Notice Description
Purchase and Install of Safety Cabinets
Procurement Information
The Institute for Genetics and Cancer (IGC) is comprised of different buildings linked together, with many spaces that have been refitted and refurbished over the years with a complex services layout, and between the College and Estates collectively there is insufficient knowledge of how the wider plant that feeds some of the key specialist facilities. In discussion with Contract Services and the College, there is agreement that the knowledge developed in the initial investigations stage makes LSS uniquely placed as the only suitable supplier to take on the required replacement work. As the maintenance contractor, LSS were well placed to undertake initial survey work to unpick how the cabinets are serviced and establish the best approach for replacement, which was within the remit of their existing contract. The overall scope of work has a number of technical challenges that are better served by a unified approach, and again LSS have demonstrated that they have a comprehensive understanding of those challenges and have been instrumental in proposing solutions; moreover, they have worked with the College/Estates to propose a staggered schedule of work that makes a project of this scale manageable logistically, given the budget deadline of end of July 2025, at the same time as minimising the impact on research capability.
