## Summary

The University of the West of England (UWE) is inviting tenders for the "014/2017 Health Tech Hub" project, which focuses on the construction of new facilities at their Frenchay Campus, located in the South West of the United Kingdom. This open procurement process, which aims to invest between £1,000,000 and £1,600,000, is currently in the tender stage and will close on 28th April 2017. The project is classified under construction work (CPV code 45000000) and will involve the installation of advanced infrastructure and specialised services for health technology research and innovation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in laboratory and healthcare facility developments. Firms that can provide expertise in mechanical and electrical installations, partitioning, and compliance with BIM Level 2+ standards will be well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating, businesses can support the establishment of a national Centre of Excellence in health technologies, potentially enhancing their portfolios and driving growth in a promising sector.

## Notice

The University will be going out to tender for works that will involve the construction of new Metsec partitions with 'lidded pods' to create new layout of a similar make up to the adjacent Future Space, and associated finishes. The recently installed M&E infrastructure will be extended to service the Health Tech area, made up of Mechanical ventilation, heating, lighting, power, data, fire alarm and door access. Specialist services will also be installed to the new Category 2 lab areas, such as natural gas supplies and ducting to the fume cupboards. The Health Technology Hub vision is to create a national Centre of Excellence in health technologies relating to independent living and home-based diagnostics. The project will involve the creation of new state-of-the-art facilities providing the necessary equipment and skills to support research and innovation in the field. A key goal of the Hub will be to create and bring to market new assistive living (independent living) technologies providing better quality healthcare. The facility will be assessable to businesses, supporting product development, evaluation and trials, reducing the cost and risk associated with product development and thus improving their rate of innovation and reducing the time to market. The design team are currently at RIBA Stage 4. The project is being delivered in accordance with the University's policy's, rules & regulations. The University's Design Guides and Standard Specification have been adopted, with any derogations formally agreed. The project is being delivered to BIM Level 2+. Planning for the Health Tech use is already granted and a new Planning Application has been submitted for the new roof mounted flues and supporting structure. UWE own the building where the new Health Tech Hub will be created and this is located within the Frenchay Campus. As well as the adjacent occupants, the site wider campus will be in use during the construction period. The site is located in an unoccupied space within T Block on the UWE Frenchay Campus recently cleared ahead of the project. Adjacent areas occupied within T block include Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL) and a University Enterprise Zone that has recently been created and was opened in August 2016. The Enterprise facility is operated by Oxford Innovations and the space is called Future Space. The adjacent occupants will remain on site during the construction phase. Refer to floor plan attached. Construction works within T Block to create a new Enterprise Zone was completed in August 2016 with a further phase of work to provide expansion space within Bristol Robotics Lab completed in January 2017. With the recent successful bid for further ERDF funding this allows the final phase of work to be undertaken within the remaining cleared and vacant space of T Block.
