Description

The CoLC, in collaboration with CoLC of London Police (CoLP) are undertaking a project to build a Tactical Firearm Training Facility (TFTF). A suitable site owned by CoLC at Dagenham Dock has been identified. A feasibility study was undertaken to determine the viability of the site, to evaluate cost and programme differences as well as assessing the pros and cons of either a traditional build approach or modular scheme to provide the new TFTF. In conclusion, it was determined that a traditional design and/or a combination of both traditional and modular design solutions is to be considered as the favoured approach to provide the most efficient and operationally effective solution.  The design scheme produced during the feasibility study is to progress from RIBA stages 1 to 3, however elements of this design are incomplete and there is a requirement for the appointed design team to review the existing information/design and provide appropriate advice/expertise as to what extent the current packages are progressed further to provide a complete RIBA stage 1 and review then progress RIBA stage 2 and 3 design before commencing the RIBA stage 4.  This appointment is for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Heating Engineer services. Please refer to the 'Scope of Services' within the tender documents for full details.

Given the urgency and resource considerations involved, it was deemed proportionate and efficient to proceed directly to tender."
