Notice Title
Main Contractors Framework 2026
Notice Description
LSHTM Framework for Main Contractors, to procure works across all campuses of its estate, broken out into the following Lots: Lot 1 - Main Contractor - Carry out construction projects, either as traditional single stage or design and build. Lot 2 - Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP) Contractor - Predominantly in relation to either large plant replacement, or large scale replacement of for instance light fittings, or distribution pipework but may also cover simple external and internal refurbishment works. With an estimated total value of LSHTM capital projects over the life of the Framework of between PS15,000,000 and PS63,000,000 GBP based on up to PS60,000,000 for lot 1 and up to PS3,000,000 for lot 2. These figures cannot in any circumstances be guaranteed and nor should they be taken as a minimum or maximum amount. Typical call-off contract values range from PS250,000 - PS10,000,000 for lot 1, and PS10,000 to PS150,000 for lot 2. Please note that refurbishment work in the laboratories is of a highly technical nature, requiring extensive relevant skills and experience. In addition, the refurbishment works generally take place in occupied buildings with other research activities ongoing nearby, requiring careful planning and execution of the works so that no research is interrupted. Due to the criticality of these research activities an ability to react and resource promptly to address technical issues that threaten research continuity is required.
Lot Information
Lot 1 - Main Contractors
Lot 1 - Main Contractors - Carry out construction projects, either as traditional single stage or design and build.
Renewal: The initial term will be 5 years with the option to extend for a further two years. A longer term framework is required due to the scale of the projects that will be called off from the framework, the time to deliver each scheme and the relatively low frequency of the schemes/competitions. The extended duration will enable the delivery of the School's capital programme, and the opportunity to develop the collaborative relationships that the School desires.
