Construction Management, Detailed Design, Supply, Installation and Commissioning for the Installation of Air Source Heat Pumps and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Cells and all other associated works at Didcot Wave Leisure Centre and Park Sports Centre in South Oxfordshire

Tender description

The works associated with the decarbonisation projects at Didcot Wave Leisure Centre and Park Sports Centre include the removal of existing boiler plant assets and replacement with ASHPs and the addition of Solar PV, low flow temperature distribution systems, heat emitter upgrades and other associated works. The tender for Design & Build contractor/s will be under a two-stage procurement process - initially with PCSA award only - to develop the Brief provided for both properties to RIBA Stage 4 and to provide tender costs with Value Engineering, if needed, to achieve the budget and to allow early vested purchase of equipment to maintain the programme and the grant spend requirements. There will be some fabric works to the roof and cavity wall insulation measures at Park Sports Centre, designed by others, that will need to be completed under the PCSA once the location of ASHPs has been finalised. There will be some external works at Didcot Wave associated with the assessment of space utilisation for ASHP housing. The total project value for these works i.e., combined value for both properties, has been estimated at circa £2,300,000 (including OHP and prelims & contractor design fees).
