Lot details

Lot 1

The Causewayside building is owned by the Library. it is predominantly used for environmentally controlled collection storage; however, it also accommodates approx. 80 staff and a public reading room. The Causewayside building is the largest property within the National Library of Scotland (NLS) Estate, comprising 19,168m2 over 7 levels, two of which are below ground. The building represents 51% of NLS’ entire portfolio and it currently provides 54% of the estate’s environmentally controlled collection storage space. The property was built in two phases, the first by Sir Basil Spence, Glover & Ferguson (1989) and the second by Andrew Merrylees, Grierson & Robertson (1995). Smoke extract and fire damper systems were installed as part of the original build for both phases. Smoke extract system In 2002, qualified consultants were commissioned to to review the smoke extract system within Causewayside. This identified a number of significant issues, with recommended upgrade works. A further review of the smoke control system was carried out in 2015 which concluded that it was inadequate and could lead to difficulties fighting a fire / loss of the collection. A reassessment of the smoke control system was carried out in 2016. This resulted in a smoke extract strategy report with recommendations for major remedial works. Following which design consultants were commissioned to produce a concept design for a replacement smoke management installation. In 2019 an smoke management options report that examined options to provide the property with a functional and effective smoke management system. In 2021 a full design team were appointed to develop the design to RIBA Stage 4 Technical Design. Fire damper system In 2021 a review of the ventilation and fire damper review concluded that the fire dampers were beyond their service life (10 yrs.) and that the maintenance & testing regime was inadequate because many were inaccessible, and they had to be manually tested. It recommended that all were replaced, and the replacement should be of a motorised actuator type. In 2021 a full design team were appointed to develop the design to RIBA Stage 4 Technical Design. The building will be operational during the works and the collections will remain in-situ. As a result, possession will be given to the Contractor floor by floor starting from the roof. The works, including protection and dust monitoring, will be completed, and commissioned before progressing to the next floor, with final commissioning on completion of all floors. The following works will be Contractor Design: The smoke extract installation, Detailed design for opening and upstands, forms roof opening and upstands (inc. all weather proofing), Detailed design for louvres, remove existing cladding panels, installs louvres into the cladding (inc. all weather proofing), The fire damper installation. Additional information: Form of Contract - SBCC single stage traditional contract without quantities but with Contractor Design Portion will be used for the procurement of this contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work for buildings relating to education and research (45214000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 4517,1274 median · 30.2 average (5,652 of 17,127 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,245 of 17,127 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

        "description": "The Causewayside building is owned by the Library. it is predominantly used for environmentally controlled collection storage; however, it also accommodates approx. 80 staff and a public reading room.\nThe Causewayside building is the largest property within the National Library of Scotland (NLS) Estate, comprising 19,168m2 over 7 levels, two of which are below ground. The building represents 51% of NLS’ entire portfolio and it currently provides 54% of the estate’s environmentally controlled collection storage space.\nThe property was built in two phases, the first by Sir Basil Spence, Glover & Ferguson (1989) and the second by Andrew Merrylees, Grierson & Robertson (1995).\nSmoke extract and fire damper systems were installed as part of the original build for both phases.\nSmoke extract system\nIn 2002, qualified consultants were commissioned to to review the smoke extract system within Causewayside. This identified a number of significant issues, with recommended upgrade works.\nA further review of the smoke control system was carried out in 2015 which concluded that it was inadequate and could lead to difficulties fighting a fire / loss of the collection.\nA reassessment of the smoke control system was carried out in 2016. This resulted in a smoke extract strategy report with recommendations for major remedial works. Following which design consultants were commissioned to produce a concept design for a replacement smoke management installation.\nIn 2019 an smoke management options report that examined options to provide the property with a functional and effective smoke management system.\nIn 2021 a full design team were appointed to develop the design to RIBA Stage 4 Technical Design.\nFire damper system\nIn 2021 a review of the ventilation and fire damper review concluded that the fire dampers were beyond their service life (10 yrs.) and that the maintenance & testing regime was inadequate because many were inaccessible, and they had to be manually tested. It recommended that all were replaced, and the replacement should be of a motorised actuator type.\nIn 2021 a full design team were appointed to develop the design to RIBA Stage 4 Technical Design.\nThe building will be operational during the works and the collections will remain in-situ. As a result, possession will be given to the Contractor floor by floor starting from the roof. The works, including protection and dust monitoring, will be completed, and commissioned before progressing to the next floor, with final commissioning on completion of all floors.\nThe following works will be Contractor Design:\nThe smoke extract installation,\nDetailed design for opening and upstands, forms roof opening and upstands (inc. all weather proofing),\nDetailed design for louvres, remove existing cladding panels, installs louvres into the cladding (inc. all weather proofing),\nThe fire damper installation. Additional information: Form of Contract - SBCC single stage traditional contract without quantities but with Contractor Design Portion will be used for the procurement of this contract. (SBC/XQ/SCOT) with Schedule of Amendments and ITT Legal Appendix as set out in the Invitation to Tender. ITT Legal Appendix guidance -Tenderers may propose changes to the draft legal documents, which may be considered by the Library.",
