## Summary

The University of Plymouth is undertaking a procurement process for a project titled "Data Centre Relocation," categorised under construction work. The tender, which is currently in the award stage, aims to design, supply, and fit a new Data Centre facility at the Portland Square building, necessitated by refurbishment works at the Babbage building. The planned contract period runs from 10th February 2020 to 15th July 2020, with an award value of approximately £474,002. The tender opportunity was originally published on 20th November 2019, and the submission deadline was 17th January 2020, with the project located in Plymouth, South West, England.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction, design consultancy, and relocation services sectors, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive solutions for data centre construction. While specific Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are not targeted given the contract's suitability criteria, larger firms with relevant infrastructures may find this project appealing. Contractors experienced in similar large-scale relocations and constructions would be well-suited to compete for this project, potentially enhancing their portfolios and establishing long-term partnerships with educational institutions.

## Notice

The Babbage building is located on the main campus and will be undergoing a complete refurbishment along with some new additional elements, starting early July 2020. In its place the University is planning on creating a New Engineering and Design Facility which will house variety of flexible teaching spaces for various faculties and student use. Due to the work carried out on site there is a requirement for relocation of Data Centre currently based in room 015 in Babbage building to room B008 at Portland Square building. The University is therefore looking to procure a contractor to design, supply and fit a complete solution resulting in the creation of a new Data Centre Facility within Portland Square building.
