It is planned to cover a comprehensive suite of services including design, build, installation, and commissioning for various facilities associated with the Animal and Plant Health Agency, predominantly located in Surrey and surrounding regions. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a value estimated at £400 million. Interested parties should note the future notice date is set for 30th August 2021, which could provide further clarity on tender submissions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in containment facilities, security systems, and multi-disciplinary design services. Companies focusing on high-level containment environments, and those experienced in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) works, will be particularly well-positioned to compete for the various lots outlined. With potential projects spanning the full lifecycle of construction, from groundwork to advanced security installations, this framework could lead to fruitful partnerships and substantial business growth in public sector contracting. ## Notice The Authority is looking to procure Design, Build, Installation, Commissioning and Handover Services for works on the APHA Science Estate. This includes the estate at Weybridge, as well as the Regional Labs at Starcross, Camarthen, Penrith, Newcastle, Shrewsbury, Bury St Edmonds, Sutton Bonnington and Lasswade and any other similar Authority facilities. In order that Defra deliver a challenging capital investment plan over the next 4 years, the Authority is looking to place a framework contract to cover these services. It is intended that these will be broken down into five (5) Lots. These lots will include, Works in a Containment Environment, Site Accommodation and Infrastructure, Security, Liquid Waste Inactivation and Multi-disciplinary Design Services. Please note that this notice does not commit the Authority to issuing a tender and/or awarding a contract. ### Lot Information Works in Containment Facilities This lot covers the full project life cycle including design, build and installation works inside the containment environment. The works will be MEP biased with supporting works such as builders work, air flow analysis and rectification, containment sealability assessment and rectification, provisions of fixtures and fittings etc. as required to support the MEP works. A key component of Lot 1 will be capability to support testing, commissioning and validation of newly installed equipment or functions within a high level (CL3 and CL4 (only used for SAPO4 - no ACDP4)) containment environment, although work may be requested in any form of containment facility. General Accommodation & Infrastructure This lot covers the full project life cycle including design, build and installation works on the overall site, outside containment or in buildings that don't have containment. The works will be MEP biased with supporting works such as ground works, builders work etc. included to support the MEP works. Additional services such as fabric repairs, redecoration and refurbishment will be included in some projects to deliver support accommodation refurbishment. There may also be a requirement to perform demolitions and building clearances under this lot. Security This lot covers the full project life cycle for security and CCTV within internal building and laboratory/animal facilities and external areas. Internally the CCTV installations will provide both user protection function (i.e. man down identification) and a facility security function. The external CCTV works will include expanding and extending the existing system to increase and improve coverage. It will be important for the successful bidder to be able to demonstrate experience in integrating different systems/components into a common reporting and management system if the technology is different than currently in operation. The access control works will include the update, reconfiguration and installation/replacement of the existing security network and associated access control devices and systems. This includes door interlocks for security to the containment suites. Liquid Waste Inactivation This lot covers the full project life cycle for high level containment facility drainage, to include Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and Vacuum Drainage systems and all associated pipework, components and controls. Work will concentrate on recommissioning, equipment refresh and overall operation of existing services, but may also include design, implementation, commissioning and verification of new units as required. The successful bidders bidding for Lot 5 will be required to demonstrate prior experience of delivering high containment facility drainage systems to include all necessary Hazop and SIL analysis through to validation and verification works. The works required will include SAPO2, SAPO3, SAPO4, ACDP2 ACDP3 environments. The successful bidders will need to demonstrate previous design, installation and commissioning experience, along with project management within a NEC contract environment.
