New Student Residences

Requirements

The client requirement was for a masterplan for its future on-site, student residential accommodation, with the project delivering the first phase of 100 rooms, in time for the start of the following academic year.

We Delivered

Tandem took this project from outline brief through to operation. We pulled together the brief for the project, procured the professional team, negotiated the engagement of the contractor through mini-tender using the CWM Framework and managed the detailed design and package procurement in conjunction with the appointed contractor. Once on site, we managed and administered the NEC contract and the subsequent fit out of the spaces ready for occupation.

We Innovated

In order to speed the overall programme and deliver against the University’s aspirations, whilst complying with the Public Procurement Regulations, we championed the use of the Local Authority’s framework and worked with the Local Authority and the University to make use of the framework (the first time it had been used in other public sector organisations).

Stratford upon Avon College

Requirements

The client required the full internal and external refurbishment of these two teaching blocks, to turn tired, outdated and failing buildings, into state of the art teaching facilities to take the College into the next phase of its campus redevelopment.

We Delivered

Tandem managed the entire project from briefing, through engagement of a professional team, design, contractor procurement to construction and occupation. We also managed and administered the construction contract (design and build)

We Innovated

We conducted an early procurement exercise for a cladding contractor who could realise the client and Architect’s aspirations for the rejuvenation of the exterior of the blocks. This allowed the technical solution to be developed in detail and costed before the supplier was novated to the main contractor for overall coordination.
