## Description
This package of works forms part of the Next Generation Infrastructure (NGI) Programme, a funded development programme looking to develop the facilities across Norwich Research Park to transform the existing capabilities of John Innes Centre (JIC) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL), both internally recognised centres of excellence in plant and microbial science. NGI will address the deterioration of infrastructure at JIC and TSL to create a world-class facility that will engage with its surroundings, is outward looking and promotes collaboration and innovation to supercharge JIC and TSL's ability to translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions.
As part of the NGI Programme, JIC sought, on behalf of the Norwich Bioscience Institutes (NBI), to procure the services of a specialist supplier for the proposed design, supply, installation and ongoing service provision associated with a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP Engines) within the new NBI Energy Centre located at JIC.
This has been carried out as a two stage tendering process where:
(i) At Stage One: proposed procurement for the design of the CHP engines through a pre construction services agreement; and
(ii) At Stage Two: proposed procurement for the supply, installation and ongoing service provision through a construction contract (JCT Design and Build 2024 with client amends) and a service agreement following completion of the design in Stage One.
This notice relates to the entry into a pre-construction services agreement for Stage One.
