RBGKEW1055
The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens ("RBGKEW") wishes to establish a framework to undertake Architecture Consultancy support required to help develop, design and deliver projects within its programme of projects.
Background / Expected projects & Developments
Though considerable improvements have been made in the last few years, RBG Kew currently has a significant defect liability that requires action. The extent of the backlog and a method of identifying the most urgent works was drawn up in 2018 via the completion of a site-wide elemental condition survey and risk assessment. This piece of work of has been built-on and aligned with Kew's Sustainability and Energy Plans, which are targeting a carbon positive estate by 2030, to create a new five-year programme of work across the two estates.
This programme consists of infrastructure improvement, refurbishment, and conservation projects. Though not all the projects within the programme relate to listed or protected assets, conservation knowledge and design experience is required to ensure the projects are developed in a sensitive way, respectful of Kew's status as a world Heritage Site.
