This includes the estate at Weybridge, as well as the Regional Labs at Starcross, Camarthen, Penrith, Newcastle, Shrewsbury, Bury St Edmonds, Sutton Bonnington. The following organisations are able to use the framework: Animal and Plant Health Agency, Department for Environment Food Rural Affairs; Environment Agency, ; Marine Management Organisation; Natural England and Rural Payments Agency. The framework is broken down into seven (7) lots including, Works in Containment Facilities, General Accommodation works, Site Infrastructure Works, Security Systems, Biowaste Effluent Treatment System, Multiple Discipline Design Services and Professional Services. Lot 1: Works in containment facilities Full project life cycle including design, build, installation and refurbishments inside the containment laboratory environment. Projects will require a high standard of general design management including all design disciplines; due to the nature of the technical requirements they are likely to be MEP biased with supporting works such as builders work, air flow analysis and rectification, Building Management Systems (BMS), containment sealability assessment and rectification, provisions of appropriate fixtures and fittings etc. as required to support the MEP works. A key component of Lot 1 will be capability to design, install and commission containment laboratories and associated support facilities. Containment levels will vary from CL2, CL3 SAPO3 and SAPO4 and a combination thereof. Lot 2: General Accommodation Works Full project life cycle including design, build and installation works on DEFRA sites, outside containment or in buildings that do not have containment. Projects will require a high standard of general design management including all design disciplines. Projects will comprise of carrying out surveys, minor alterations, fabric repairs, redecoration, refurbishments, and new buildings in unoccupied and occupied buildings. There may also be a requirement to perform demolitions, asbestos removal, enabling works, infrastructure and building clearances under this lot. Lot 3: Infrastructure Works Full project life cycle including design, build and installation works on DEFRA sites and relate to civil engineering and infrastructure works to support building projects. Projects will require a high standard of general design management including all design disciplines. Works include new geotechnical surveys, earthworks, site preparation, water, gas, telecom, electricity utilities, other below ground services, onsite roads, pavements, hard landscaping, retaining structures, foul and storm water drainage and other associated infrastructure to support developments and are typically will include the following building types. There may also be a requirement to perform demolitions, asbestos removal, enabling works, infrastructure and building clearances under this lot. Lot 4: Security Full project life cycle for active security on sites and within buildings including laboratory / animal facilities, The design, installation & maintenance of active security systems including the following typical systems: • CCTV camera systems; • Perimeter intrusion detection systems; • Intrusion detection systems; • Visitor entry; • Access Control; • Security Lighting; • Security Fencing • Tracking systems • Control rooms. Lot 6: Multiple Discipline Design Services This lot will include the provision of multiple discipline design services for construction projects including a wide range of project types such as high containment, non-containment, refurbishment, new buildings, infrastructure, and associated works.
