In plain English

Barnet Council wants a contractor to refit the back-of-house storage area at Hendon Library, where the School Libraries and Resources Service keeps and dispatches its crates and boxes of teaching materials. The main job is replacing the old, mismatched shelving with a layout that fits the room, lets in more light and frees up the shared office for staff use.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and install new storage shelving and fittings for the School Libraries and Resources Service area at the back of Hendon Library • Reconfigure the layout of the shared space so it works for the lending service, library staff and archives, including freeing up the office • Carry out the work around live operations in an occupied building, with staff and deliveries continuing during the refit

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses would be held back by the need for proven experience of installing archive and library storage in an occupied public building, along with the insurance and health and safety evidence a council expects for work of this size.
