Description

As part of a programme of fire safety remediate works, Swindon Borough Council intends to replace the doors to 246 Council owned residential flats located in six high-risk blocks which are 10 storeys high.

The Council intends to appoint a single Contractor to deliver these remediation works. The successful supplier will be required to supply AND install the doors (plus supply 24 spare doors) and dispose of existing materials, AND carry out associated fire compartmentation works to the rising mains to each flat.

Estimate contract value up to £890,626.

100% Timber doors (60 minute fire doors) are required, with 54mm certified core to BS 476 Pt22:1987 or BS EN 1634-1:2014, 1000mm frame width with intumescent strips, and 6 panel lock door panel. Supply will also include locking mechanisms, door hinges, viewers, letter plates, security chain, door closer, drop seal, numbering, glazing, threshold, fanlight (where fitted), side panel (where fitted).

The appointed supplier will be required to provide the Council with full Primary Test Evidence (PTE) from a UK registered testing facility that is 3rd party accredited. The PTE must itemise all the hardware used in the doorset submitted for burns testing, and must be supplied in digital format.

The contract term is 4 years in total with approximately 6 months, potentially up to 9 months, from award, through mobilisation, to complete the supply and installation of the 246 doors and handover period. The balance of the remaining 4 years is for the ad-hoc supply of fire doors and door set hardware to replace any damaged for the original 246.

Full details relating to the Goods and Services required are provided in the tender documents.

Tender clarifications to be submitted in writing via Messaging in ProContract tender portal by 7th December 2023, 1200 hrs UK Local time. The Council's responses to these clarification questions will be issued periodically on the ProContract tender portal.
