The Fallowfield Residential Campus is the University's largest and most popular destination for student living, currently providing 3,251 bed-spaces, 1,113 of which will be retained, across its 29 hectare site. The Fallowfield Campus supplies a large component of first year residential provision and is well regarded for its ability to provide a social, supportive and safe environment for students. The western boundary is Wilmslow Road, one of Manchester's key artery routes, which links the Fallowfield Campus to the University's Oxford Road site 2 miles north on the fringe of the city centre.The redevelopment of the Fallowfield Campus is a key objective for the University in its quest to become a top 25 global research university as set out in its strategic plan, Manchester 2020 (http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=14744).To enable it to achieve this objective, in 2014 the University entered into a Collaboration Agreement with the Sponsor, Mubadala Infrastructure Holding Company LLC (a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company), for the redevelopment of the Fallowfield Campus whereby it was agreed that the Sponsor will provide the funding for the redevelopment and the University will procure and manage the design and construction of the works.Mubadala Infrastructure Development Company (Mubadala) is an investment and development company dedicated to supporting the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi through long-term, capital-intensive investments. Wholly-owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, Mubadala was created in 2002 to generate sustainable financial returns for its shareholder and deliver socioeconomic benefits to Abu Dhabi.The University aims to significantly enhance the student experience through a replanning of the Fallowfield Campus, diversifying the range of services and facilities — creating a vibrant student village with hub facilities that support residents on site and the student population within the wider Fallowfield area.The Campus currently comprises;— 3,251 student Bedrooms, circa 1,111 of which will be retained to provide good quality accommodation to students;— the Central Catering Unit for the whole of the university and local site maintenance, (The Limes);— one of the University's main sports facilities, the Armitage Centre;— a conference centre and hotel, Chancellors; and— the Firs Experimental Gardens.Much of the residential accommodation on the Fallowfield site dates from the 1960's and does not now meet the expectations of students or their parents. The site is underutilised and is capable of accommodating additional student numbers which in turn would support the provision of new, essential support facilities, for example new student hub facilities, which would also serve the needs of the wider student population in the Fallowfield area.The University's goal is to enhance the strengths of the Campus by replacing much of the existing accommodation with modern and well-designed residences that meet the needs of students today and in the future, complemented with the right support services and amenities.The Vision for the Fallowfield Residential campus is:— to design, construct and operate the campus in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of the students, employees and the public, that conserves natural resources and energy and promotes the health and safety of the University of Manchester community;— financially and commercially viable — a development that 'takes care of itself';— a unique, vibrant, modern student village that is a showcase for potential students — a place where everyone wants to live;— diverse range of residential offers, a great range of facilities — a place for everyone;— enhances with the wider Fallowfield area and encourages community — a place where everyone has a sense of belonging;— development which can be built and maintained safely, easily and phased — a construction project that minimises disturbance to residents, users and neighbours;— high quality design that is cost effective, durable, well considered and can be maintained and operated easily and efficiently — a place that lasts; and— contributes to local employment and skills — a project the identifies and creates opportunities to benefit Manchester.Start date of contract: 1.6.2016 End date of contract: 31.5.2019The contract will not be open to other purchasers.Procurement documentation can be found electronically at the following address:https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofmanchester/aspx/HomeType of procedure:Competitive procedure with negotiationThe Contracting Authority reserves the right to award the contract on the basis of the initial tenders without conducting negotiations.
