NBI Energy Centre - Next Generation Infrastructure Programme

  • JOHN INNES CENTRE

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05a7e4

Description

This package of works forms part of the Next Generation Infrastructure (NGI) Programme, a funded development programme looking to develop the facilities across Norwich Research Park to transform the existing capabilities of John Innes Centre (JIC) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL), both internally recognised centres of excellence in plant and microbial science. NGI will address the deterioration of infrastructure at JIC and TSL to create a world-class facility that will engage with its surroundings, is outward looking and promotes collaboration and innovation to supercharge JIC and TSL's ability to translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions.

As part of the NGI Programme, JIC is looking to procure, on behalf of Norwich Bioscience Institutes (NBI), the services of a specialist contractor for the proposed design, supply, installation, financing and ongoing service provision associated with a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP Engines) within the new NBI Energy Centre located at JIC (the project).

In respect of the capital cost of the CHP Engines, JIC is considering funding arrangements and will either use capital funding or seek to enter into a finance arrangement (hire purchase or lease) with the appointed contactor. The invitation to tender documents will confirm which financing structure is being taken forward by JIC.
