Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
Banff and Buchan College intends to redevelop its main campus building to improve the circulation spaces and self-directed learning spaces. The capital cost of the project is likely to be between 18 000 000 GBP and 19 000 000 GBP.
The College is looking to appoint a building contractor for the project. The project will be completed on a phased basis as the campus will remain operational throughout the construction period. Banff and Buchan College may therefore decide to award the contract on a phase by phase basis.
The procurement route will follow a single stage design and build format: a key point however is that the design will be substantially complete prior to the tender issue.
Banff and Buchan College require the current Design Team (architectural, Civil and Structural Engineers, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers, BREAAM Consultants and Fire Engineer) to be novated.
Temporary accommodation for College use will have been provided for prior to the appointment of the building contractor.
