    "description": "INTRODUCTION\nRushmoor Borough Council (\u0027the council\u0027) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers  for the remediation of the ground within the boundary of the former Farnborough Leisure Centre (FLC).  This follows the demolition of the 2 main leisure centre buildings in 2022.  Remediation to the ground is now required to prepare the site for redevelopment.\nOUTLINE SCOPE\nThe demolition works are anticipated to include: \n\u2022\tBreak out remaining deep foundations\n\u2022\tRemove remaining pile foundations to a depth of 5m\n\u2022\tRemove asbestos contaminated ground and AIB/asbestos cement debris\n\u2022\tBreak out concrete slab to remove asbestos contaminated slab and ground below\n\u2022\tCertify clearance of each area on completion.\nFORM OF CONTRACT\nThe council will let the contract using the  JCT Minor Works Building Contract 2024 Edition in accordance with the Articles, Recitals, Particulars, etc. set out within the Preliminaries \u0026 General Conditions document accessible via the council\u0027s e-sender system ProContract. \nKEY DATES \u0026 ESTIMATED VALUE\nThe council is targeting award of contract by 28th July 2025 with works to commence on site from 8th September and to be completed by no later than 5th December. \nThe works value is estimated at approximately between \u00a3350,000 to \u00a3425,000 excluding VAT. The council reserves the right to set aside any tenders received which exceed \u00a3500,000. \nPROCUREMENT PROCESS \u0026 PROGRAMME\nIn respect of application of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 the council considers that the object of the contract is concerned with \u0027works\u0027 and due to the value falling below the current statutory threshold of \u00a35,372,609 (inc. VAT) for works, the procurement is \u0027below threshold\u0027. \nSubsequently, the council\u0027s position is that the procurement process is not classed as a \u0027covered procurement\u0027 and the contract is not classed as a \u0027public contract\u0027 under the Procurement Act 2023.\nAs the contract is classed as a works contract and has an estimated value which exceeds \u00a3213,477 (inc. VAT) the council has included for \u0027conditions of participation\u0027, as permitted under Part 6 of the Procurement Act 2023 which require tenderers to meet defined legal \u0026 financial standing and technical ability requirements pertaining previous experience.\nTo achieve this the council has reviewed and amended the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) developed by the Government Commercial Function for use on below threshold procurement processes.  This amended PSQ - Below Threshold Works document is accessible via the council\u0027s e-sender system ProContract. \nIn order to complete and return the PSQ - Below Threshold Works document, the Council requires interested suppliers to register their details on the Central Digital Platform and upload and/or check that their core Supplier information on the Central Digital Platform  is all up to date and accurate. \nWhilst the procurement is not a \u0027covered procurement\u0027, the council is undertaking the procurement process in general accordance with the \u0027open procedure\u0027, however this does not imply that the council is bound by any legal requirements of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 which only apply to \u0027covered procurements\u0027 and \u0027public contracts\u0027. \nThe procurement timetable is set out below and, while the council does not intend to depart from it, it reserves the right to do so at any time. Any changes to the procurement programme will be communicated via the council\u0027s e-sender system ProContract in the first instance. \n\u2022\tContract notice published on FTS - 4th June 2025\n\u2022\tProcurement documents available on ProContract - 4th June 2025\n\u2022\tCompulsory Site Visit - 17th June 2025 11:00\n\u2022\tDeadline for requests for clarification - 27th June 2025 17:00\n\u2022\tTender return deadline - 7th July 2025 12:00\n\u2022\tIssue Award Decision - 28th July 2025\n\u2022\tContract Execution \u0026 Mobilisation - August 2025\n\u2022\tWorks Commencement (from) - 8th September 2025\n\u2022\tWorks Completion (by) - 5th December 2025\nCOMPULSORY SITE VISIT\nA site visit will be held on Tuesday 17th June 11:00 at which interested suppliers will be taken on guided tour of the site by the council\u0027s Senior Building \u0026 Projects Manager - Graham King. \nAttendance at the site visit is a compulsory requirement of tendering and the council will reserve the right to set aside any tenders received from suppliers who cannot evidence attendance. \nParticipating suppliers should report to the access gates at the site between 10:30 - 10:45 and ask for Graham King. The tour will start promptly at 11:00 and is expected to last for 1 hour. \nThe address for the site is: Westmead, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 7LD. \nSuppliers must confirm full names and positions of attendees via the Council\u0027s e-sender system ProContract using the \u0027Messages \u0026 Clarifications\u0027 function by no later than Monday 16th June 17:00.",
