This tender falls under the construction of industrial buildings, with an estimated value of £1,300,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period closes on 13 July 2017. The contract is scheduled to start on 30 September 2017 and run until 30 November 2017, indicating a focused timeframe for contractors to deliver essential repairs to the water-damaged buildings while ensuring compliance with conservation standards. This procurement presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction and repair services, particularly those experienced in emergency works within historic conservation areas. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in addressing issues of water ingress and structural decay will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, allowing them to engage in significant repair undertakings while enhancing their reputations in handling specialised projects. Collaboration with a professional team to establish methodologies for efficient work execution will also be vital for prospective bidders. ## Notice The emergency repair works are to be carried out in the old market buildings of the West Smithfield Market site. The building is unlisted but is positioned at the heart of the Smithfield Conservation Area and its presence contributes to the character of the Conservation Area. The general condition of these buildings is poor, with areas of decay and localized collapse, mostly caused by historic water ingress. The works in Contract 3 follow two smaller construction contracts that have addressed specific defects in the buildings. The first contract undertook some emergency repair works to the roof, to address the worst areas of rainwater ingress. Contract 2, which is on-going, will prop areas of the structure that are defective and in a state of semi collapse. The propping has been designed in a way that will enable access so that the professional team can carry out site surveys to define the repair works required in Contract 3. The proposed works forming Contract 3 are essentially emergency works and will include making areas of the structure safe, providing temporary propping / repairs to decayed timber structures and repairing areas of the roof to address water ingress. A substantial portion of this contract is likely to involve working in areas where the structure has been affect by water ingress and rot therefore localised dismantling will be required. The works are likely to involve sorting through the fabric to salvage items and allowing them to be stored on site and clearing the rest from site. The successful Contractor will be invited to establish a methodology and sequencing of this process to meet the objectives of the Design Team. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9ecd568-2fa3-4cc5-97b0-bfbee09c603e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jul 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2017 - 30 Nov 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,300,000 | | 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 CORPORATION | | 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 - 45213250 - Construction work for industrial buildings ## Release History - 30 Jun 2017 at 09:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9ecd568-2fa3-4cc5-97b0-bfbee09c603e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9ecd568-2fa3-4cc5-97b0-bfbee09c603e 30th June 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.
