The consequences of livestock disease can be catastrophic. As well as posing a very real risk to global food security and international trade, livestock disease also presents a significant threat to global human health due to its pandemic potential. While the UK remains a world-leader in the early-stage development of vaccines for both human and veterinary medicine, globally we need to strengthen our collective capacity to translate scientific discoveries into solutions for the most challenging veterinary infectious diseases. The new Centre for Veterinary Vaccine Innovation and Manufacturing (CVIM) will bridge the gaps between research and expertise in process development and manufacturing while strengthening the UK's own emergency response capacity and capability. It will bring about tangible health and economic benefits by focusing on diseases prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. ### Procurement Route - Design and Build Tender Strategy - 'Open Procedure' Single Stage Tender ### Design Stage - Stage 3 Form of Contract - NEC4 Option A: Fixed Price with Activity Schedule The successful Contractor will be responsible for designing and building a c.590m2 new-build facility for The Pirbright Institute, c.461m2 of functional space on the ground floor and c.129m2 of plant space on the first floor. - General building outline: New build facility, 590m2, two story above ground, with all functions on ground floor, and plant room on the first floor, comprising of 1 nr GMP cleanroom (ISO007), 1 nr cold-room (CNC), 1 nr freezer room, RM Storage and receipt areas, 1 nr QC Micro lab (CNC), 1 nr QC lab (CNC), a write up area/office and all supporting areas including a plant room and associated external works. - The building will be constructed within the existing Pirbright site. - Achieve Part L - 2, target for Net Zero Carbon (NZC).
