This is not a new Opportunity.

The procurement process will be a flexible competitive procedure process via etenderWales.

Further details of the tender process are provided. Bidder’s responses to the 1st stage tender will be evaluated against the criteria set out in this documentation. Bidders must respond to all questions in the questionnaire and must provide all the supporting information.Bidders must ensure that their response to each question is relevant and focused on addressing the question asked. Each question will be evaluated only on the information provided in the response text box provided for the particular question and any specifically requested appendices. No marks will be awarded for a particular question in respect of information given elsewhere within the response.Over cladding opportunity for 2 no. buildings on the Swansea University Singleton Campus. Proposed scheme is to include the retrofit façade upgrades to two existing buildings. Façade upgrade will include over cladding the existing buildings (namely, Margam Building and Union House Building) with an improvement in the level of insulation on the external walls, and replacement of the glazing and doors where applicable. This project is a retrofit intervention associated with a wider decarbonisation scheme for the University, the buildings comprise of one 3 storey academic building (of mixed uses) and one 4 storey academic/student activity building, and the Works will take place in a live environment. Initially, tenderer’s will be appointed on a two-stage basis with an evaluation of preliminaries, design fees and fee percentage against the available design for the Margam building which is at a more advanced stage due to external funding streams. During the coming months, the design for Union House building shall be progressed by the client to the point of a completed coordinated RIBA Stage 3 design, where it can be priced for further tender submission. Market rates and conditions utilised for the initial stages of tender shall form the benchmark for consideration of the Union House tender prices. It remains at the Employer’s discretion to utilise this mechanism of procurement or commence an entirely new process.
