This will cover the extension and refurbishment of the existing Insectary laboratory. The works and services required are fully described in the Introduction Document in Section 2 of the ITT and the Tender Specification Documents which are attached as separate documents.

The Contract will commence on 30th May 2024 and will run until the completion date of 21st January 2025 followed by a 12-month defects liability period. Main reasons for decision not to subdivide contract into lots: Given the need for one main contractor to co-ordinate the delivery of the works and services required to deliver the project, the contract has not been subdivided into lots.
