The overall project, which is currently planned to be completed by 2016, will include a number of separate elements, between them covering a wide range of front-of-house and backstage requirements, including the replacement and upgrading of stage sound and lighting, IT facilities, and improvements to building infrastructure and customer facilities. The refurbishment is being part-funded by Arts Council England, which has agreed to contribute to the cost of the project.
The Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (henceforth 'ESPO') is acting on behalf of the Royal Opera House (henceforth ROH) in procuring a contract for the upgrading of the ROH's electrical supply resilience. The contract details are as follows:
It is intended that just a single contract will be awarded, for the provision of the entire requirement. It is recognised that bidders may need to subcontract elements of the requirement, or to work in partnerships with third parties. This will be permitted, but on the basis that the appointed supplier will throughout retain responsibility for the successful delivery of the contract requirements.
The appointed contractor will be required to work in cooperation with the ROH's contracted facilities management company, Mitie plc. In particular, Mitie will adopt the client role, and be responsible on behalf of ROH for the management of the project.
The contract will comprise the following components:
— Carrying out a survey of the electrical supply infrastructure and devising a project plan to implement upgrade to meet the ROH's future requirements,
— Installation of emergency generator incoming terminals 3200A to include breaker in the loading bay area,
— Installation of busbar trunking from loading bay to each of the 2 main LV switch rooms,
— Installation of new 3200A / 1600A Castell interlocked splitters in each LV switch room, feeding both switchboards within the room independently,
— Providing initial training on the new systems and equipment to ROH and Mitie staff,
— Providing ongoing support, maintenance and warranty of the equipment for an agreed period.
