Located in Bedfordshire, England, this project falls under the civil engineering category and has a contract value of £1,200,000, with a minimum value of £850,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to close on 10th November 2017. The anticipated completion date for the construction is June 25, 2018, with researchers expected to move in from August 2018. This contract offers significant opportunities for construction firms experienced in sewage treatment and water purification plant construction. Businesses specialising in civil engineering, particularly those focusing on innovative water management solutions, will find this tender particularly suitable. With state-of-the-art facilities being developed, companies that can provide advanced technologies or construction methodologies are well-positioned to compete for this contract, which is part of a broader initiative to enhance infrastructure resilience across multiple universities in the UK. ## Notice Cranfield University is a World leading post graduate University. The new 'Clean' Pilot Hall building will give the Water Science Department greater capacity for research on treated sewage and will link with the 'Dirty' Pilot Hall where the research concentrates more on the raw sewage. The funding for the scheme is from UKCRIC funding and the planned completion date is the end of June 2018 with researchers moving in from August 2018. The outline design proposals were submitted for planning approval on 12th July and approval is anticipated by the end of October 2017.

The facilities are to be housed at 11 universities as part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC). Here at Cranfield, existing facilities will be extended and new test and development spaces created as part of the PS80m National Urban Water Infrastructure Facility, which includes associated investments at Sheffield and Newcastle. Professor Paul Jeffrey, Director of Water, said; "This project is hugely exciting; not just because of the new facilities and research opportunities that it presents, but because it will build on our impressive work in this sector, and bring huge international benefits. It will also link in to Cranfield's aim to become a fully interconnected campus, with a digitalised infrastructure and intelligent mobility road." Several investments will enhance the existing industrial-scale test facilities on campus in two locations. On the main campus investments will be made to provide; a sensor testing facility for exploring the engineering resilience of urban water systems a test area dedicated to the development and testing of point of use water treatment technologies an Infrastructure Breakthrough Innovation Hub with mixed use areas for design, rapid prototyping, and testing a data visualisation suite providing access to data feeds from infrastructure across campus - including from the two pilot halls walk-in access to utility infrastructure located under the road to the east of the building. A second bundle of investments is located at the University's treatment works north of the campus. This will complement an existing wastewater pilot hall and comprise; a new build 220m2 clean water pilot hall housing parallel plug-and-play treatment trains and an advanced soil and sediment erosion testing environment test and control sewer loops for analysing the impact and control of Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) in sewer systems large scale storage and distribution systems for raw water supply to the existing and new pilot halls.
