Tender description

PHE Science Hub - Main / Tier 1 Construction Contractors (for important notes regarding PQQ Industry Day and PQQ process – refer to VI.3 'Additional Information' of OJEU Notice for Project_2831 - PHE Science Hub - Construction Contractors) - consisting 4 distinct lots; Lot 1 – New Build High Containment Bioscience Laboratory Building Lot 2 – Refurbishment of Mixed use Laboratory Buildings Lot 3 – Arrivals, Administration and Logistics Buildings Lot 4 – Site-wide Infrastructure & External Works. PHE will follow the Two Stage Open Book model (refer to VI.3 of OJEU Notice for Project_2831 - PHE Science Hub - Construction Contractors for more information on this). PHE is inviting prospective Tier 1 contractors to bid for one or more Lots. PHE will apply a restrictive interpretation of the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (“CPN”) for a number of key reasons; • The limitation of the restricted procedure and the inability to discuss isolated commercial issues should they unexpectedly arise; • this limitation is considered contrary to the interests of a viable procurement process; • Conversely, neither does PHE wish to run a protracted or costly process; • Therefore PHE is proceeding with a CPN, only relying on the flexibilities built into that procedure, should this become strictly necessary. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to award the contract on the basis of the initial tenders without conducting negotiations. If a need for negotiations is identified then these will be limited to a number of common key areas identified by PHE as part of the evaluation of the initial tenders. All bidders will need to complete and submit a Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement (CDA) in order to receive a pre-qualification questionnaire (a “PQQ”) (the latter being based upon the PAS 91 format) plus associated appendices. All legitimate bidders who submit a properly completed CDA by 05/08/16 will receive a PQQ on 10/08/16. A bidder submitting a properly completed CDA on or after 05/08/16 will receive a PQQ within 3 days of CDA receipt. In all cases the PQQ submission deadline remains as stated in IV.3.4. The final date for receipt of a completed CDA is 25/08/16. The Contracting Authority intends to use an eTendering system in this procurement exercise. Please refer to paragraph III.2 (Conditions for Participation) of OJEU Notice for Project_2831 - PHE Science Hub - Construction Contractors for further details. It is envisaged that 5 bidders per Lot will be invited to tender. For all further information please refer to the OJEU Notice for Project_2831 - PHE Science Hub - Construction Contractors.
