Question 1:

Are you considering the commission as one which encompasses the three elements of the series or is it possible to express an interest in the Sunday night programme only?

Answer 1:

It is S4C's intention to offer one contract as a commission to provide the three series - therefore, it is not possible to express an interest in one element only.

Question 2:

Is it possible to receive a copy of any legal advice S4C has received in order to help us reach a decision on whether TUPE is relevant?

Answer 2:

S4C's legal advice and discussions are confidential, like many other companies and organisations, therefore we are not in a situation to share this information. Any company applying should seek its own advice in order to ensure the advice is suitable to its own particular circumstances.

Phase 3 - S4C Technical Block modification Works

S4C is the public service broadcaster providing Welsh language programmes in Wales and across the UK. Programmes are broadcast from our headquarters at Llanishen in Cardiff.

We are planning some modifications to our technical block at Llanishen. Phases 1 and 2 are complete and we now wish to invite tenders for Phase 3, which comprises parallel implementation of building alterations and mechanical and electrical upgrades. Building work includes interior elements (walls, floors and ceilings) and the mechanical and electrical work includes modifications to existing systems, new cooling and lighting installations.

Separate tenders will be invited for each type of work. Tenderers may bid for one or both contracts.

The value of the building work is estimated to be about £120k with HVAC and electrical works accounting for about £180k.

Companies who wish to tender must complete a pre-qualification questionnaire for one or both contracts by 5pm on 15th October 2010. Submission instructions and details of the evaluation methodology are provided in the questionnaire. Any requests for additional information or guidance must be submitted by 5pm on 11th October 2010.

Short listed applicants will be issued with an invitation to tender. We anticipate inviting about 5 companies to bid for each contract. The contract(s) will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender, judged in relation to the criteria set out in the invitation to tender documents.

Question

We do not have accreditation to ISO9000 or equivalent. We do have accreditations with:

  • CHAS
  • SAFECONTRACTOR
  • CONSTRUCTIOLINE
Can you confirm if this is acceptable or not? i.e. would we be rejected?

Answer

You will not be rejected for not having ISO 9000 accreditation. The reference to this accreditation in the PQQ shall be deemed to be desirable but not mandatory. A quality management system which provides a suitable means of ensuring consistent and satisfactory quality of service will be acceptable. Please describe your system in reasonable detail, limited to no more than one side of A4.
