HMP Low Newton - New Generator - BPRN 570/22/7684

UK-wide

Project Description

The main objective for this project is to install a new generator, located in an outside compound area. The existing establishment 500 kVA Standby Generator (containerised) has been identified as obsolete and beyond life expectancy. This creates a risk to site stability in the event of a power outage. A temporarily hired Generator is providing backup. The replacement and upgrade work to the Standby Generator replacement is required to be conducted in compliance with Standby Generators Standard Number: STD/E/SPEC/017 Rev 06. A constructor has been appointed for the design and build of the project. This is a two stage Design and Build Contract let under the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract. The original estimated value of the contract was calculated by MOJ, and its Cost Consultants following desktop and non-intrusive surveys and was based on information reasonably known at the time and arrived at via a thorough and appropriate methodology. The first stage will involve the constructor providing Pre-construction surveys and design services at a cost of £267,141.
