Notice Title
MRC Installation and Minor Works Framework
Notice Description
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to inform the market of a potential opportunity to participate in the Installations and Minor Works framework for the Medical Research Council (MRC) campuses on London, Oxford, and Cambridge. The MRC intends to engage with potential contractors through a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) event and subsequent PME activities. The publication of this early engagement opportunity is a voluntary publication and does not represent a commitment by the MRC to initiate, run, or complete a full procurement competition in relation to a contract for the works described. The MRC supports world-leading medical research efforts across the biomedical spectrum, from fundamental lab-based science to clinical trials, and in all major disease areas. The MRC has embarked on a transformational journey of its estates with the aim of establishing world-leading scientific research centres, and achieve a carbon-neutral status by 2040. To do this successfully, MRC requires an Installations and Minor Works framework that can support a range of projects at the facilities listed below - *MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences, Hammersmith Hospital Campus, London *MRC Harwell site, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, and *MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge The following Installations and Minor Works projects are expected to be part of the framework requirements: *Design/Installation/Replacement of scientific equipment and associated works: e.g. individually vented caging systems, autoclaves, and reverse osmosis systems *Demolition Works *Building Enclosure Works: e.g. roof repairs *Building Interiors: e.g. building fabric upgrade works *Building Services Works: e.g. CCTV, air conditioning units, chillers, lighting, and building management systems works *Decarbonisation Works: e.g. photovoltaic panels, solar canopies, boiler replacements
Lot Information
