Notice Title
Victoria Tower Fabric Safety Project - Market Engagement Update
Notice Description
The Palace of Westminster (PoW), which includes Victoria Tower, is an internationally important heritage asset acknowledged in its Grade I listing designation, and its inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Westminster Abbey and St Margaret's Church. Victoria Tower is 325 ft tall and is sited above Sovereign's Gate at the south-west end of the Palace site. The Tower was originally designed as a royal entrance and a repository for the records of Parliament, and is currently home to the Parliamentary Archives, although these are in the process of being moved elsewhere. Significant repairs were last undertaken to Victoria Tower in the early 1990s. The building fabric has deteriorated in the intervening period, and it is now necessary to undertake repairs to the external envelope of Victoria Tower, via a full-height scaffold. Parliament is exercising their duty of care to prevent future deterioration of the building fabric as custodians of this Grade I Listed asset, and to maintain a safe and secure environment in and around the Palace of Westminster.

"description": "This engagement does not commit or constrain the Authority to the draft works outline provided, nor any aspects or element of the delivery model option presented. This is an exploratory market engagement exercise only, not a call for competition. The CPV codes used in this engagement and the full range of services covered may change prior to commencement of the proposed competition. Please note this is a Prior Information Notice and there are no tender documents to download or submit at this stage. A Contract Notice will be issued to signal commencement of the formal procurement process. It is anticipated that this will be issued in March 2023. The Parliamentary Procurement and Commercial Service uses an e-tendering portal (hosted by In-Tend) to manage its procurement processes. You will need to register on the portal before you can express an interest in any opportunities and view the associated tender documents. Many suppliers have existing accounts which they may not have access to. Please e-mail ppcs@parliament.uk if you think you might have an existing account and would like to be added to it, rather than creating a new account. Registering on the PPCS e-tendering portal does not mean you are a supplier to UK Parliament or either House (Commons or Lords).",
