Tender: Overcladding and Façade Retrofit for Margam and Union House Buildings – Swansea University

About

Swansea University is seeking a supplier for overcladding and façade retrofit works on the Margam and Union House buildings at its Singleton Campus. The project covers retrofit façade upgrades to two existing buildings, including improved external wall insulation and replacement of glazing and doors where applicable, as part of a wider university decarbonisation programme; the buildings comprise one 3‑storey academic building and one 4‑storey academic/student activity building and the works will take place in a live environment. The procurement is a flexible competitive procedure via etenderWales with an initial stage to shortlist bidders; bidders must complete the questionnaire and supply requested supporting information, and initial tenderers will be appointed on a two‑stage basis with evaluation of preliminaries, design fees and fee percentage against the available design for the Margam building (which is at a more advanced stage due to external funding). The Union House design will be progressed to a coordinated RIBA Stage 3 for later pricing, with market rates and conditions from the initial stages forming the benchmark for those prices, and the employer may choose to continue this procurement route or start a new process.
