The Class 2 containment laboratories are split into two operational parts, utilising three air handling units. The existing air handling units are currently operational, but are at their life expectancy. In replacing the air handling units, we then have the option of changing from a glycol medium to a DX refrigerant medium for cooling and heating, as well as reaping the benefits of the increased efficiency of EC speed controllable fans etc. The air handling units which supply the laboratories are to be replaced with units which match the heating, cooling and volumetric airflow requirements of the laboratories. As the AHU's are handling 'Class 2 containment' lab air, new systems must be capable of achieving an air change rate and filtration process suitable for purpose. A maximum contract value of PS180,000 is available for this contract.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1176a34f-ae38-4cf1-938f-f70eb8377d81 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 5 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2021 - 31 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UKRI - BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Newnham | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 42512000 - Air-conditioning installations - 42512300 - HVAC packages - 42520000 - Ventilation equipment - 45331210 - Ventilation installation work ## Release History - 27 Oct 2021 at 13:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1176a34f-ae38-4cf1-938f-f70eb8377d81 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1176a34f-ae38-4cf1-938f-f70eb8377d81 27th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=624585725 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
