## Summary

The procurement process initiated by The Pirbright Institute was focused on the construction of a new building to house transformers and switchgear, crucial to protecting the electrical supply for key laboratory facilities and future developments. Located in Woking, United Kingdom, this process was categorised under miscellaneous building structures and building construction work. Initially active, the tender was subject to an open, below-threshold competition, with the tender period closing on 29 June 2026. However, as of 5 August 2026, the process was marked complete with a notice of cancellation, following a decision to reassess the scope and requirements.

This project provided a promising opportunity for construction firms specialising in building and structural steel works. Businesses with experience in deploying infrastructure essential to scientific and research facilities would have been well-suited to compete for this tender. The need to supply innovative solutions for a secure and efficient electrical distribution system presents numerous avenues for contractors to demonstrate expertise in sector-specific requirements, potentially leading to future collaborations with public research institutions.

## Notice

The building of a new enclosure over existing housings which contain the High Voltage (HV) Transformers, known as Tx8 and Tx9, together with the Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear which converts the HV supply into LV power which can be fed into the distribution boards in the buildings they serve. This would safeguard the electrical supply not only to the BBSRC National Vaccinology Centre, the Jenner Building (Jenner), and the new Centre for Veterinary Vaccine Innovation and Manufacturing (CVIM), but also to any future developments and facilities requiring an electrical supply from either Tx8 or Tx9.
