UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pirbright Institute sought a single supplier to design, build, install and qualify a new fumigation lobby and dedicated air-handling unit for its ISO11 SAPO 4 animal facility. The work covers detailed design, participation in a hazard and operability study and design updates following its recommendations; factory construction and acceptance testing; delivery to the Institute; installation in a refurbished area; and site acceptance testing both before and after the equipment is brought back into the facility. The supplier is also responsible for managing its subcontractors and providing an operations and maintenance manual covering the work from design through completion. This is specialist ventilation, construction and controlled-facility engineering work, delivered at the Pirbright Institute in Woking, Surrey.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process has since been cancelled: the award is recorded as cancelled, and the procurement termination notice was published on 1 October 2026. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 25 August 2026 at 16:00 and a bid deadline of 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period ran from 30 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender estimate was £151,666 excluding VAT (£182,000 including VAT). There was one lot, and the published evaluation basis directed bidders to the invitation-to-tender pack for full details. The cancellation notice data gives no reason for ending the procurement.

This requirement suits a supplier able to take end-to-end responsibility for specialist design-and-build work in a high-containment animal facility, rather than a business offering ventilation equipment alone. Relevant strengths include designing and installing dedicated air handling and fumigation-lobby systems, coordinating hazard and operability reviews, incorporating resulting design changes, and managing factory and site acceptance testing through to operational qualification. Suppliers need the capacity to build equipment off site, deliver it to Woking and install it in a facility area being refurbished by others, coordinating with their site arrangements and subcontractors. Experience producing thorough operations and maintenance documentation would also be directly relevant. The work may suit a capable engineering contractor with suitable specialist partners, provided it can manage the full delivery and qualification sequence.
