This project falls under the construction industry category and is valued at £900,000. The procurement method employed is limited, having been awarded without prior publication of a contract notice, in accordance with the extreme urgency provisions due to COVID-19. The contract period will commence on 8 April 2020 and is expected to conclude by 30 June 2020. The procurement stage is in the Award phase, with the award notice published on 28 May 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for contractors specialising in construction and refurbishment projects, especially those experienced in rapid turnaround times to address urgent public health needs. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include skilled construction firms and suppliers who can mobilise quickly to meet the stringent deadlines set by the Medicines Discovery Catapult, particularly in response to unforeseen circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic. ## Notice Refurbishment of Block 21, Alderley Park, to accommodate the Lighthouse laboratory. The Lighthouse laboratory is based at Alderley Park science park. Alderley Park is owned by Bruntwood. As a result, any refurbishment of the premises at Alderley Park, in order to accommodate the Lighthouse laboratory, were undertaken by Bruntwood. In its response to COVID-19 and with only days available, MDC, on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care, is entering into contracts without competition or advertising the requirement. In accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and Procurement Policy Note 01/20, the following tests have been met: * There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency - the response to the COVID-19 consequences needs to be immediate because of public health risks. * The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseen - the COVID-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something that MDC could have predicted. * It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the Public Contract Regulations (2015) - there is no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation, nor does the MDC have access to an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system. The situation is not attributable to the MDC - MDC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c27e80-f78d-44a7-8209-70da2192c274 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award of contract without prior publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 2 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Apr 2020 | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2020 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £900,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £900,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MEDICINES DISCOVERY CATAPULT | | Locality | CHESHIRE | | Post town | Stockport | | Postcode | SK10 4TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Chelford | | Westminster constituency | Tatton | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BRUNTWOOD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 28 May 2020 at 12:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c27e80-f78d-44a7-8209-70da2192c274 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c27e80-f78d-44a7-8209-70da2192c274 28th May 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://md.catapult.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
