The project involves the assembly and fitting out of Modular Secure Facilities (MSFs) for weapons and ammunition storage. The strategic objective is to complete the installation of around 274 MSFs by 2024. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase with a future notice date of April 4, 2024. Interested parties are required to register on the Delta e-Tendering Portal. The CRFCA aims to competitively tender the provision after approvals and assurance activities. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with experience as Principal Contractors/Principal Designers, especially those with military environment expertise. Businesses in the consultative engineering and construction services industry, familiar with CDM 2015 Regulations, are well-suited to compete. The tender has a value of £3,000,000 GBP with a contract period of 1080 days. Interested organisations should register their interest by March 20, 2024, via co-commercialteam@rfca.mod.uk. The supplier selection criteria include previous experience with CDM 2015 Regulations. Successful tenderers must hold Construction Line Gold and SSIP accreditation and 'Security Check' level of security clearance. ## Notice To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/J5548D3Q4D The Council of Reserve Forces' & Cadets' Associations (CRFCA) requires a single contractor to undertake the role of Principal Contractor for Project Aintree Phase 3, which involves the on-site assembly and fitting out of off-site manufactured compliant Modular Secure Facilities (MSF) where weapons and ammunition can be stored. The successful tenderer will be required to perform the duties of Principal Contractor and Principal Designer ensuring the project is managed and compliant with Regulation 13 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'), managing all subcontracting relationships (e.g., MSF provider, electrics installer, alarm installer). The strategic objective is to safely complete the installation, commissioning and handover of approximately 274 no. individual Modular Secure Facilities (MSFs) that form part of the UK's Volunteer Estate and are under the infrastructure management responsibility of the 13 independent Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations (RFCA). The RFCAs receive their infrastructure funding, direction and guidance from the Ministry of Defence, via the Council of Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations (CRFCA). To note the number of facilities is approximate as the viability of installing MSFs in some locations is still under review and after site survey may be deemed inappropriate for install. Phase 2 is currently being delivered and it is anticipated that the contract will either overlap the end of the Phase 2 works or start near the end date. This PIN is being published to generate interest from those that have performed the duties of a Principal Contractor/Principal Designer. Ideally, we are interested in those parties that may have experience within a military environment. Our intent is to hold a virtual supplier session as a means of market engagement whilst our business case is making its way through the approvals process. Once approval is achieved, and the Cabinet Office have undertaken their assurance activity, we will be in a position in 2024 to competitively tender the provision. I f this sounds like something your organisation would be interested in, please do register your interest by Wednesday, 20 March 2024 via email containing company name and address and key contact details to co-commercialteam@rfca.mod.uk. In due course, we will advise the details of the virtual sessions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council of Reserve Forces' & Cadets' Associations (CRFCA) requires a single contractor to undertake the role of Principal Contractor for Project Aintree Phase 3, which involves the on-site assembly and fitting out of off-site manufactured compliant Modular Secure Facilities (MSF) where weapons and ammunition can be stored.
