Objectives

The primary objective is to refurbish and renovate the existing kitchen and tearoom facilities within the Transit Building (B052) at Air Force Base Ysterplaat. The project aims to modernise and restore these functional spaces to meet current operational, hygiene, and safety standards for military personnel.

Scope

The scope encompasses all works necessary for the complete renovation of the designated kitchen and tearoom areas. This includes site preparation, demolition of outdated fixtures, structural adjustments, installation of new finishes, plumbing and electrical upgrades, ventilation improvements, and final commissioning. Detailed drawings, specifications, and pricing schedules are provided in the official tender documentation.

Technical Requirements

• Contractors must hold a minimum Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading of 1GB.
• Mandatory registration and active compliance with the Central Supplier Database (CSD) are required.
• All tenders must be submitted using the official documentation format, with strict adherence to prescribed sealing, addressing, and physical delivery procedures.
• Attendance at a compulsory on-site clarification meeting is required prior to the submission deadline.
• Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Skills Requirements

The tender notice does not list specific skill requirements; however, the 1GB CIDB grading threshold inherently demands a workforce with proven capability in institutional building refurbishments. Contractors must demonstrate access to qualified project managers, licensed artisans (plumbing, electrical, tiling, carpentry, painting), occupational health and safety coordinators, and site supervisors experienced in executing interior renovations within secure or operational environments.
