Geography Building - Universal Access, Fire Protection and Compliance Upgrade
Geography Building - Universal Access, Fire Protection and Compliance Upgrade

Closing 6 July 2026 12:00

The specifications outlines the scope, objectives, and requirements for the proposed alterations to the Geography Building, located on the Hatfield campus. Historically, the facility has served as a core academic building for the Department of Geography, supporting teaching, research, and administrative functions. Over time, increased occupancy, evolving academic needs, and updated regulatory requirements have highlighted the necessity for both functional upgrades and statutory compliance improvements. The project was initiated following a comprehensive audit of the building’s accessibility, fire safety, and user facilities. The assessment identified several areas requiring urgent attention, including the absence of vertical access for mobility-impaired users, insufficient fire escape provisions, and a lack of universally accessible amenities across all levels. These shortcomings limit the building’s ability to serve a diverse and growing academic community effectively.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
