Published requirement description

The British Museum is looking to update and replace an expired consultancy framework for the delivery of construction and renewal / refurbishment projects, as well as strategic and technical studies which are used by the Museum in decision making on the scope, scale and investment priorities for the estate. The need to re-establish a procurement route for these services has been used as an opportunity to review requirements and rationalise the former wide-ranging suite of six multi-lot frameworks into a single more streamlined framework based on the following 5 lots:

1.Lot 1 Project Management

2.Lot 2 Quantity Surveying

3.Lot 3 Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health and Fire Engineering

4.Lot 4 Architecture and Interior Design

5.Lot 5 Structural and Civil Engineering

In addition to the services delivered in the five core Lots, there will be non-core and specialist duties (see individual Lot details below).

CPV: Architectural services for buildings · Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services · Building surveying services · Civil engineering consultancy services · Construction project management services · Contract administration services · Energy-efficiency consultancy services · Health and safety consultancy services · Interior design services · Mechanical and electrical engineering services · Quantity surveying services · Security services · +2 more

3.Complex, stand-alone M&E / lift / security / fire systems renewal or refurbishment.

4.Refurbishment / renewal / creation of spaces, sometimes in conjunction with refurbishment of wings).

5.Masterplan projects including new buildings and / or significant reconfiguration of existing wings / spaces.

Over the period of the renewed framework (2021-2025) the Museum will be focusing efforts on investment in the existing building stock, so the number of projects will be weighted towards categories 1 to 4 above. However, as strategic planning advances and funding opportunities arise category 5 may progress during the period of the new framework.

Suppliers must be willing and able to work across the full range of projects in terms of type and value to ensure the frameworks deliver value for money and provide a reliable and efficient source of expertise.

Estimated spend under this Lot is £1.5 million to £5.5 million.

The call-off methodology for the frameworks includes both direct award (using ranking) and mini-competition, and is described in ITT Annex 2B JCT Contract Amendments.
