Oxford Spires Academy Roofing Project

Description

The school has reported frequent water leaks in the Reuben Business Centre Building and the Conference Centre. This impacts on the school's safe use of both buildings and they frequently have to respond to water dripping from the ceiling inside both buildings. Following surveys undertaken by an independent professional surveyor, remedial work has been recommended on both roofs. The Trust is looking to resolve this issue on behalf of the school. The Trust has sought advice from specialists and understands that there are a variety of potential solutions, each varying in effectiveness and cost. The Trust is not prescriptive on the methodology on the remediation work and has instead focused on specifying the desired outcomes. It is the responsibility of the bidder to propose the solutions that they believe represent the best value for money to the Trust. The Trust is flexible with when the work can take place. The school is happy to accommodate work during term-time, but this is conditional on all workers assigned to the project holding a valid Enhanced DBS certificate. Any work taking place during term-time should be carried out in a manner that is unlikely to disturb the school's use of its premises. Included in the tender pack are images of the areas to be addressed, as well as the survey information provided by our surveyor; the roof survey is linked to the Reuben Business Centre, but the requirement linked to the Conference Centre was given during a visual condition survey of the whole school site and the requirement set out in the below is the recommendation given during that survey. We expect site visits will be needed to verify the level of work needed on both roofs. The tender pack (available electronically) provides a detailed schedule of the works we would like to be completed. The Trust expects that the total value of the contract is likely to cost between GBP100,000 - GBP150,000, but this is largely dependent on whether a repair or full replacement is being proposed.
