This project falls under the construction work for university buildings category and is located in Birmingham, England. Currently in the tender stage, the deadline for submissions is 27th November 2017, with an expected contract start date of 21st May 2018 and completion set for 12th September 2019. The procurement method is a selective process under the restricted procedure, with a total contract value estimated at £10,300,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, especially those experienced in educational facility refurbishments. Businesses with expertise in high-quality fit-outs, façade treatments, and infrastructure upgrades would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Smaller enterprises and those with a proven track record in similar projects may find this an advantageous avenue for growth within the public sector, especially considering the University’s commitment to creating a sustainable and modern learning environment. ## Notice Aston University's Estates and Capital Developments department have a mission to deliver and maintain a sustainable campus and infrastructure that enhances the student experience and provides high quality accommodation and space that is accessible, efficient, flexible and responds to the needs of all its users. Integral to the ongoing campus redevelopment master plan is the relocation of the Aston Medical School to a new location in the heart of the University campus. To enable this Aston University wish to procure via competitive tender a Principle Contractor to refurbish the Gosta Green Building to create a new Medical School. The scope includes the refurbishment of the existing 5 storey building, including fit out, facade treatments, external landscaping, demolition of the students Union as well as infrastructure upgrades. The Medical School will occupy the east-wing of the existing building whilst the facade of the south and west wings of the existing building will be developed only for future expansion with minimal works to these wings, remaining as shell and core. On completion the scheme will provide two new lecture theatres, flexible teaching space, supporting accommodation along with modern student social areas. The existing building has already been stripped back to the structural frame and internally the works comprise the east wing fit out including new internal partitions, finishes, M&E services and coordination of client direct packages such as IT / AV and Furniture installations. The new Aston Medical School is required for operation for the new academic year in 2019. As a result, the Medical school is scheduled for handover on 12th June 2019 to allow sufficient time to the University to move in before the new student intake. There are also two other work streams to be completed, including the demolitions of the old Students Union and the External Works/Landscaping. The overall practical completion is therefore scheduled for 12th September 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7e6924f-9f07-46f1-bf00-6567a7b20afa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 May 2018 - 12 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,300,000 | | 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 | ASTON UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 7ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45214400 - Construction work for university buildings ## Release History - 26 Oct 2017 at 11:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7e6924f-9f07-46f1-bf00-6567a7b20afa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7e6924f-9f07-46f1-bf00-6567a7b20afa 26th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register Link to advert - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register ## Notice URLs - http://www.aston.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
