The University of Bath, Estates and Campus Infrastructure directorate, invites Expressions of Interest from specialist principal contractors for a decarbonisation project at the Sports Training Vehicle (STV), a high-performance sporting facility on the University's Claverton Down campus.
Phase 1 requires the full replacement of one of the STV roofs, including strip-out of the existing covering, supply and installation of a new roofing system specified to accommodate photovoltaic panel loading, and associated structural and enabling works. Phase 1 must be substantially complete within the University's summer 2027 break. This programme window is fixed and non-negotiable. Subsequent phases for the other STV roofs will be discussed. Early design work has been undertaken by a structural engineer and MEP consultants. The University is seeking contractors who can demonstrate specialist capability in roofing and PV/electrical installations, a credible plan to deliver Phase 1 within the fixed summer 2027 window, and a commitment to best-in-class products and innovative approaches that reflect the facility's profile. Strong sustainability credentials, including low embodied carbon and responsible product sourcing, are expected.
