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's ability to translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions. As part of the NGI Programme, JIC is looking to procure, on behalf of Norwich Bioscience Institutes (NBI), the services of a specialist contractor for the proposed design, supply, installation, financing and ongoing service provision associated with a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP Engines) within the new NBI Energy Centre located at JIC (the project). In respect of the capital cost of the CHP Engines, JIC is considering funding arrangements and will either use capital funding or seek to enter into a finance arrangement (hire purchase or lease) with the appointed contactor. The invitation to tender documents will confirm which financing structure is being taken forward by JIC.

The procedure for the Stage One tendering stage, including a timetable for any clarifications, will be set out in the ITT. The ITT will confirm the nature and scope of any financing arrangement being requested by JIC for the supply of the CHP engines.\nJIC expects to make an award following evaluation of the tenders submitted in response of the ITT. However, JIC reserves the right to:\n(i)\tIntroduce a period of negotiation following submission of tenders, if it is unable to make an award on the basis the tenders received in response to the ITT. The inclusion, scope and duration of any such negotiation, followed by an invitation to submit final offers will be at JIC\u0027s sole discretion. \n(ii)\tFollowing completion of the evaluation of all returns and the identification of the most advantageous offer (according to the award criteria), 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).\nTendering Stage - Stage Two \nThe supplier 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."
