Summary of the contracting process

The Courtauld Institute of Art is planning a significant redevelopment of its Strand Campus, specifically targeting the East Wing with extensions to nearby buildings on The Strand in London. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated service commencement in April 2025. The project involves diverse construction-related services, including pre-construction advice, demolition, façade retention, and various structural works, among others, with the hard demolition set to begin in August 2026 and the entire construction expected to complete by 2028. This project is open for competitive proposals under an open procurement method classified within the "Construction management services" category, and interested parties should note key deadlines, such as the tender period ending on 27th March 2026 and the enquiry period closing on 6th March 2026. The projected value for the construction management contract is approximately £4.9 million, excluding VAT.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses operating in the construction and project management sectors, especially those with expertise in managing large-scale redevelopments within Grade I and II* heritage sites located in densely populated urban settings. Companies that have previously handled similar complex projects, particularly those offering services in demolition, structural works, and trade contractor management, are well-suited to compete. The use of an open procurement procedure along with a flexible competitive process allows businesses of varying sizes to participate, thereby opening doors for growth within the UK's vibrant construction industry. This initiative not only signifies an opportunity to contribute to a prestigious cultural institution but also to forge long-term relationships and establish credibility in managing heritage-sensitive projects.
