## Summary

The Pirbright Institute, located in Woking, England, is commissioning the construction of The Centre for Veterinary Vaccine Innovation and Manufacturing (CVIM). This new facility, a collaboration between the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is designed to advance the development of animal vaccines. The project, valued at £6.5 million, falls under the industry category of laboratory building construction. The procurement follows an 'Open Procedure' and has reached the award stage, with key dates including tender closure on 5 July 2024, and contract duration from 2 January 2025 to 26 March 2026. The project will involve the design and construction of a roughly 590m² facility on the existing Pirbright site, adhering to standards like NEC4 Option A: Fixed Price with Activity Schedule and targeting net zero carbon emissions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, laboratory facility design, and biocontainment solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in executing complex, high-specification builds incorporating cleanrooms, biocontainment, and environmentally sustainable practices will find this tender particularly appealing. The contract encourages business growth by offering a significant project in a high-profile and impactful field. Companies capable of delivering innovative and efficient process development and manufacturing solutions for vaccines will benefit from the broad socio-economic and health impact driven through this initiative.

## Notice

A joint initiative between the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will see the creation of a new centre at The Pirbright Institute designed to accelerate the development of animal vaccines to combat emerging and urgent infectious diseases. The consequences of livestock disease can be catastrophic. As well as posing a very real risk to global food security and international trade, livestock disease also presents a significant threat to global human health due to its pandemic potential. While the UK remains a world-leader in the early-stage development of vaccines for both human and veterinary medicine, globally we need to strengthen our collective capacity to translate scientific discoveries into solutions for the most challenging veterinary infectious diseases. The new Centre for Veterinary Vaccine Innovation and Manufacturing (CVIM) will bridge the gaps between research and expertise in process development and manufacturing while strengthening the UK's own emergency response capacity and capability. It will bring about tangible health and economic benefits by focusing on diseases prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. Procurement Route - Design and Build Tender Strategy - 'Open Procedure' Single Stage Tender Design Stage - Stage 3 Form of Contract - NEC4 Option A: Fixed Price with Activity Schedule The successful Contractor will be responsible for designing and building a c.590m2 new-build facility for The Pirbright Institute, c.461m2 of functional space on the ground floor and c.129m2 of plant space on the first floor. 1) General building outline: New build facility, 590m2, two story above ground, with all functions on ground floor, and plant room on the first floor, comprising of 1 nr GMP cleanroom (ISO007), 1 nr cold-room (CNC), 1 nr freezer room, RM Storage and receipt areas, 1 nr QC Micro lab (CNC), 1 nr QC lab (CNC), a write up area/office and all supporting areas including a plant room and associated external works. 2) The building will be constructed within the existing Pirbright site. 3) Achieve Part L - 2, target for Net Zero Carbon (NZC).
