Notice Information

Notice Title

Barbican Renewal - Wayfinding Designer

Notice Description

The City invites Bidders to submit a Selection Questionnaire for the provision of Wayfinding Designer services to deliver the first major phase of work on Barbican Renewal. For over 40 years the Barbican Centre has been offering a world-class programme of unique breadth, spanning every possible creative discipline, staged in an iconic estate of globally recognised significance. Since it opened, however, the buildings comprising the Barbican Centre have deteriorated significantly, and an ambitious and strategic programme of restoration, transformation and reactivation is needed. The Wayfinding project will be delivered alongside a series of projects that will form the first phase of the Renewal programme, to be delivered between 2025 and 2030. This first phase of works will comprise significant upgrade, restoration and improvement works to the main Foyers, Lakeside, Conservatory and Sculpture Court and a programme of improvements to the Centre's central mechanical, electrical and plant (MEP) infrastructure systems. The duration of the contract is 5 years, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 1 year. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 6 years. Please view the Find a Tender service notice for full details. Additional information: This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'capitalEsourcing' (www.capitalesourcing.com). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free. The estimated value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS50,000.
