Description
The University of Chester is seeking tenders through the 2 Stage Restricted Tender Procedure under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 for the Provision of Maintenance Services for Fire Alarm Systems and Fire Extinguishers.
The University of Chester needs to ensure it is compliant with legislation and most importantly has assurance on the continual and reliable operation of its equipment, for the protection of its staff, students, tenants and other personnel. The University therefore requires Service Providers to supply the following maintenance services for its Fire Alarm Systems and Fire Extinguishers, in 2 Tender Lots (as detailed below):
• Proactive Planned Maintenance Service Visit services - proactive planned inspection, testing and maintenance (Lot 1 and Lot 2)
• Minor Repair or Replacement - services undertaken at the time of but in addition to the Proactive Planned Maintenance Service Visit services (Lot 1 and Lot 2)
• Emergency Reactive Response - 24/7/365 emergency call outs for fault diagnosis and repair of Fire Alarm Systems (Lot 1 only)
The University is seeking to award contracts for the co-ordination, management, administration and completion of these works for a period of 3 years, with a review after each year and an option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months.
Tenderers should note that not all systems / items of equipment will need a Proactive Planned Maintenance Service Visit immediately at the start of the contract, so it may be some months before works may commence. A schedule of works is set out in the documents:
o Document 2.2 - Pricing Schedule, Asset Register & SOR - LOT 1 - Fire Alarm
o Document 2.3 - Pricing Schedule, Asset Register & SOR - LOT 2 - Fire Extinguishers
The range of fire systems / items of equipment is divided into two lots and tenderers are invited to bid for one or both lots.
The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofchester. Tenders or requests to participate must be submitted electronically via: https: //in-tendhost.co.u k/ universityofchester.
This opportunity has also been published on Find a Tender Service.
This notice has been amended on 15th March 2022 following a request from a tenderer to extend the Selection Stage return date by 24 hours to 10:00 am on 17th March 2022. The FTS notice amendment has been published prior to this amended notice being published.
