Technical requirements: The Authority is looking to procure Project Management, Design, Build, Installation, Commissioning and Handover Services for works on the APHA Science Estate. This includes the estate at Weybridge, as well as the Regional Labs at Starcross, Camarthen, Penrith, Newcastle, Shrewsbury, Bury St Edmonds, Sutton Bonnington and Lasswade and any other similar Authority facilities.
In order that Defra deliver a challenging capital investment plan over the next 4 years, the Authority is looking to place a framework contract to cover these services. These will be broken down into seven (7) Lots.
This lot covers the full project life cycle including design, build and installation works inside the containment environment. The works will be MEP biased with supporting works such as builders work, air flow analysis and rectification, containment sealability assessment and rectification, provisions of fixtures and fittings etc. as required to support the MEP works. A key component of Lot 1 will be capability to support testing, commissioning and validation of newly installed equipment or functions within a high level (CL3 and CL4 (only used for SAPO4 — no ACDP4)) containment environment, although work may be requested in any form of containment facility.
Contractors bidding for Lot 1 will be required to demonstrate prior experience of working within a high level containment environment. It is anticipated that the majority of works required will be in SAPO3/ACDP3 environments but there will also be works required in SAPO4.
The successful bidders will need to demonstrate proven capability to provide services through a supply chain, including project management.
In all cases however, if work is awarded under this lot, it is the responsibility of the successful bidder to manage the supply chain, even if the successful bidder chooses to use providers from other lots. The successful bidder would take full responsibility for all sub-contractors and act as principal contractor under the CDM Regulations, unless otherwise notified.
The works undertaken within Lot 1 will be subject to SWIFT, Hazop, LOPA, establishment of SIL ratings and other analysis as required under BS EN 61511 where they create or change a safety function. The successful bidder will be required to demonstrate suitable knowledge and experience of such procedures.
This lot covers the full project life cycle including design, build and installation works on the overall site, outside containment or in buildings that don't have containment. The works will be MEP biased with supporting works such as ground works, builders work etc. included to support the MEP works. Additional services such as fabric repairs, redecoration and refurbishment will be included in some projects to deliver support accommodation refurbishment. There may also be a requirement to perform demolitions and building clearances under this lot.
The successful bidders bidding for Lot 2 will be required to demonstrate prior experience of working within a campus environment supporting critical facilities and undertaking works within an operational safety critical environment.
The successful bidders will need to demonstrate proven capability to provide services through a supply chain, including project management.
In all cases however, if work is awarded under this lot, it is the responsibility of the successful bidder to manage the supply chain, even if the successful bidder chooses to use providers from other lots. The successful bidder would take full responsibility for all sub-contractors and act as principal contractor under the CDM Regulations, unless otherwise notified.
This lot covers the full project life cycle for security and CCTV within internal building and laboratory/animal facilities and external areas. Internally the CCTV installations will provide both user protection function (i.e. man down identification) and a facility security function. The external CCTV works will include expanding and extending the existing system to increase and improve coverage. It will be important for the successful bidder to be able to demonstrate experience in integrating different systems/components into a common reporting and management system if the technology is different than currently in operation.
The access control works will include the update, reconfiguration and installation/replacement of the existing security network and associated access control devices and systems. This includes door interlocks for security to the containment suites.
There is no requirement to deploy the same equipment, but any new devices or systems must interoperate and form part of a single security view on site activity.
For works in containment facilities the successful bidder will be required to comply with the same obligations as entering any containment facility. If required, they may need a supply chain containing containment experienced suppliers, or they can access the containment providers under Lot 1 of this framework.
