About the buyer

John Innes Centre is a plant science and microbiology research institute based in Norwich. UKRI-BBSRC provides its strategic funding. Larger works contracts are tendered by the centre itself, as with its glasshouses and insectary. An earlier design services contract for that programme was run by UK Shared Business Services on its behalf.

Over the past 5 years, most of John Innes Centre's contract awards have been in repair and maintenance, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
