stainless steel gas pipework and fittings, located within the sub ducts. The majority of the works is located in a designated confined space, and as such the contractor will have to be fully aware of the restrictions and constraints that this will put upon the project. The University is adopting a phased approach ensuring the Spine Duct and sub ducts continue to be compliant with legislation. Further work packages will be developed for future phases. The location of the site is Bailrigg Campus, Lancaster, LA1 4YW. This tender is not lotted. One contractor will be awarded the full package of work. The University will host an accompanied site visit on Monday 27th July 2020 . Please register your intention to attend via the In-Tend 'correspondence' function by 10am Friday 24th July 2020 as you will be allocated a time slot. The University will only host site visits on Monday 27th July 2020 as a Confined Spaces Rescue team will be in attendance on that day only.
