In plain English

Sir Roger Manwood's School wants a contractor to refurbish and alter an existing building to create a new sixth form centre, with an estimated value of £1,550,000. The work is run in two stages: a priced first-stage tender, then negotiation of a final contract sum based on detailed design information.

What the buyer wants

• A fully priced Contract Sum Analysis (a line-by-line cost breakdown of the works), including a priced preliminaries book (site set-up and general running costs, both fixed and time-related) and overheads and profit • A construction programme showing how the works will be completed, plus a budget cost for the construction works with commentary comparing it to the school's elemental budget figures (budget costs for each major part of the building) • Fees, overheads and profit for the move from Stage 1 to Stage 2, if required. At Stage 2, a single contractor is expected to be invited to negotiate a final price, although the school may approach more than one.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit eligibility criteria, but a £1.55 million project requiring a fully priced cost breakdown, a construction programme and a detailed budget comparison at first stage would likely rule out smaller businesses without in-house estimating capacity.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
