    "description": "This package of works forms part of the Next Generation Infrastructure (NGI) Programme, a funded development programme looking to develop the facilities across Norwich Research Park to transform the existing capabilities of John Innes Centre (JIC) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL), both internally recognised centres of excellence in plant and microbial science. NGI will address the deterioration of infrastructure at JIC and TSL to create a world-class facility that will engage with its surroundings, is outward looking and promotes collaboration and innovation to supercharge JIC and TSL\u0027s ability to translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions.\nAs part of the NGI Programme, JIC to looking to procure, on behalf of the Norwich Bioscience Institutes (NBI), the services of a specialist supplier for the proposed design, supply, installation and ongoing service provision associated with a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP Engines) within the new NBI Energy Centre located at JIC.\nThis is a two stage tendering process where:\n(i) At Stage One: proposed procurement for the design of the CHP engines through a pre-construction services agreement following assessment of tender returns from the market; and \n(ii) At Stage Two: proposed procurement for the supply, installation and ongoing service provision through a construction contract (JCT Design and Build 2024 with client amends) and a service agreement following assessment of a tender return from the tenderer successful at Stage One.",

A recording and responses to queries raised will be issued to interested Tenderers the next day. Details of how to attend are included in the ITT. \nStage One Tender Returns will be assessed based on the following:\nGateway Criteria - all tender returns will be assessed on this criteria on a pass/fail basis. \nConditions to Participation - only those tender returns that satisfy the Gateway Criteria will be assessed on this criteria. \nAward Criteria - only those tender returns that satisfy both the Gateway Criteria and the Conditions to Participation will be assessed on this criteria.\nA negotiation period with the tenderer(s) who has the highest score on the award criteria will be undertaken to agree the key terms for the ongoing services arrangements in line with the JIC requirements set out in the ITT.  If JIC, acting reasonably, is unable to reach any agreement on its key requirements with the highest scoring Tenderer, JIC reserves the right in its sole discretion to enter this negotiation phase with the second highest scoring Tenderer and so on to identify the most advantageous offer.\nJIC expects to make an award following evaluation of the tenders submitted in response to the ITT. However following completion of the evaluation of all returns and the identification of the most advantageous offer (according to the process outlined above and in the ITT), JIC reserves the right in its sole discretion to enter into dialogue with the most advantageous offer in order to refine elements of the contract, works, services and cost prior to execution of the contract.\nAn award for Stage One will be in respect of a pre-construction services agreement for the project (PCSA).\nThe full procedure for the Stage One tendering stage, including a timetable for any clarifications and scoring criteria, is further set out in the ITT. \nStage Two\nThe Tenderer appointed under the PCSA will, amongst other things, develop the RIBA Stage 4 design and cost for the full delivery of the project. The construction contract and service agreement may be awarded following completion of Stage Two at the sole discretion of JIC."
