NEW 3RD FLOOR BIOMED LAB AND REFURBISHMENT OF 2ND FLOOR SCIENCE LABS AT SMR

Tender description

The University of West London wishes to engage a Principal Contractor to provide a key-turn solution to survey, investigate, validate, design, supply and install a new Classification 2 BioMed Lab to the 3rd floor and to refurbish and modernise the existing Science Labs and associated spaces to the 2nd floor under Design & Build procurement at the St Mary’s Road (SMR) campus. The works include reconfiguring of office and teaching accommodation within mixed use floors, to create these specialist teaching spaces (refer to Appendices). UWL wishes to create a ‘suite’ of Labs going forward and therefore the works under this contract must have the same ‘look and feel’ as the existing BioMed Labs located on the 3rd floor of the Warwick Building. The works are to take place whilst the building is fully operational with both staff, students and external hire guests making use of the building throughout the programme as well as other small works contractors undertaking business-as-usual maintenance and works. It is therefore imperative that the works are completed in a sympathetic manner. The Principal Contractor will be fully responsible for arranging, design, supply, installation and compliance of the new laboratories and associated spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors including safe access to undertake the works including full risk assessment and method statements considering the internal and external site and the close location of the adjacent neighbours.
