Objectives

The primary objective is to execute comprehensive interior renovations on Building No. B0040 for the Department of Defence. The project aims to restore structural integrity, improve aesthetic finishes, and ensure the facility meets operational standards through targeted repair and upgrading works.

Scope of Work

The tender encompasses the following renovation activities:

• Painting of walls
• Replacement of damaged ceiling sections
• Repair or restoration of broken windows
• Removal of existing carpet and installation of new floor tiles
• Varnishing of wooden wall surfaces

Technical Requirements

• CIDB Contractor Grading: Tenderers must hold a minimum Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading of 1GB.
• Mandatory Registration: Contractors must be actively registered on both the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and the CIDB contractor registry.
• Preferential Procurement Compliance: Bidders must declare eligibility for preference points in strict accordance with the specific goals outlined in SBD Form 6.1.
• Submission Protocols: Tenders must follow prescribed methods for sealing, addressing, delivery, and submission. Late tenders will be automatically rejected. All bids must utilise only the official tender documentation issued by the employer.

Skills Requirements

While explicit trade certifications are not itemised in the notice, the mandatory CIDB 1GB grading inherently requires the contractor to demonstrate verified technical competence, qualified artisans, and adequate project management capacity. This includes certified painters, plasterers/ceiling installers, glaziers/window repair specialists, tilers, and wood finishers. The main contractor remains fully responsible for ensuring all subcontracted or direct labour meets industry standards, safety regulations, and quality assurance protocols throughout the project lifecycle.
