Abstract

UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) is planning to launch a procurement for a framework of major and minor building works for the Medical Research Council. The works are mainly, but not exclusively targeting the transformation of the MRC (Medical Research Council) Estate to a net zero position, including complex facilities that must be compliant to specific statutory and regulatory requirements.

It is critical that the research facilities have a very high standard to attract and enable to progress world class science.

The current estates portfolio consists of a mixture of new and older facilities in various regions (Oxfordshire – MRC Mary Lyon Centre, Cambridgeshire – MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, London – London Institute of Medical Sciences) containing a wide range of functionality.

We are seeking to establish a framework, which will consist of one contract for minor works in each of these regions and two contracts for major works that will service all three of these regions but represent different formats – one contract being a Design & Build main contractor approach, the other Management Construction model.

It is the intention to appoint the framework contracts for a period of 3 years with the option of a 1-year extension (total of 4 years). The contracts will be based on the NEC4 contract suite with the most suitable contract being selected for the respective works.

MRC would like to invite potential bidders to several supplier days. There will be the opportunity to learn more about the diversity and the potential of this requirement and to ask any questions you may have. Useful feedback from the days and Q&A sessions may be used to inform the final tender documentation, ensuring all valid options are considered. These will be taking place at our facilities in

11th July 2022 - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Francis Crick Avenue, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, CB2 0QH

12th July 2022  - 58 Victoria Embankment, London

13th July 2022  - MRC Mary Lyon Centre, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, OX11 0RD

14th July 2022 - Virtual Supplier Event online access only

The events are expected to last about 2.5 hours comprising an introduction to the respective facility (presentation), presentation of the requirements and how we anticipate operating this framework followed by question-and-answer session.
