Key Details

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. This package of works comprises of critical below ground infrastructure works 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. The Works have been designed up to RIBA Stage 3 and it is proposed that the delivery of the Works is procured through a two stage tender on a design and build basis. The forecast construction cost for delivery of the Works is £3.9m. This notice relates to the appointment of a contractor following a stage one tender to develop the RIBA Stage 4 design, develop the construction methodology for the Works and provide a stage two tender for full delivery of the Works.
