Construction work

Tender description

Seeking a construction partner for the development of the Egham Gateway One project, which is a mixed-use masterplan located in Egham, Surrey. The site is located at the western end of the high street, and proposed works relate to the construction of a new build mixed-use scheme. Stage 1 — response to 1st stage tender documentation, leading to an appointment for pre-construction services, from 5.9.2019 to 4.5.2020, remunerated on a fee basis. This tender seeks to procure proposals for the following: (a) construction programme; (b) methodology/approach/logistics; (c) fixed price PCSA fee; (d) fixed price main contractor preliminaries; (e) fixed overheads and profit percentage; (f) risk percentage. Stage 2 – the preferred bidder from stage 1, develops the contractor’s proposals and procures the sub-contract packages for the stage 2 works on an ‘open book’ basis through joint tender action with the employer’s team, culminating in agreement of a fixed price. One of the employer’s key objectives is to obtain satisfactory cost and programme security in a timely fashion, in advance of the planned new build start-on-site date of May 2020. An important element of the selection criteria during Stage 1 will be the commitment on the part of the Contractor, to out-turn cost and construction period. Whilst this commitment will not be a contractual one at the time of the stage 1 appointment, it must stand up to scrutiny and be real, demonstrable and deliverable. Following a gateway review meeting upon the conclusion of stage 1, places for people homes reserve the right to not taken the chosen contractor through to stage 2 and instead re-tender stage 2 to the open market.
