## Summary

The University of Lancaster has initiated the procurement process for the "Health Innovation Campus Phase 1 Principal Contractor" project, related to construction works within the healthcare sector. This open tender is located in Lancaster, England, and aims to deliver significant infrastructure including an Innovation Hub and academic accommodation over a contract period commencing in August 2017 and concluding in July 2019. The tender period closes on 2nd June 2017, with the University planning to award the contract by July 2017. The total estimated construction cost is between £25 million and £30 million, with a successful contractor expected to begin work on-site by 25th September 2017, pending the securing of essential public funding.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for construction firms, particularly those experienced in large-scale projects aiming to engage with public-sector partnerships. Businesses specialising in design and build services, as well as those focusing on innovation and collaboration with academic institutions, will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The emphasis on creating commercial spaces for SMEs within the development also opens avenues for smaller contractors looking to partner with the University and healthcare providers in this collaborative environment.

The remainder of the Faculty would be incorporated in phase 2. (C) Business space focused on SMEs (phase 1), but open to all commercial businesses, creating opportunities for co-location and collaboration with the University, other businesses and healthcare providers.
