We’re inviting contractors to submit baseline tenders for our planned works at Castle Meadow
Contractors are expected to attend a mandatory site visit, during which the site context and the more detailed baseline scope of works will be explained.
The site visit will provide tenderers with the opportunity to inspect existing conditions, constraints and interfaces, and to raise clarification questions prior to final submission.
This is a baseline tender intended to enable the Council to appoint a contractor based on a balanced assessment of company credentials, relevant experience, quality and cost, with the objective of achieving best value for money rather than simply the lowest price.
It is anticipated that the Council will work collaboratively with the selected contractor to develop the detailed design, with all design decisions, scope refinements and cost implications subject to formal Council approval.
The tendered prices therefore provide a robust baseline for appointment, with detailed design development undertaken post award in a controlled and transparent manner.
This document sets out the mandatory pricing structure to be used by all tenderers. Prices must be exclusive of VAT and entered against each section to enable a like-for-like comparison on all submissions.
