UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Holmes Chapel Parish Council owns the Holmes Chapel Community Centre which is sited at Station Road, Holmes Chapel CW4 8AA. The centre is operated by Everybody Health & Leisure (EH&L), but the Parish Council, as landlord, is responsible for the fabric of the building. One key part of the Community Centre is a fitness studio, which was formally a badminton court, refurbished with an internal ceiling. There is a significant void in the roof between the ceiling of the studio and the metal roof. In times of prolonged poor weather, this roof is now leaking. The Parish Council is seeking quotations for a solution that will fix the existing roof insitu and prevent further ingress of water. The supplier will need to present to the Council the most suitable option for solving the problem and we require a minimum 10 year guarantee. Requirements 1. The supplier should provide options and costings for a suitable solution to prevent further water ingress from the studio roof. 2. The supplier should detail the proposed solution in the response submitted. 3. The supplier will need to provide a method statement and risk assessment prior to any works being carried out. These will be shared with EH&L. 4. The Community Centre facilities are in use every day and the supplier will be expected to work with the EH&L to agree all Health & Safety aspects to allow users to enter the buildings. It is accepted that traffic flows may need to be temporarily altered during the work. 5. The quotations should include an indication of when the work could commence and how long it will take to complete. 6. It is expected that suppliers will visit the site to provide the quotation and satisfy themselves that they have all the information required. Access to the site must be arranged through the Clerk/Deputy Clerk. By arrangement, either the Clerk/Deputy Clerk and a parish councillor will attend to discuss any questions the supplier may have. 7. Due to the height of the building it is anticipated that an aerial drone survey may be required and suppliers should ensure that they carry the necessary licence and permissions for such a survey. 8. In view of the possibility that suppliers may offer differing or alternative solutions then suppliers may be individually called to a meeting to discuss potential solutions. These will be confidential and any information received will not be shared with other bidders. 9. Suppliers must show compliance and demonstrate they hold the relevant competencies for Working at Height Regulations. Applications must be in writing to the Clerk of Holmes Chapel Parish Council by 12pm on Tuesday 2nd July.

Holmes Chapel Parish Council owns the Holmes Chapel Community Centre and its daily operation is managed by Everybody Health & Leisure (EHL). It is the intention of EHL to install solar panels on three of the flat roofs and one pitch roof in the very near future but before doing so, two of the roofs need re-surfacing. The roofs in question are shown in the supporting information provided. Currently, it is planned that the solar panels will be installed starting about 10th May. Therefore quotations are expected to include a timescale that will mean the re-surfacing of the two roofs, can be completed by that date. Quotations should indicate that this can achieved or alternatives suggested. Quotations are therefore sought for providing new high-performance roof coverings to these two roofs. It is expected that an overlay to the existing roof covering will be sufficient and that the work will not need to include any removal of the existing membranes. All responses can be sent by email to flatrooftenders@holmeschapelparishcouncil.gov.uk Any written submission should be sent to "The Clerk, Holmes Chapel Parish Council, 1 Church Walk, Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, CW4 7AZ." If posted, please indicate on the envelope 'Flat Roof Tender'. Deadline is Friday 7th March at 12pm. Site visits are welcomed.
