Maintain proactive stakeholder communication, setting expectations for temporary closures, noise periods, and operational impacts.
Establish procurement and tender strategy tailored to a phased roofing package, ensuring contractors can accommodate staged working.
Prepare and issue a comprehensive roof-only tender pack, including drawings, sequencing requirements, specifications, prelims, contract conditions, and pricing documents.
Manage tender clarifications and ensure compliant, competitive bids that reflect the phased approach and operational constraints.
Phase 2
