Description

The University of Bristol requires a Supplier to provide mechanical locks, keys and associated ironmongery supplies and installations on an on-demand/ad hoc basis, as and when required. Additionally and if required, the Supplier shall provide the above as part of a lock sets and keys replacement programme for Capital Projects.

The scope of requirements consists of these elements:
- Supply only or
- Supply & fit and commission door (e.g. a fire door pre-prepared for locks) or
- Prepare door, supply & fit and commission door

The Supplier will be required to remain up to date with relevant standards and new products coming onto the market and ensure that this is communicated to the University as and when it becomes available. For security reasons, the Supplier will not be permitted to subcontract any part of the Services, therefore the Supplier shall be required to provide all elements in-house, for the full duration of the Contract. The University has a preferred lockset: the Mul-T-Lock Interactive+. Therefore tenderers will need to meet selection criteria that include the requirement to be an Assa Abloy Mul-T lock registered/accredited supplier and installer.

Full details are in the tender documents at the tendering portal.

Interested parties must register their interest on the University's online tender portal https://tenders.bris.ac.uk where you can access, download, review and submit tender documents by the deadline specified in this notice. If you are not already registered on the site, please ensure you complete the registration process. All queries about registration and accessing the advertised opportunity must be directed to the portal provider - Jaggaer.

The University shall have no liability for any costs, expenses, fees or charges (including third party charges) by those expressing interest in and/or pre-qualifying for and/or tendering for this opportunity. No contract (whether implied or otherwise) shall exist between any bidder and the University until such time as a contract is awarded to a successful bidder. The University reserves the right to make any changes to the procurement as it may require at any time with no liability on its part (including to change, suspend, stop or terminate the process and not award a contract and/or to reject any or all bids at any time).

The estimated value is for 36 months + the 24 months extension period.

Contract Starting date is estimated.
