The project, falling under the construction industry category and encompassing architectural and structural modifications, had a total estimated value of £3,000,000, with a net amount of £2,500,000. Initially set with a tender submission deadline of the 4th of April 2025, the deadline was extended to the 18th of April 2025, allowing for more bidders to participate before the contract period slated to commence on the 30th of May 2025 through to the 12th of June 2026. Despite these arrangements, the tender was ultimately cancelled after the procurement stage reached a point of completion and subsequent cancellation in October 2025. The tender for Building 47's refurbishment created substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for construction firms with expertise in structural refurbishments and those with a focus on nuclear safety standards, given the integration of safety protocols for new nuclear facilities as part of the project's requirements. The open procurement process was structured to evaluate bids on a 70% quality and technical capacity and 30% cost, offering an equitable chance for proficient construction businesses to secure work on a high-profile government project. Such projects are particularly suitable for companies seasoned in large-scale refurbishments, especially those familiar with compliance in the energy sector and adept at innovative architectural modifications. This tender showcased a conducive platform for expanding industry relationships and demonstrating capabilities on a significant government-aligned project. ## Notice Building 47 has an existing and functioning Van de Graaff Accelerator on the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) campus at Teddington. More than 60 years after the installation of NPL's first neutron measurement facility the UK government outlined plans for a new series of nuclear reactors in a bid to boost UK energy security and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The new facility at NPL will provide all important traceability in terms of established safety protocols and stringent regulatory compliance that ensures these new-build reactors can help drive the rapid and safe expansion of nuclear power in the UK. The refurbishment of Building 47, including architectural and structural modifications, and MEP services strip out and replacement. The majority of the works entail refurbishment to the accelerator room, accelerator control room and main lab bay area To access the tender documentation please follow this link to turner and townsend's eTender site: https://turnerandtownsend.bravosolution.com/web/login.html Please contact Josh.Bridgeman@ttalinea.com if you have any issues. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069081-2025 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 May 2025 - 12 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | Lots value | £2,500,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NPL MANAGEMENT LIMITED | | Additional buyers | Missing; TURNER & TOWNSEND COST MANAGEMENT LIMITED | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Horsforth | | Westminster constituency | Leeds North West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 28 Oct 2025 at 15:46 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069081-2025 - 14 Mar 2025 at 10:24 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009367-2025 - 28 Feb 2025 at 14:18 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007535-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069081-2025 28th October 2025 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009367-2025 14th March 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007535-2025 28th February 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.turnerandtownsend.bravosolution.com ## Notice URLs - http://www.npl.co.uk - https://turnerandtownsend.bravosolution.com - https://turnerandtownsend.bravosolution.com/web/login.html - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.turnerandtownsend.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
