Project Phoenix: EBRI Integrated Laboratory Safety Programme

2026-11-03

Aston University is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise for Project Phoenix, an integrated programme of safety-critical works within the EBRI building. The project encompasses gas detection systems, Building Management System (BMS) upgrades and integration, emergency power-off and life-safety systems, gas storage facilities, laboratory ventilation controls, and associated electrical, mechanical, civil and structural works. The purpose of this exercise is to gather industry feedback to inform the University’s decisions on the project’s procurement strategy, contract structure, delivery model and packaging of works. Potential approaches include appointing a Principal Contractor to manage and coordinate the entire programme, procuring individual specialist work packages, or adopting a combined approach. Interested suppliers are invited to access the opportunity via the Delta eSourcing portal, review the attached Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise document and submit completed responses to the questions provided. Responses must be submitted by 11:00 am on Friday 30 October 2026. Requests for site visits, additional technical information and clarification must be submitted through the Delta eSourcing messaging facility. This preliminary market engagement exercise is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a commitment by Aston University to proceed with a formal procurement process or appoint a supplier.
