Tender description

This D&B contract is for works on Plot 8 of Inverness Campus to construct a building of circa 2 420 m2 GFA with a common entrance/core area with feature stair / WC facilities / plant room and 2 floors of office/lab/shell space with escape stairs and service risers. The contractor will be required to appoint their own design team to complete any post contract design necessary to enable the development to proceed. They will also be responsible for the management of their designers and all sub-contractors to ensure that the project is delivered on time and to budget. Their remit will also extend to the building, fit-out, all associated infrastructure serving the site including internal plot roads, car parking, SUDS, utility connections and landscaping etc. It is expected that the NEC3 ECC Option A contract will be awarded in December 2017 with a completion date of no later than December 2018. It should be noted that this is a ‘live’ site and Plot 8 already has an existing tenanted building on it. In order to reduce impact and disruption to the existing Campus users, construction access to the development will be via a Haul Road. The total value of the contract is estimated to be between 5 000 000 GBP and 5 500 000 GBP excluding VAT. It is the intention that a Project Bank Account (PBA) will be used for payment of the Contractor and their supply chain.
