Spinnaker Tower - Lift Replacement

Descriptions

Portsmouth City Council is undertaking this call off (aka Further Competition)under Lot 5 of the Fusion21's Lifts Framework (Contract Notice 2024/S 000-006913). Only suppliers appointed to the framework/lot for the South East of England that have expressed an interest in this opportunity have been invited to bid.

Portsmouth City Council are undertaking this tender exercise in order to procure a suitable Lift Consultant to complete a feasibility study on the replacement of the lift at the Spinnaker Tower, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. The purpose of the feasibility study is to review the options available for the replacement of the lift in order to provide resilience in design.

The final feasibility report will enable the Council to make an informed decision upon the strategy to move forwards with the lift replacement design and works.
The Council may wish to work with one consultant team throughout the project, therefore the Council reserve the option to award the subsequent design and management of lift replacement works to the successful consultant depending on budget, project approval and satisfactory delivery/performance, however, consultants should also note that the Council may undertake a further procurement exercise to secure consultants to assist in the subsequent design and delivery of the lift replacement.

Bidders are required to account for Fusion21's Management Fee of 4% of total contract price when bidding for this tender. This will be invoiced by Fusion21 directly to the successful bidder.
