This is a flexible research facility encompassing areas of breeding, laying, hatching, growing and processing. Typically, facilities are used for studying nutrition, physiology, behaviour, health and welfare to better service breeding, nutrition and health research and knowledge exchange needs. Therefore, we are seeking bids from those who have specific specialised demonstrable experience delivering turnkey heated agricultural poultry buildings within the UK within the last 3 years. As bird welfare is paramount to our research work, bidders should have an applied knowledge of Home Office and UK government welfare standards. In addition, this project includes contractor's design portion for services installations. Bidders should have specialist expertise in the design and construction of all mechanical and electrical systems necessary for the health and well-being of poultry stock such as heating and mechanical ventilation systems, lighting and watering systems and control systems. All bidders will be expected to offer solutions which offer best value for money, both in terms of capital (construction) costs but also in whole-life operational costs. Finally, bidders will be expected to clearly demonstrate that they will work collaboratively with SRUC in delivering this project. Following receipt and evaluation of tenders, a preferred bidder will be selected and a period of post tender open book negotiations will be undertaken as design proposals are finalised and agreed with the preferred bidder and SRUC's design team. The preferred bidder will also be required to complete and submit SRUC's Control of Contractor's Health & Safety documents for review and approval prior to commencing works on-site.
