SU152(25) LED Lighting Project – Phase 3 - Contract Notice

Swansea University is looking to appoint a suitably qualified electrical contractor to deliver the replacement of existing lighting and emergency lighting for LED’s together with amended controls systems and associated builders work in connection.

The project scope covers 5 buildings – Bay Campus Library, Bay Campus School of Management, Sketty Lane Sports Centre, Singleton Campus Faraday Tower and Singleton Campus Wallace Building. The works will be undertaken within occupied buildings and a health and safety compliant phased decanting strategy will need to be agreed with the client team prior to the works commencing. The University will confirm if the refurbishment will be undertaken concurrently or consecutively across the various buildings post contract award. For the basis of this tender please assume that the buildings will be completed consecutively within each site (i.e. Singleton), but can be undertaken concurrently at the different sites.
