In plain English
The Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations of East Anglia want a contractor to knock down four existing timber cadet buildings in Welwyn Garden City and put up a new single storey joint cadet centre with a drill hall, classrooms, offices, stores and washroom facilities, plus outbuildings and landscaping. The estimated value is £1.2 million.
What the buyer wants
• Demolish the four existing timber structures and build a new single storey timber framed masonry cadet centre with drill hall, classrooms, offices, stores, servery, ablution facilities and outbuildings • Complete hard and soft landscaping around the new building and external store • Deliver the sustainability features described, including zoned efficient lighting with PIR sensors, sub metering, a building management system, photovoltaic (solar) panels, EV chargers and high thermal performance fabric, with the project aiming for a DREAM 'excellent' rating
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: At £1.2 million, combining demolition with a full new building and a target DREAM 'excellent' sustainability rating (a Ministry of Defence accreditation) would most likely rule out smaller firms without recent experience of building to that standard, although the notice does not list formal qualification criteria.
