UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Imperial War Museums is procuring demolition works for the Land Warfare Hall building at its Duxford site in Cambridgeshire. The requirement covers the complete demolition of the hall, together with associated site preparation, clearance and earthmoving work. This is a construction and demolition opportunity for a contractor able to manage the removal of an existing museum building and prepare the site as required. The work is being bought by Imperial War Museums, a central government public authority, for delivery at IWM Duxford. The main work category is building demolition and wrecking, including site preparation and clearance (CPV 45110000, 45111000 and 45111100).

The process has reached tender: Imperial War Museums invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically, with the buyer-set deadline of 11 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The single contract is scheduled to run from 6 November 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The opportunity is evaluated on technical quality at 55%, cost at 30% and presentation at 15%. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and is not divided into multiple competing lots; the published requirement forms one package of demolition works at Duxford.

This opportunity suits demolition and enabling-works contractors with the capability to undertake building demolition, site clearance, preparation and earthmoving as one coordinated package. The strongest position will be held by suppliers able to demonstrate a robust technical approach, since technical evaluation carries the largest share of the assessment. Bidders must also be able to explain their proposed approach clearly in a presentation and provide commercially competitive pricing. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist demolition firms as well as larger contractors. Experience managing demolition projects on active or complex sites would be commercially relevant to the requirement, although the published information does not set out specific accreditation requirements.
