We are looking for a Principal Contractor to deliver the full work package.
It is vital that validations for the lighting upgrades areas are undertaken promptly after contract award due to material lead-times. Delays in this process may impact the project schedules.
The Department has been undertaking a phased upgrade programme for the replacement of obsolete FCU controllers. To date, the programme is approximately 50% complete and all upgrades have been undertaken Knight Controls Limited, who are also the incumbent maintenance contractor.
Tenders from alternative controls specialists will be accepted, however the contractor should provide relevant case studies demonstrating similar projects and experience with Siemens BMS Installations. This will require approval from the Project Manager prior to appointment
