In plain English
The Health and Safety Executive wants a contractor to refurbish Building 42 at its Harpur Hill site in Buxton, Derbyshire, turning it into a new laboratory and evidence store for investigating gas incidents. The work also covers general repairs to the building and an upgrade to the gas supply so that several appliances can be tested at the same time.
What the buyer wants
• Refurbish Building 42 to create a gas incident investigation laboratory and evidence store, within an existing building on the HSE site • Carry out backlog maintenance, including replacing precast concrete lintels, roofing and associated fabric upgrades • Upgrade the gas main to increase the incoming supply so that appliances can be tested concurrently
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets out no specific qualifications, certifications or experience criteria, so nothing in it rules out a small business outright, but the combined structural, roofing and gas main work on an operational research site would likely favour a contractor with capacity across several trades.
