Professional Services and Project Management of the South Mimms Decarbonisation Project

Description

1.Background 1.1. As part of the Government Greening Agenda, we need to decarbonise the South Mimms site which has a current carbon footprint of 5,000 tonnes. 1.2. Work has been undertaken to determine the best route to reduce this to meet MHRA's Sustainability Ambition number 1 which states; achieve a net zero building estate by 2030. 1.3. MHRA commissioned a Heat Decarbonisation Plan that looked at various options to reduce the South Mimms site's carbon footprint and establish how well these options fitted with the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) grant application. 1.4. As part of the grant application development, considerable work was carried out to identify the best option for the South Mimms site and to fit it with the grant requirements. 1.5. Work is now required to bring on Professional Services to support the development of the final design (to be approved by the Agency's Decarbonisation Board) and support its implementation including building control and project management to be completed by end of March 2028. 2.Overall Project Objectives 2.1. The project has been awarded a grant to: Docusign Envelope ID: 02284E16-6818-461E-918D-B5A88F24B9BD 2.1.1. Decouple the steam and Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) generation on site. 2.1.2. Install a new LTHW heat network to provide space heating and domestic hot water requirements. 2.1.3. Convert or replace the gas boilers with electrical boilers to provide steam to the autoclaves and freeze dryers and humidification to laboratories. 2.2. To deliver against these objectives, Professional Services will be required to develop a project plan and oversee its implementation. 3.Scope of works for Professional Services 3.1.
