a. Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Didcot, OX11 0QX
b. STFC Chilbolton Observatory, Drove Road, Chilbolton, SO20 6BJ
c. The Cosener's House, 15-16 Abbey Close, Abingdon, OX14 3JD
The estimated maximum value of the opportunity is up to £5,000,000.00 excluding VAT across a potential 4-year term with 2 optional extensions of one year (2+1+1). Note UKRI will introduce a one-month mobilisation period which will take place from the start of the contract.
The estimated annual spend is £1,000,000.00 Excluding VAT. Due to the frequent construction of new buildings on site, an additional £1,000,000.00 has been included in the total estimated value. Please note that the amount above is not guaranteed.
