Tender description

It has been identified that the buildings within this site have been constructed previously of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) components and are not structurally safe to remain in use. The Project Design & Delivery Team which also forms part of the Property and Infrastructure, Inclusive Economy Department, has been instructed to review and tender the proposed works to appoint a Main Contractor to carry out construction works to remove the existing roof structure/ coverings and replace these with a new modern roof construction to extend the buildings lifespan, so that it can continue to be used for its current purpose.
