Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work

Tender description

Spen Farm is an existing pig farm owned by the University of Leeds. The existing facility is coming to the end of its lifecycle and the facility is not capable of supporting the increase in operational and academic staff, and the progression of academic learning and development. On this basis a bespoke facility was proposed for the purpose of improving accessibility, operations and the well-being of the staff and livestock. The new pig facility is approximately 7 500 m2 and includes; 5 new pig sheds which support the life and development of new livestock. In conjunction with the new facility, the project will include an ancillary building, providing approximately 900 m2 of space including; offices, meeting rooms, seminar spaces, welfare facilities for staff and animals and laboratories which support the academic function of the building. 0.1 The University is seeking to appoint a Principal Contractor to work with a number of specialist providers in redeveloping its pig facility at Spen Farm, replacing the sheds which support the development of livestock as well as enhancing our academic facilities there. Due to a technical issue with the University's e-Sourcing system and constraints on the funding on which this project is reliant, the University of Leeds needs to utilise the Accelerated Restricted procedure as defined under Regulation 28 (10). Failure to meet external demands on the programme may jeopardise the overall project.
