Notice Title

British Museum Western Range Project Manager and Lead Consultant

Notice Description

The British Museum wishes to appoint a Project Manager and Lead Consultant team for RIBA Stages 2 to 7 of the design, planning and construction of the re-development of the Western Range. The redevelopment of the Western Range forms part of a wider series of works being undertaken by the Museum, known as the Masterplan.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The project is focused on the Western Range, a substantial part of the estate that is in urgent need of both repair and re-imagining. This offers the Museum an opportunity to make a statement of its future intent, through reimagined galleries, new state-of-the-art storage facilities and engaging contemporary architecture, in juxtaposition to the highly significant and already celebrated listed buildings on the site. Despite appearing as a single entity, the Western Range comprises a miscellany of separate buildings which have been added to Robert Smirke's original Grade I listed Museum; as a result, the exact extent of the red-line boundary and phasing for this project is dependent on a number of interlocking considerations. The proposed project outline can be seen in the attached documentation. In the region of 15,000m2, it accounts for almost 15% of the floor space within the Bloomsbury site, in a warren of inflexible and static rooms. Further, recent surveys indicate that the existing building fabric and infrastructure are in a state that is below modern expectations. It comprises around 7,500m2 of gallery space and currently houses the Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece (including the Parthenon Sculptures), Rome, and Ancient Assyria and Middle East collections, along with 4,500m2 of back-of-house collection storage. Working with the Museum, the Project Manager and Lead Consultant will work with the design and wider consultant team to deliver an architecturally significant, long-lasting, robust intervention, founded on an effective approach to sustainability. This will address the shortcomings of the existing buildings, while delivering the first phase of the reimagined display of collections in new, permanent gallery spaces, alongside modern-day visitor experiences and back-of-house facilities, all within a built environment that is simple and effective in its design and management. Addressing the challenges posed by the condition of the existing buildings and infrastructure will require sensitivity, careful intervention and complex, intricate design solutions. The Museum is seeking an experienced Project Manager and Lead Consultant to provide the following core services: * Develop and implement project controls * Develop a detailed Project Programme * Establish clear Design Responsibilities Matrix * Develop and monitor a project Risk Register * Implement Change Control * Lead the Consultant Team * Coordinate engagement with the Client * Planning application support * Procurement strategy support * Contractor procurement support * Post contract construction support Full scope details may be found in the procurement documents Additional information: To respond to this opportunity please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/2KEJ768YAG
