two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The site was commissioned for its current purpose in 1917 and has been developed piece-meal over its life. Some of the remaining buildings are approaching 60 years’ service. Some 28% (by area) of its buildings are more than 30 years old and nearing the end of their original economic operational lives.
The establishment is split into two parts, one being the main campus with offices, laboratories, high and low containment facilities and support. The second is the collection of fields and low containment animal facilities to the North of the main campus. The estate comprises an overall GIFA of 87,000sqm, including 20,000sqm of specialist research and animal facilities.
Significant investment in new building stock and infrastructure is required over the next ten years to maintain its critical function. The National Science Centre for Animal Health (NSCAH) masterplan development will set the compass for the transformation of the campus into a global exemplar of Animal Health Science diagnostics and research.
The result is an overall area requirement of circa 58,000sqm for the following:
The redevelopment of the site will be undertaken in multiple phases that can be broadly summarised into two main stages as follows:
2 x New Build High Containment Science Laboratories
1 x Refurbishment of an existing Laboratory and Energy Centre
Site Wide
Infrastructure Projects
Enabling Works
Site Rationalization
Technical Assurance Professional Services
Indications of the budget range values for both Designer Services and Construction Services are published in the MOI.
