Summary of the contracting process

The UK Biocentre Ltd is conducting a procurement process for Hotel Accommodation Services aimed at supporting its critical COVID-19 testing operations in Milton Keynes. The tender falls under the services industry category and is currently at the Award stage. It had an estimated contract value between £1,000,000 and £1,250,000 for an initial period of six months, with the potential to extend up to one year, depending on the evolving requirements linked to the pandemic. The contract stipulates that accommodation must be located within 7.5 miles of UK Biocentre and comply with specific accessibility and amenity standards. Bidders were able to submit electronic bids until the tender's closure, which has now completed with an awarded status to the supplier, Calder World of Travel, for a contract value of approximately £1,085,600 signed on 17 March 2021.

This opportunity is ideal for hospitality businesses, particularly hotel operators, looking to expand their client base in the health sector. It is particularly advantageous for those offering amenities compliant with the stringent requirements set by UK Biocentre, including sufficient room capacity and proximity to their facilities. With the fluctuating demand driven by COVID-19-related operations, businesses that can adapt to changing requirements and provide high-quality accommodation services will be well-positioned to compete and grow in this segment.

Notice Description

UK Biocentre's laboratories in Milton Keynes are being used to analyse swab samples to support the national effort against the coronavirus pandemic. They are one of the three Lighthouse Labs - the biggest network of diagnostic testing facilities the UK has ever seen. Operations have expanded rapidly to analyse swab samples to determine whether COVID-19 is present, and capacity requirements are continuing to increase over time . We have repurposed existing laboratories and built new ones to provide the capacity required for such a significant undertaking. In order to achieve this level of testing. new temporary staff have been recruited, and this is expected to continue as the need for staff increases as capacity increases. To allow these staff to work at Biocentre laboratories in Milton Keynes on this project, UK Biocentre requires the provision of hotel accommodation.

    "description": "UK Biocentre reserves the right to discontinue or delay the procurement process and may decide not to award a contract as a result of this call for competition. UK Biocentre shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any bidder in considering and/or responding to the procurement process. Tenders and supporting documents must be priced in pounds sterling and all payments made under the contract will be in pounds sterling, unless otherwise advised. Any volume of hotel rooms referred to within this Contract Notice and/or the procurement documents is indicative only and there is no guarantee or warranty of any hotel room volumes, particularly given that the position in relation to Covid-19 testing, and the Government's response to it, continues to evolve. The service will need to be flexible to support UK Biocentre in its testing activities. The estimated contract value for the initial period of 6 months may be in the region of 1,000,000 GBP to 1,250,000 GBP but the value may vary (and therefore may be lower or higher than this range) given that we cannot currently accurately predict Covid-19 activity and, consequently, the volume of hotel rooms required. As such, it is not possible to provide an overall maximum estimated value for the contract given the evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and whether the contract will be extended up to the maximum 1 year period. However, based on the initial 6 month period highlighted above and whilst recognising the value may vary, the overall maximum value could be in the region of 2 - 2.5 million GBP (MT Ref:222281)",
