Engineering Delivery Framework

This lot covers the full project life cycle including design, build and installation works inside the containment environment. The works will be MEP biased with supporting works such as builders work, air flow analysis and rectification, containment sealability assessment and rectification, provisions of fixtures and fittings etc. as required to support the MEP works. A key component of Lot 1 will be capability to support testing, commissioning and validation of newly installed equipment or functions within a high level (CL3 and CL4 (only used for SAPO4 - no ACDP4)) containment environment, although work may be requested in any form of containment facility.

Providers will have prior experience of working within a high level containment environment. It is anticipated that the majority of works required will be in SAPO3/ACDP3 environments but there will also be works required in SAPO4.

Providers will need to demonstrate capability to provide services through a supply chain, including project management.

In all cases however, if work is awarded under this lot, it is the responsibility of the provider to manage the supply chain, even if the provider chooses to use providers from other lots. You will take full responsibility for all sub-contractors and act as principal contractor under the CDM Regulations, unless otherwise notified.

The works undertaken within Lot 1 will be subject to SWIFT, Hazop, LOPA, establishment of SIL ratings and other analysis as required under BS EN 61511 where they create or change a safety function. The providers will be required to demonstrate suitable knowledge and experience of such procedures.
