The tenderer is required to design, manage and install every aspect of the works as shown. The Museum has agreed to split the works into two lots, but is not willing to split the scope of work into further fractions. However, contractors can appoint sub-contractors to complete some elements of the work.

The works have been clearly split as below: -

Lot 1- Design & Build – Roof / Panel Coating, Rainwater Goods, Solar PV (Roof Array) and Lighting Install

Lot 2- Design & Build – Ground Based Solar Array Install.

Tenderers can choose to bid for either or both of the lots but must make this clear within their submission. Tenderers cannot bid for individual elements of Lot 1.

In compliance with CDM regulations, The Tenderer will act as Lead Designer and Principle Contractor for the project, and should reflect this in their tender submission.
