UKRI-4680 Programme Management Partner for STFC

The UKRI-STFC Science Estate are beginning a long-term Estate transformation and decarbonisation programme, not only planning for new buildings and infrastructure but to address backlog maintenance, replace end-of-life estate and to decarbonise. A long-term partnership agreement of 8 years has been identified as the optimum approach to securing both a Construction Partner and Programme Management Partner in delivering this important programme. UKRI-STFC are instructing two separate procurements, for each partner, with the requirement for the partners appointed to work collaboratively with STFC Estate leaders and wider stakeholders to realise the programme. Given the full potential scope of the UKRI-STFC Estates transformation programme, the proposed maximum values for the Programme Management Partner for STFC across an 8-year duration is £16M ex VAT. It is to be noted that this is the maximum spend and is not fully guaranteed. This procurement is for the Programme Management Partner. This procurement will secure a national, long-term Programme Management Partner to lead the strategic delivery of UKRI-STFC’s estate transformation programme, with a primary focus on achieving a sustainable, decarbonised and future-ready scientific estate aligned with the UK’s long-term infrastructure needs.
