## Description
The purpose of this project is to increase the Institute’s electrical supply resilience (both continuity of science and vaccine production, plus to reduce potential financial loss), reduce waste and safeguard the vaccine batch production via resilient power supply to the building utilising either mains power or generated power in the event of site wide power failure. This will be achieved by a combination of the following two factors:
•	New 510kVA stand-alone emergency back-up generator.
•	UPS resilience on critical equipment to ensure power is bridged whilst generator runs up to speed and then takes the load of building.
Contract Scope
The contract is for a single supplier to provide Design and Build of a permanent automatic emergency power back up in case of power failure and to ensure conditions inside the CVIM building remain intact and vaccine production is not interrupted as per the User Requirement Specification (URS) for The Pirbright Institute (Pirbright), Ash Road, Pirbright, Surrey, GU24 0NF. 
See Appendix E - Contract Specification.
