In plain English

West Berkshire Council is refurbishing an old, empty care home into emergency housing for homeless people. The work includes removing gas/oil heating systems, installing air source heat pumps and solar panels, replacing water and electricity connections, and all external repairs.

What the buyer wants

• Complete structural refurbishment of a derelict residential building to modern standards • Remove all carbon-based heating systems and install air source heat pumps plus photovoltaic solar arrays • Renew all mains water, electricity and drainage connections to the building • Complete all external works including roof, walls, windows and landscaping

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract is almost certainly reserved for large construction firms: the 1.5 million pound value, complexity of heating system replacement, solar installation, structural refurbishment of a derelict building, and multi-disciplinary coordination required will exclude almost all sole traders and micro-businesses without substantial turnover history, qualified staff, and extensive project experience.
