Professional Services and Project Management of the South Mimms Decarbonisation Project

1.Background

1.1. As part of the Government Greening Agenda, we need to decarbonise the South

Mimms site which has a current carbon footprint of 5,000 tonnes.

1.2. Work has been undertaken to determine the best route to reduce this to meet MHRA's

Sustainability Ambition number 1 which states; achieve a net zero building estate by

2030.

1.3. MHRA commissioned a Heat Decarbonisation Plan that looked at various options to

reduce the South Mimms site's carbon footprint and establish how well these options

fitted with the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) grant application.

1.4. As part of the grant application development, considerable work was carried out to

identify the best option for the South Mimms site and to fit it with the grant

requirements.

1.5. Work is now required to bring on Professional Services to support the development of

the final design (to be approved by the Agency's Decarbonisation Board) and support

its implementation including building control and project management to be completed

by end of March 2028.

2.Overall Project Objectives

2.1. The project has been awarded a grant to:

Docusign Envelope ID: 02284E16-6818-461E-918D-B5A88F24B9BD

2.1.1. Decouple the steam and Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) generation on

site.

2.1.2. Install a new LTHW heat network to provide space heating and domestic hot

water requirements.

2.1.3. Convert or replace the gas boilers with electrical boilers to provide steam to the

autoclaves and freeze dryers and humidification to laboratories.

2.2. To deliver against these objectives, Professional Services will be required to develop

a project plan and oversee its implementation.

3.Scope of works for Professional Services

3.1. To help MHRA deliver its project objectives, specialist help is required as detailed

below:

3.1.1. Develop and agree Project Brief, Initial Budget,

Programme, Sourcing Strategy and any other supporting

work to deliver these documents based on the agreed

objectives in section 2 and Grant Application.
