In plain English
The MHRA (UK medicines regulator) needs to replace three gas-fired steam boilers with two electric steam boilers at their live research laboratory in Hertfordshire. The supplier must handle the full job: detailed design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover, while keeping the facility running safely throughout.
What the buyer wants
• Complete detailed design of the new electric steam boiler system and all associated mechanical, electrical, controls, building and civil works • Supply and install two 3,000 kg/h electric steam boilers to replace the existing three gas-fired boilers • Carry out all enabling works, testing, commissioning and handover on a live operational medical-research site • Manage the project under NEC3 ECC Main Option A contract terms with transparent pricing and disciplined change control • Deliver measurable social value commitments relevant to the local area
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract will disqualify most small businesses because it requires NEC3 ECC contract experience (a specialist form of contract used mainly by large contractors and utilities), detailed design capability, work on a live medical-research facility with complex safety and continuity requirements, and a contract value of £5.8 million is typically beyond SME bonding and cash-flow capacity.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
