The procurement falls under the construction works industry category and is currently in the planning stage. The project has an estimated value of £100,000 and is aimed at appointing a main Contractor to deliver the new training tower. The future notice date for this tender is set for 30th October 2023. This tender opportunity from Avon Fire Authority presents a chance for construction companies specialising in works related to fire station construction, emergency services building construction, and engineering works to compete. Businesses with expertise in complete or part construction, civil engineering work, building construction, and construction-related services would be well-suited to participate in this tender. The tender process aims to create a training facility that will enhance the capabilities of Pill Fire Station and provide a valuable opportunity for suppliers, including local SMEs, to contribute their expertise. ## Notice Avon Fire Authority are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced main Contractor to deliver a new training tower at Pill Fire station. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Avon Fire Authority are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced main Contractor to deliver a new training tower at Pill Fire station, Westward Drive, Pill, BS20 OJS. The original tower was demolished in 2020. The structure has been designed as an unclad braced steel frame. Stability has been provided by vertical bracing in each orthogonal direction. The bracing is not full height at every level and is under the balustrade level to maintain access to each level for drills, with the column acting in bending to maintain stability to the end face. Vertical loads will be transferred to the columns via the beams acting in bending and shear with the structure supported at ground level by the existing piled base with new piles to the SWFH roof. The new training tower has been designed to provide a wider range of training possibilities, with an added training benefit of a safe work from height roof. The new tower will have 4 levels to allow ladder drills to be conducted. To the side of the main tower will be a small, pitched roof element to enhance the training options available. Each level will have high level CHS sections to allow for rigging of rope access and safety lines. The ground floor will be fully enclosed to act as a store for the station and to provide a further training space. The site is located to the rear of the existing fire station at Pill. During all phases of the works the station is to remain operational and there can be no storage of materials to the front of the station that would restrict access to the engine house. A construction management plan and programme will need to be submitted for review and acceptance by AFRS prior to commencement of works on site. We would envisage the scheme being run under one single contract (JCT Minor Works) with one main contractor, however we would not object to you approaching sub-contractors directly if required to complete the works outlined. The estimated value is in the region of PS100,000 - PS150,000 Additional information: AF&RS encourages suppliers, including Local SME's with the appropriate capability and capacity to participate in the Tender for these services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019204-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 | 5 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Oct 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | AVON FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS20 8JJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK61 North Somerset | | Local authority | North Somerset | | Electoral ward | Portishead West | | Westminster constituency | North Somerset | | Delivery location | TLK11 Bristol, City of | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45216121 - Fire station construction work - 45216125 - Emergency-services building construction work - 45220000 - Engineering works and construction works - 71500000 - Construction-related services ## Release History - 5 Jul 2023 at 16:54 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019204-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.avonfire.gov.uk - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=70412&B=BLUELIGHT - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/30508 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
