Details

Procurement of a Principal Contractor for the Construction of Thameside Academy Alternative Provision Base. The works comprise two elements: the construction of a new single-storey extension of approximately 33m² to provide a secure entrance foyer, office, accessible WC, meeting room and circulation space; and the internal remodelling of approximately 140m² of existing accommodation to create secure and resilient specialist teaching, break-out and dining spaces. Associated works include the enclosure of the internal courtyard (high-level windows, anti-climb rollers and a new safety surface), site clearance including the removal of one tree, an extended tarmac footpath giving level access to the new entrance, kerb alterations with a dropped kerb and tactile paving, reinstatement and re-marking of part of the car park including an accessible bay, new soft landscaping, bollard lighting, a new rainwater downpipe connection and alterations to below-ground drainage. The existing kitchen is retained and, other than the replacement of its door, is excluded from the works.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
