SPACE IN BPSIC
|
The buildings housing BPSIC have been comprehensively refurbished intenally and externally and equipped with modern ICT facilities. The space offers modernised, managed accommodation ranging upwards from 11 sq.m (120 sq.ft) for a whole range of office, studio, laboratory, technical, assembly, or light manufacturing purposes. The workspaces are individually secured and alarmed with Redcare monitoring, and generally provided carpeted but unfurnished, and equipped with window blinds. We will make every effort to accommodate requirements for different floorings, finishes, layouts and furnished options. As you would expect from its history, Bletchley Park is a secure site with a manned security gatehouse at the Park entrance which controls access to the Park. Arrangements can be made for 24-hour access if required. Access for staff is controlled throughout the Centre by means of a proximity fob system and there is external lighting and CCTV coverage, supported by seven days a week, out-of-hours static guarding. |

We offer licences to occupy with a minimum duration of six months and a notice period of one month. We levy a service charge on top of the licence fee to cover utility bills (including electricity, gas and water at normal office usage levels), security costs, general office cleaning and a contribution to the cleaning of the common areas of BPSIC, waste collection, grounds and general building maintenance, car parking and some included internet and email access (see below). Licence fees and service charges are invoiced in 12 equal installments per annum, monthly in advance. We request payment of one month's licence fee and service charge as a refundable deposit. Telephones and ICT services are managed by our on-site Partner. A 100MBit/s bearer with a guaranteed five-hour fix time service level agreement with the ISP forms the primary connection to the site. Within the Centre connections are made using RJ45 sockets which are permanently live and the system is configured using software. A standard number of sockets depending on the office size is provided as standard and more can be added if required. Up to 1GB of upload/download bandwidth per month is included in the service charge together with the provision of a dedicated network segment and a firewall. Additional bandwidth usage is charged per GB or part thereof used in any month. Voice over IP telephones are used internally which means that phones can be moved anywhere within the Centre. Voice is broken out onto primary rate ISDN for external calls. Internet connectivity of 1Mb/s is standard and can be increased if required. With an on-site presence, additions, changes and support on all these matters are managed promptly. |

Telephone services in BPSIC are charged as an extra. Our basic service provides you with telephone line, handset and a Milton Keynes number from our own dedicated range which would revert to us were you to leave the Centre. However, we also offer the option to customise the service by adding a non-geographic number (NGN) which is portable, meaning that you would be able to take it with you wherever you moved within the UK. Our telephone lines are digital so if you require a dedicated fax machine then you would need to have an analogue line and then sufficient digital phone lines to cover your telephone requirements. Alternatively we can also offer the use of a central fax machine on a pay-per-page basis. For budgetary purposes we would invoice you for line and NGN number set-up charges on any services you require on arrival at Bletchley Park. Thereafter line and NGN number rental charges are invoiced monthly in advance and call charges and excess internet bandwidth usage charges are invoiced monthly in arrears. Photocopier use is charged per A4 and A3 copy. All other charges are for any special requirements that you may have and order from us: eg use of the Meeting Rooms, catering, event management services etc.. These are all invoiced monthly in arrears and our standard payment terms are 14 days from date of invoice. There are several kitchens within the Centre equipped with fridges and tea and coffee making facilities. A restaurant on site also offers hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and hot snacks with discounted rates for tenants. Meeting rooms are available within the Centre and these can be booked on an ad hoc basis at no additional charge. High quality meeting rooms, corporate exhibition and conferencing space are available for hire in the historic Mansion, together with presentational audio visual equipment and an excellent catering and event management service. |
