The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with an open procedure method. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the deadline of 5th October 2021 at 12:30. The contract value ranges from a minimum of £100,000 to a maximum of £180,000, with the contract period scheduled to begin on 25th October 2021 and last until 31st December 2021. The main industry categories involved include ventilation equipment and HVAC installations. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and HVAC industries to engage with a recognised research organisation. Businesses specialising in ventilation systems, air-conditioning installations, and related works would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With a focus on both the installation of new systems and enhanced operational efficiency, bidders with innovative solutions and relevant experience in the sector are likely to stand out in the selection process. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 08 September 2021 for the following reason: The closing date for this tender was incorrectly stated at 10/9/2021, this should have stated the 05/10/2021 at 12:30 and has now been amended.(The goal of this project is to replace and update the air handling systems of our main laboratory suites. The Class 2 containment laboratories are split into two operational parts, utilising three air handling units. The existing air handling units are currently operational, but are at their life expectancy. In replacing the air handling units, we then have the option of changing from a glycol medium to a DX refrigerant medium for cooling and heating, as well as reaping the benefits of the increased efficiency of EC speed controllable fans etc. The air handling units which supply the laboratories are to be replaced with units which match the heating, cooling and volumetric airflow requirements of the laboratories. As the AHU's are handling 'Class 2 containment' lab air, new systems must be capable of achieving an air change rate and filtration process suitable for purpose. A maximum contract value of PS180,000 is available for this contract.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b358b997-7a94-4c6d-9016-889f19a7cbce | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Oct 2021 - 31 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UKRI - BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Newnham | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 42512000 - Air-conditioning installations - 42512300 - HVAC packages - 42520000 - Ventilation equipment - 45331210 - Ventilation installation work ## Release History - 8 Sep 2021 at 14:05 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b358b997-7a94-4c6d-9016-889f19a7cbce - 7 Sep 2021 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b358b997-7a94-4c6d-9016-889f19a7cbce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b358b997-7a94-4c6d-9016-889f19a7cbce 8th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Cambridge:-UKRI-1654-Science-Building-2-Cooling-System-Replacement/MUGG56638T Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
