This project involves the supply and installation of six to twelve replacement double-glazed structurally bonded units for the Sir Duncan Rice Library façade due to historical breakages. The contract was signed on 3rd December 2021, and the procurement is classified under the education industry category, with the delivery taking place in Aberdeen, UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in glazing, particularly those with expertise in unique design and installation compatible with the existing structures. Companies that focus on bespoke windows and structural glazing solutions, especially those with prior experience working on heritage sites or similar projects, would be well-suited to compete in future procurement exercises within this sector. Given the nature of this contract, businesses that demonstrate technical knowledge and capability in structural glazing are encouraged to engage with the University of Aberdeen's future procurement processes. ## Notice To supply and install six, possibly rising to 12, replacement double glazed structurally bonded units to various areas of the Sir Duncan Rice Library facade to replace historical breakages. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Under Regulation 33 (1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may award a contract without competition based on the following justification: Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists). In this particular case, the requirement is for provision and installation of replacement windows. Compatibility with existing windows, design and installation are essential to maintain existing warranties and to ensure continuity. The windows are of unique design and differing technical characteristics. Therefore, replacements must be provided and installed by trained and approved applicators of the structural glazing facade. Euro Clad Project Services Ltd is the original installer of the glazing and the only supplier with the required knowledge and expertise. ### Procurement Information Under Regulation 33 (1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may award a contract without competition based on the following justification: ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC434715 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Dec 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £235,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB24 3FX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Tillydrone/Seaton/Old Aberdeen | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen North | | Delivery location | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EURO CLAD PROJECT SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products ### Codes - 14820000 - Glass ## Release History - 3 Dec 2021 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC434715 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC434715 Award of contract for specialised glazing installation - To supply and install six, possibly rising to 12, replacement double glazed structurally bonded units to various areas of the Sir Duncan Rice Library facade to replace historical breakages. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.abdn.ac.uk/procurement - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000675891 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
