Description

Derbyshire County Council invites suitably qualified and accredited Principal Contractors to submit a tender for the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) at Ashbourne Library and Hub.

The appointed Principal Contractor will be responsible for the full delivery of the works, including coordination, installation, commissioning, and handover of the Air Source Heat Pump systems in line with all relevant statutory, technical, and safety requirements. Contractors must be able to demonstrate the necessary competence, experience, and accreditation to act as Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations, ensuring safe management of the site and all associated construction activities.

The works will be delivered within an operational public building, and bidders must therefore provide clear evidence of their ability to plan, manage, and execute projects in live environments with minimal disruption to services.

Further details, including the specification, drawings, and pricing documents, are available within the tender pack. Derbyshire County Council expects all contractors to fully familiarise themselves with the site and project requirements before tendering.
