Technical requirements: It is the intention of the London Legacy Development Corporation ('LLDC') as the Contracting Authority to put in place a contract, with one contractor, for the fit-out works for the Sadler's Wells East and Victoria and Albert Museum buildings at the Stratford Waterfront, Culture and Education Development at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. The works required comprise the Landlord fit-out of the V&A building and the Landlord and Tenant fit-out of the Sadler's Wells building. More details on the scope will be available in the Works Information within the procurement documents. The works are due to start on site June 2020 with completion of the V&A building by April 2021 and the Sadler's Wells building by March 2022.
1) The form of contract will be the NEC3 (as amended) Option A. Tenderers will be invited to complete and submit a 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 all of the completed contract comments schedules in accordance with the process detailed in the draft ITT and may issue an updated version of the contract. Acceptance of the contract terms and conditions at initial tender submission stage will be pass/fail.
2) Tenderers will be invited to submit an initial tender and will be able to include proposed works information adjustments if necessary.
3) The Contracting Authority will review any such adjustments received and may decide on the basis of some or all of these to issue revised works information and invite final tenders.
Following the supplier qualification stage, up to 5 applicants, who have scored the highest and who have met the required SQ technical threshold will receive an invitation to submit an initial tender. The objective criteria for SQ selection will be as detailed in the procurement documents. At initial tender stage, tenderers will be required to achieve a technical score of at least 65 % in order to proceed to the commercial evaluation stage. (Note that the technical threshold will be lowered as described in the procurement documents, to ensure that a minimum of 2 tenderers go through to the commercial evaluation stage). The basis of any contract award will then be lowest price. The Contracting Authority can award a contract at the end of the initial tender stage or at the end of the final tender stage, if revised works information has been issued.
The successful applicant will be required to be aware of and support the LLDC's environmental stability and socio economic policies as detailed in the contract.
The Contracting Authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
Applicants have unrestricted access to the selection questionnaire pack, which includes details of the scope, procurement process (including ITT and Initial and final tender award criteria), works and site information, and draft contract terms.
