Plans to redevelop the National Physical Laboratory site at
Teddington, Middlesex, have been switched to a PFI route by the
Government.
Mace was appointed project manager to help the NPL undertake a œ20 million rationalisation plan in May 1992. Tenders for phase 1 of a three-year rolling programme were due to go out in 1993, but the scheme was put on hold until now.
The NPL, an agency of the Department of Trade and Industry, currently consists of some 54 buildings totalling 36,000m2 of space. The buildings vary in age and quality - some may require little work, while others may need replacing entirely.
The scope of the PFI contract will cover property and facilities management for the NPL. It will include planning, administration and implementation of building replacement and refurbishment, as well as maintenance and servicing of all buildings over a 25 year period.
