II.1.4) Short description

The objective of this procurement is to appoint an Integrated Consultant Team (ICT) who will deliver a new Teaching Block for the School of Medicine (SoM) at Ulster University’s Derry-Londonderry campus. The ICT will include provision of a PM, who will administer the NEC4 Engineering and Construction contract on behalf of the Client, undertaking the full range of duties imposed on the PM by the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Works Contract.

The new SoM Teaching Block will provide teaching accommodation to enable the current annual cohort of medical students to move out of the existing interim refurbished accommodation on campus. A schedule of accommodation has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders and partners in the SoM for this purpose, and includes a mixture of seminar, teaching, laboratory, office, meeting and collaborative space, as well as some limited research space.

In addition to this, additional teaching accommodation will be provided in the form of ‘white space’ to meet a projected future increase in student numbers on campus. Whilst primarily intended for an increase in the number of medical students, based on the future projected need, this will be standard flexible university teaching space, which can be used for the teaching of either medical or non-medical students.
