Replacement Lighting - The Gryphon School, Sherborne

Tender description

Immediately prior to gaining Academy status, the school sought to take advantage of a Local Authority led energy efficiency initiative. This initiative entailed fitting energy-saving adaptors to over 900 of the 1,856 existing lighting units. These adaptors are now over heating resulting in significant risks and concerns regarding fire safety as a result of electrical malfunction. Part 1 of the tender specification outlines the requirement to replace a total of 887 converted light fittings (which currently represent a fire hazard, an electrical safety hazard, and a safeguarding issue) with the installation, and make good, of new energy efficient LED lighting. Part 2 of the tender specification outlines the requirement to replace a total of 63 defective emergency light fittings with the installation, and make good, of new energy efficient LED lighting. Contractors are invited to tender for each part independently of the other. Works associated with Part 2 of the specification will only be undertaken if the value of the tender submissions falls within the budget for this project. Keywords: electrical installation
