The procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 20th February 2017. The estimated contract value is £19 million, and the project is expected to commence on 17th April 2018 and conclude by 31st July 2019. The procurement follows a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, aimed at selecting suitable contractors for this significant development. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for construction companies and contractors experienced in educational and residential building projects, especially those capable of managing complex multi-building developments. Businesses with expertise in sustainable building practices and those with a solid track record in the public sector would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project could potentially lead to further opportunities in the growing education and housing sectors within London. ## Notice New build of housing and schools It is proposed that the two uses on the site are realised through two separate buildings, allowing both distinct phasing during the construction stages and simplicity of ongoing separate maintenance. The school design comprises a new build three storey L-shaped teaching block containing classrooms, group spaces, administration and staff areas. The formal front door is accessed direct from Baltic Street West making good use of a currently secluded area. The classrooms are stacked across three floors. Nursery and Reception classes are on the ground floor with free flow access to their own external space. Pairs of classrooms are located on the first and second floors, giving each year group ownership of independent areas of the building. The circulation is located on the south side of the classrooms assisting with solar shading to the classrooms. Breakout spaces are located adjacent to the entrance to each classroom ensuring they are generous and well lit. The new hall will provide the space for a full catering kitchen and servery, and sufficient storage to allow dining chairs and tables to be easily stored to allow the hall to be used for both sport and gym. The residential units are each simply planned, stacked, dual aspect homes. The height and mass of the residential development has been the subject of much discussion with the Planning Department throughout the development of the Stage 2 design. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d44b52b-0e74-4007-9532-106f7e02b51a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Feb 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Apr 2018 - 31 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £19,000,000 | | 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 | CITY OF LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 11 Jan 2017 at 11:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d44b52b-0e74-4007-9532-106f7e02b51a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d44b52b-0e74-4007-9532-106f7e02b51a 11th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.capitalesourcing.com Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
