The early engagement notice has been published, and the engagement end date is set for 9th September 2024. The procurement is focusing on the construction of a fire station and training facility that will need to meet both UK and US design standards, with an estimated value of approximately £25 million. The initial design phase is anticipated to take place from late 2024 to late 2025, with construction expected to start in early 2026 and complete around 18 months later. This project includes new build adjacent to the existing structure, transition phases, and eventual demolition of the old facility. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the construction industry, especially those with experience in designing and building fire stations or facilities that meet complex international standards. Companies adept in frameworks such as single-stage or two-stage design and build, as well as those familiar with high-security operations, will find this project particularly suitable. The Ministry of Defence is interested in hearing from potential bidders regarding their preferred delivery method and their interest in bidding for this ITT once it goes live. Furthermore, the project provides a substantial opportunity for firms to secure a sizeable contract and expand their portfolio with a prestigious government project. ## Notice We are seeking engagement for the delivery of a Fire Station at RAF Menwith Hill. The route to market will be on a framework, however, which framework is yet to be decided. We seek responses from industry as to which delivery method is preferential - single stage design and build, two stage design and build or design, bid, build (authority design). Please let us know if you would bid on this project and also irrespective of this, which your preferred option is for deign. Additional information can be found in the attachment. Additional information: Estimated value approx. PS25m. Design expected to take place late 2024 to late 2025. Construction start expected to be early 2026, to complete around 18 months later. Works are outside high security Ops area but still within overall site boundary. Full Planning application expected. Fire station and training facility will accommodate UK fire appliances and personnel but will need to conform to US design standards as well (so, not quite standard UK construction). New facility will need to accommodate 24/7/365 staffing. Base fire alarm system interface is in the fire station and is closed protocol (so, imposes a nominated sub-contractor - ADT). Project calls for new build adjacent to existing, transition from old to new, and demolition of old needed before final landscaping (so a phased approach but with no expected 'fallow' periods). Project includes 'Medical Facility' capability but this will be a simple clinic room not a specialised medical facility. E.g. no Xray or any other specialised med equipment needed. Please confirm whether you would be interested in bidding for this ITT when it goes live. Please also confirm your preference of Design/Bid/Build, which method you would be most likely to bid on; 1) 2-stage 35% design 2) Single stage 35% design 3) Single stage 100% design. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8894871-74c5-4f29-8ecd-ea265e8b7809 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Sep 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | LICHFIELD | | Post town | Walsall | | Postcode | WS14 9PY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Lichfield | | Electoral ward | Whittington & Streethay | | Westminster constituency | Tamworth | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45216121 - Fire station construction work ## Release History - 9 Aug 2024 at 15:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8894871-74c5-4f29-8ecd-ea265e8b7809 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8894871-74c5-4f29-8ecd-ea265e8b7809 9th August 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
