What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTate are embarking on a £3m refurbishment of grade 2 listed building known as the Palais de Danse (or Palais) in St Ives Cornwall. The building has had a rich history and been an important venue in the town stretching back to the 1800s having been a naval college, a cinema, a dancehall and latterly the second studio of the artist Barbara Hepworth. The building has lain empty since the artists death in the 1970s and a full refurbishment is needed to bring the building back into useful life. The Tate run the adjacent Barbara Hepworth Museum and Garden and the Palais will extend visitors understanding of Hepworth’s work by allowing access into the spaces where she created some of her most iconic larger scaled work.

- Suitability
For insurance cover, the requirement is £5m for public liability, £5m employers’ liability (compulsory insurance) and £5m professional indemnity insurance. Tenderers that do not currently hold these levels of insurance will need to do so prior to award, at no extra cost to Tate.
Please confirm within your response that you hold this insurance cover, or commit to taking it out before the start of the contract.
- Economic & financial standing
Liquidity Test (Acid Test)
(Current Assets – Stock) / Current Liabilities
From the latest 2 years accounts, the average result of the Test should be 0.8 or greater e.g. Y1 – 1.3, Y2 – 1.6 equals an average of 1.45.
Please provide your last 2 years accounts so that Tate can independently verify that you meet this threshold.
Please also provide evidence of your VAT status i.e. a VAT number.
- Technical & professional ability
Tenderers should ideally possess relevant experience, demonstrated by on-going and historical contract information. However, it is recognised that this may not be possible for Tenderers new to the field, or for small providers whose customer base is limited, in which case the information given should relate as closely as possible to this ideal. Tenderers who are unable to demonstrate this will fail.
Please provide 2 case study examples, undertaken in the last 5 years of providing similar work, ideally, but not compulsorily, in the SW region.
