ORR London Fit Out Project

ORR Background:

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is the independent safety and economic regulator of Britain's railways who now also hold Highways England to account for its day-to-day efficiency and performance, running the strategic road network, and for delivering the five year road investment strategy set by the Department for Transport (DfT). ORR currently employs approximately 300 personnel and operates from 6 locations nationwide. The majority of personnel are located at ORR's headquarters, One Kemble Street, London (OKS).

Further information can be found at ORR@gov.uk .

Project Background:

The ORR launched the London Property Project in 2018 to look at the future location of its headquarters. Following an options analysis and corresponding business case with the Treasury, approval was granted to move the ORR headquarters to a building in Canary Wharf. The project is now following a single stage traditional build method and the ORR has appointed a design team consisting of Knight Frank (Design Team lead, Project Management, Cost Consultant and Contract Administration), Pick Everard (Architect) and SWECO (MEP).

This tender exercise is seeking a Main Contractor to construct the fit out from the existing shell and floor to CAT B.

In order to assess whether potential suppliers have the capability (inc. financial standing and relevant experience) we are conducting a pre-qualification exercise. This consists of a short Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) which is attached within this advert. All potential suppliers who are interested in competing for this requirement are required to complete this PQQ, email a soft copy no larger than 10mb (20pages) to james.artes@knightfrank.com & paul.prior@knightfrank.com and return one hard copy to the following address:

Knight Frank LLP

55. Baker Street W1U 8AN FAO James Artes

Full instructions for the completion of the PQQ including selection criteria and associated weightings are included.

Following completion of the PQQ exercise the ORR is anticipating that it will invite up to 4 companies to tender.
