This package of works comprises of the demolition of existing buildings, provision of upgraded internal access roads and below ground infrastructure works including (but not limited to) new and relocated communications and electricity cabling, upgraded mains water infrastructure, new surface water drainage and new district heating pipework to enable site wide development proposals at John Innes Centre and NGI (the Works).
The Works will be carried out on a live scientific research site and in close proximity to ongoing operations and adjacent healthcare facilities. The Works have been designed by the NGI client-side design team who were procured through a competitive tender process in 2018/2019.
The intention is for the Works to be governed by the JCT Standard Building Contract Without Quantities 2016 with JIC amendments.
