Romney Lock House - Internal Wall Insulation PIR

The Environment Agency is soliciting bids for the installation of Pavadry Wood fibre internal wall insulation at Romney Lock House in Windsor, Berkshire. The project involves applying insulation to solid concrete block external walls and specific pitched ceiling areas, with all thermal upgrades requiring Building Regulations Approval and a final certification certificate provided by the contractor. The contract is governed by the JCT Minor Works Agreement and will be awarded based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender, balancing quality and price. The estimated period of performance is from January 18, 2027, to March 31, 2027, with a total contract value estimated between 10,000 and 50,000 GBP. The project site presents significant logistical challenges, as it is located on an island accessible only on foot via a pedestrian bridge and lock gates. Contractors must negotiate parking and access through the adjacent Tom Jones Boat Yard. Strict health, safety, and environmental standards are required, including adherence to the SHEW Code of Practice, the reduction of single-use plastics and packaging waste, and compliance with asbestos management guidelines. Required insurances include 5,000,000 GBP for Employers and Public Liability, as well as Professional Indemnity and works insurance. Tenders must be submitted via email by November 16, 2026, and include a priced return based on RICS New Rules of Measurement volume 2.
