PR21 - B265 Suite C Specialist Equipment

The project objective is to provide temporary accommodation for the TSE mice, currently housed in B126 which is scheduled for demolition during Q1 2027 to make way for the new NBC science hubs. Suite C has been identified for this purpose and requires some alterations to make the suite suitable. These alterations require the purchase of some specialist equipment (which is the subject of this STA). The supplier has a factory shutdown over summer which risks delaying the project. To avoid delays, a STA is proposed to procure the equipment and receive delivery during the first week of August (before the factory shuts down for summer).
