In plain English
Fareham Borough Council wants experienced contractors to refurbish the interior of Fareham Shopping Centre, including malls, circulation areas, communal facilities and entrances. The project is worth £6.5 million and must be done while the shopping centre stays open and trading.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver refurbishment works in an occupied, operational shopping centre without closing it down • Create and manage a phased construction programme that minimises disruption to retailers and customers • Maintain safe public access, emergency routes and servicing throughout construction • Plan works outside trading hours (evenings, nights, weekends) where necessary • Manage construction logistics, deliveries, waste, temporary hoardings and site segregation in a constrained publicly accessible space • Coordinate with shopping centre management, tenants, facilities teams and other stakeholders • Control health and safety, noise, dust, vibration and other impacts in a live environment • Deliver high-quality finishes on time and on budget
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a £6.5 million major refurbishment contract: almost all small building firms and sole traders will be disqualified unless they are part of a larger consortium, because the scale, complexity, insurance requirements, bonding, and track record demanded by a local authority on a live shopping centre project exclude most SMEs bidding alone.
