Stratford Waterfront Culture and Education Development — University of the Arts London — Fit-Out Works

It is the intention of the London Legacy Development Corporation (‘LLDC’) as the Contracting Authority to put in place a contract with 1 contractor for the fit-out works for the University of the Arts (UAL) building at the Stratford Waterfront Culture and Education Development at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (‘QEOP’). The works required include (without limitation) the design, supply, construction/installation and handover of the fit-out works, as more particularly described in the procurement documents.

Main site or place of performance: Hackney and Newham.

See II.1.4) above in respect of scope of the Works and please note the following:

1) The form of contract will be the NEC3 (as amended) Option A. The contract should be capable of acceptance without amendment but the 5 shortlisted tenderers will be invited to complete and submit the contract comments schedule prior to submitting their initial tender. This will allow those tenderers to propose amendments without which they would be unwilling to submit an initial tender and/or which would significantly and adversely impact on the tenderer’s pricing proposal. The Contracting Authority will review the completed contract comments schedules in accordance with the process detailed in the draft invitation to tender and may issue an updated version of the contract;

2) Tenderers will be invited to submit an initial tender, and will be able to include proposed scope qualifications if necessary;

3) The Contracting Authority will review any such qualifications received and may decide on the basis of some or all of these to issue revised works information and invite final tenders.

It is our intention to invite the 5 highest scoring applicants who have met the required technical threshold to the ITT stage. In the event of any tied scores within the 5 highest scoring bids then this may mean additional suppliers are invited. For example, five suppliers achieve the same and highest score. They would all be invited to the ITT stage and no further suppliers would be invited.

Alternatively, if three suppliers achieved scores placing them 1st, 2nd and 3rd but four other suppliers all achieve the same score placing them joint 4th then all seven suppliers would be invited to ITT stage. As the 5 highest scoring supplier places have now been filled, no further suppliers would be invited.

The objective criteria for SQ selection will be as detailed in the procurement documents.
