Description

The Francis Crick Institute Limited (the Crick), the Contracting Authority is an exciting project to create a world-leading multi-disciplinary biomedical research institute in the heart of London.
The project is supported by six of the world's most influential and respected scientific organisations: Cancer Research UK (CRUK); the Medical Research Council (MRC); the Wellcome trust; University College London (UCL); Imperial College london; and King's College London.

The Crick is intending to procure Accommodation and Care Equipment for Rodents (ACER) in 2015/2016 valued at up to £7.45m.

The equipment will be broken into three lots:-
Lot 1 - Individually Ventilated Cage systems including automatic watering manifolds and nozzles and 20% external water pouches up to £6m.
Lot 2 - Mobile Cage Change Stations up to £1.2m
Lot 3 - Mobile Cage Change Stations for work up to and including Hazard Group 2 pathogens up to £0.25m.
A bidder may bid for one, all or multiple lots.

Please note that a separate procurement activity will be run for Lot 4 mentioned in the Prior Information Notice. This procurement will take place after Lot 1 has been awarded to ensure that the Cage base transport dollys are compatible with Lot 1.

The ACER equipment will be sited at the new Crick building at Brill Place in London.

A crucial part of the ACER equipment requirement is that approximately 20% of the requirement for Lot 1 will be required in advance of Home Office testing at the end of September 2015. The subsequent phases will be required in 2016. The initial delivery for Lot 2 Mobile Cage Change Stations and Lot 3 Mobile Cage Change Stations for Hazard group 2 pathogens will be required week commencing 18th January 2016.
