Construction work for buildings relating to law and order or emergency services

Description

The Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire and Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority are looking to appoint a contractor to construct a largely new build Joint headquarters construction project at Sherwood Lodge, Arnold. The contractor will be appointed for RIBA stage 5-7 under traditional procurement basis. The Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner and Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority are working toward a new joint headquarters at Sherwood Lodge in Arnold, set to bring operational efficiencies, interoperability and financial savings to both organisations. The move is part of a drive by emergency service organisations nationally to work more closely together and create efficiencies to put back into frontline response and improving the service to the public. The main element of the project is new build but does include a small element of refurbishment existing buildings. Among the new facilities will be a police control room, a joint multi-agency incident command room, a new training facility relocating the Police training centre, joint office accommodation, shared meeting and conference facilities, welfare resources, a canteen and a gym. The number of additional resources based at Sherwood lodge will require additional car parking and road infrastructure (within the site boundary). Increase in parking provision from around 500 spaces to 940 car parking spaces forms part of the overall site development. The above details are not intended to be an exhaustive list and the Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner and Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority reserve the right to amended the requirements of the tender/contract as required. Current activity includes but not limited to: • completion of the final surveys required across the site; • development of the planning application; • continued stakeholder engagement (internally and externally); • development of business continuity planning; • procurement of contractors supported by EMSCU and Nottinghamshire Fire Procurement; • key enablers (e.g. IS and facilities) planning for a future proof modern environment. The project is on target for completion in the Autumn of 2021. It is the intention for the members of Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioners Office and Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority to create a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). The LLP will own and manage elements of joint estate on behalf of both organisation, including the new joint headquarters at Sherwood Lodge. The LLP comprises of elected members and senior officers of Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service who will form the governance board who will be responsible for the Sherwood Lodge joint headquarters project. The LLP shall be the contracting authority once formed for this joint venture. All buildings and assets shall be jointly owned by the LLP.
