What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is a contract award notice for the provision of building services infrastructure works at the Barbican Arts Centre.

The aim of the Barbican Renewal programme is to renew the Barbican Art Centre building and infrastructure so that it continues to meet the needs of 21st century artists, audiences, and communities.

Reflecting the Barbican’s organisational purpose to be a creative catalyst for arts, curiosity and enterprise, this investment programme in the Grade II listed complex will celebrate the Barbican’s vision and design heritage, while responding to the creative opportunities and challenges of the future.

The Barbican Renewal programme aims to deliver a leading example of sensitive and sustainable conservation and retrofit for one of the UK’s most significant post war buildings, with the aim of:

  • Repairing the Barbican building to ensure it can continue to function long into the future, through an urgent programme of replacement and upgrade of key building systems
  • Better connecting the Barbican as a place for everyone by re-connecting the Centre to its surroundings. This will involve creating a better sense of welcome, providing more reasons to visit, improving wayfinding and accessibility, and delivering new and improved public spaces
  • Bringing underused spaces into new creative use – without adding an extra square metre of development. This includes investing in existing venues and bringing spaces that have laid dormant for years back to life, putting art and creativity at the heart of their future use
  • Responding to the climate emergency and put sustainability at the heart of plans, contributing to the City of London’s net zero ambitions and investing in environmental improvements that reduce water usage and increase biodiversity across the site.
