Description

FORMAL EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST INVITED PRIOR TO THE RUNNING OF A CLOSED TENDER:
Lancaster University intends to appoint a Principal Contractor for its new Lecture Theatre project, to provide a 400 seat lecture theatre located west of John Creed Avenue and east of the University Spine. The intention is to locate the theatre in the central space framed by the FASS and chemistry buildings. The space will connect with the Spine and provide high quality landscaped areas surrounding the new theatre building, allowing users to spill out and interact with the external environment. The new building will link with the existing FASS building, therefore requiring minor demolition, remodelling and refurbishment. The University seeks to appoint a Contractor for these works to fulfil both Principal Contractor and Principal Designer responsibilities under the CDM Regulations 2015, and proposes the architect (and current Principal Designer), and civil and structural appointments will be mandatory novations, with the mechanical and electrical appointment being retained client side.
The location of the site is Bailrigg Campus, Lancaster, LA1 4YW.
Mobilisation is planned to commence 7th October 2019 and the works be completed by 7th August 2020 ready for teaching to commence in October 2020.
Please refer to the Expression of Interest letter for all other dates.
