This procurement process, situated in the UK's South East (region UKJ41), has reached the award stage. Phase 2 commenced following the engagement of RAAC Consulting Solutions (RCS) in April 2024 for survey work. Key dates include the contract signing on 5th August 2024. The procurement method utilised was limited and executed through a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice to protect RCS's intellectual property rights. This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in architectural and construction services that can offer innovative inspection and remediation solutions. Firms that possess expertise in handling Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and can deploy proprietary methods for inspection and mitigation would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Although RCS was engaged for this phase due to their unique capabilities, staying informed about ongoing public procurement projects within such niche industry sectors could open doors for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to expand their operational footprint. ## Notice Medway Council's head office has been partially closed since October 2023 whilst internal investigations are underway to support a full options appraisal of the RAAC situation. RAAC Consulting Solutions (RCS) was engaged in April 2024 to perform some survey work. As a result of those surveys, the wider remediation may not be as substantial as previously envisaged. To support this consideration and the final options appraisal, further off-site inspections need to be undertaken on samples of the RAAC. The further inspection, inclusive of the temporary remediation whilst those materials are taken offsite, are protected by RCS's IP. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Medway Council's head office has been partially closed since October 2023 whilst internal investigations are underway to support a full options appraisal of the RAAC situation.

In early 2024 RAAC Consulting Specialists (RCS) was engaged to conduct some intrusive survey work pertaining to the extent of the RAAC, to consider remedial action, and perform some repair work where necessary; this was Phase 1 of the project that has since been completed. The project has now progressed to Phase 2, which includes further inspection and testing via the removal and testing of RAAC panels, replacement of the RAAC panels removed, the final options appraisal for the remainder of the building, and determination of the wider remediation scheme. All of these elements are interdependent and RCS will be deploying their own proprietary methods to inspect and propose mitigation solutions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025111-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Aug 2024 | | 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 | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MEDWAY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHATHAM | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME4 4TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ41 Medway | | Local authority | Medway | | Electoral ward | Chatham Central & Brompton | | Westminster constituency | Rochester and Strood | | Delivery location | TLJ41 Medway | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RAAC CONSULTING & SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 8 Aug 2024 at 16:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025111-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.medway.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
