Description

Pre-market engagement is being undertaken for the proposed design and build of a new Grade C downstream manufacturing cleanroom (Module B) at the Braintree Manufacturing Innovation Centre (BMIC). The engagement will test the market’s capability to deliver the complete design, construction, commissioning and qualification of the facility, including cleanroom construction, HVAC, utilities, electrical systems, controls and integration with existing BMIC systems. Suppliers will also be asked to provide feedback on their relevant GMP cleanroom experience, capacity to deliver the project, proposed timescales, long-lead items, key risks and indicative costs. The feedback received will help refine the specification, confirm the project programme and budget assumptions, and inform the procurement and contracting strategy ahead of the formal procurement process. The current target is for the facility to be fully commissioned, qualified and ready for GMP manufacturing operations by March 2028.
