In plain English

Derry City and Strabane District Council wants to appoint an independent specialist to review, challenge and advise on the swimming pool plant (aquatic systems) at two developments. The work runs from planning through to construction, handover and the defects period, with an estimated value of £36,000.

What the buyer wants

• Independent technical review, challenge and advice on the pool systems at every stage, from planning, design and procurement through construction, commissioning, handover, post-occupancy and the defects liability period, for both developments. • Assurance that the systems are safe, compliant, practical to operate and maintain, energy efficient, operationally resilient, compatible with Passivhaus objectives and good value over their whole life, including lifecycle costs and asset replacement planning. • Acting solely for the Council and staying independent of the design team, contractors, specialist suppliers and manufacturers. Submissions must be made through eTendersNI only.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires the consultant to stay independent of the design team, contractors, suppliers and manufacturers on both projects, so any firm already working on these schemes would be ruled out, and the role calls for specialist pool plant and whole life value expertise that a small generalist firm may not have, although the notice does not state specific qualifications, turnover or experience thresholds.

Always check the tender documents.
