## Description
Imperial War Museums (IWM) is seeking tenders from experienced and qualified contractors for the construction of a new Fire Engine Shed adjacent to the existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower at IWM Duxford. This facility will serve as a critical operational hub for the IWM’s fire response team, supporting rapid deployment, equipment storage, and personnel readiness in a heritage-sensitive and safety-critical environment.
The new building must be utility in style, prioritising functionality, durability, and low maintenance, while incorporating architectural features that complement the historic character of the surrounding site. The design must respect key planning constraints, including maintaining unobstructed visual lines from the Visual Control Room and ensuring the new structure does not exceed the height or footprint of the ATC Tower.
Internally, the shed will accommodate three fire vehicles with appropriate spacing and emergency access features, alongside dedicated areas for equipment storage, breathing apparatus servicing, decontamination showers, changing facilities, and a watch room with CCTV integration. External works will include a floodlit vehicle manoeuvring zone, secure access to airfield taxiways, drainage infrastructure, and improved pedestrian pathways.
The successful contractor will be expected to manage the project in accordance with airside safety protocols, environmental regulations, and a clean site policy, with works being completed by the end of March 2026.
