Description of the contract
S4C is the only Welsh language television channel and one of the UK's five public service television broadcasters. It is an independent broadcasting authority established under the Broadcasting Act 1981, and regulated by the Communications Act 2003 and the Broadcasting Act 1990.
S4C currently has one office in Cardiff and one office in Caernarfon. The Cardiff office has been the broadcaster’s headquarters since 1991. S4C is embarking on a change programme involving the relocation of its office headquarters to Carmarthen. This will require the moving of furniture, equipment and other items for circa 55 members of staff from Cardiff to its new headquarters in Carmarthen.
S4C will also be co-locating a cohort of its staff with the BBC after the completion of the Central Square project in Cardiff. For the avoidance of doubt, the co-location project does not form part of this tender process, neither does the Caernarfon office.
For further information about S4C, please refer to the Annual Report 2016/17, available on S4C’s website (s4c.cymru).
S4C is seeking through this tender process to appoint a company to organise and implement an office move project ensuring the least possible impact on S4C’s business continuity.
S4C’s current headquarters is located at: Parc Ty Glas, Llanishen, Cardiff, CF14 5DU. S4C’s new headquarters will be located at: Yr Egin, Carmarthen, SA31.
The office move project is expected to start in early June and to continue for a period of 5 months.
Further information about the contract and S4C’s requirements is set out in the Invitation to Tender document.
