24 Guildhall Fit Out Works

The Authority is seeking to achieve the selection of a provider to deliver the 24 Guildhall Fit Out works. The site is prominently located within Northampton's Cultural Quarter and the Derngate Conservation Area. We understand that the former County Council office building was originally constructed in c;1935 with an approximate Gross Internal Area of 2100 sqm spread across the 5 existing storeys which includes a basement. The Works are to include but are not limited to: -

• Strip out and replace entire existing heating system service the building, including central plant and associated pipework making good any affected surfaces. • Strip out and remove existing redundant small power/data/trunking/lighting, replace with new. • New floor finishes. • New wall finishes.

The Authority will carry out an initial Selection Questionnaire Stage to shortlist suppliers using the specific criteria and weightings in the Selection Evaluation Matrix set out in our SQ guidance document . Following the SQ evaluation exercise, the shortlisted bidders will take part in Invitation to Tender ("ITT") stage.

The Authority is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this procurement process. All documents and communications issued by the WNC Procurement Team will be sent via web based software provided by In-Tend. Tenders and communications submitted by potential providers via any other means will be rejected, In-Tend is located at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/wnc

We would ask bidders who would like to participate in this tender exercise to register on the WNC In-Tend portal and then directly express an interest and then declare they will be bidding on this project if you feel you can meet the criteria set out in the documents.
