The contract will include the installation of new Kitchens & Bathrooms and associated works including alterations to services, electrical, plumbing, heating, gas and structural alterations to Council owned properties.

The Council has in place a contract for the supply of materials (kitchen units, sanitary ware and some associated items) to supplement this fit only contract including the option to deliver the materials direct to the tenderers premises. Therefore the tenderers will be required to have suitable local premises to accept and store materials including relevant site security and insurance levels

The contractors will, as part of the refurbishment works supply sundry materials such as lintels, plasterboard, plaster, skirting, architrave, ply, electrical & plumbing items, paint etc (this is not an exhaustive list).

The refurbishment works will involve electrical alteration. ALL Electrical works must be carried out by a member of a "Competent Body" as defined in Part ‘P’ of the United Kingdom Building Regulations, e.g. National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC), or Electrical Contractors Association, (ECA), or their equivalents. The installation works shall be fully compliant with the requirements of British Standard 7671 and all current amendments thereto.

The refurbishment works will involve working on domestic gas installations, central heating systems and gas appliances. It is a requirement of the United Kingdoms Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (1998) for individuals to be competent in areas of gas work they carry out and that they are registered with a body that is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). ALL works on Gas must therefore be carried out by Gas Safe Registered Engineer/s who holds a valid Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS).
