Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking a Main Contractor for the construction of the LARIF Phase 2a Animal Holding Facilities Relocation project. The procurement is in the tender stage and will follow a Restricted Procedure. The contract value is estimated to be £2,000,000 with a tender submission deadline on 18 March 2025. The project involves the construction of a new animal holding building, adjacent to the existing LARIF building at the Easter Bush campus in Edinburgh. Key construction elements include animal pens, staff amenities, and associated infrastructure such as drainage connections and access roads. The project's planned duration is 240 days from the commencement date.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction businesses with experience in building facilities of a similar scale and complexity, especially those with capabilities in animal research or agricultural structures. The contract requires a yearly turnover threshold of £4,000,000 in the prior three years and appropriate insurances. Businesses with robust quality control, health and safety, and project management processes, especially those holding relevant ISO certifications, will be well-suited. The project's emphasis on technical and commercial evaluation ensures that the chosen contractor has a comprehensive approach to quality, cost management, and stakeholder communication, thereby creating potential for substantial business growth and enhanced industry reputation.
