The procurement is for Exhibition Design services for the extension, renovation and refurbishment of Paisley Museum (total project cost GBP 42m). The aim of Paisley Museum Re-Imagined is to provide a visitor experience of international quality, which tells the inspirational stories of Paisley, its heritage and its pattern. The transformation of the Paisley Museum is underpinned by a series of high-level strategic project aims that will turn it into 1. Leading European museum - telling the story of Paisley as a pattern and a town. 2. Visitor destination drawing its audience from Scotland, UK and overseas. 3. Platforming institution for learning, skills development, innovation and research. 4. Community resource at the heart of Paisley's local life. The Council will make four appointments at this time. 1. Multidisciplinary Design Team MDDT 2. Exhibition Designers 3. Project Managers PM 4. Quantity Surveyors QS The exhibition designer will deliver services (detailed in the Scope of Service) from RIBA Stage 2 to 6 for the exhibition works, to include: 1. Exhibition Design (3-D) 2. Graphics Design (2-D) 3. Graphics Artworking & Illustration 4. Lighting Design (displays) 5. Exhibitions Structural Design The project represents an exciting opportunity to alter and extend a fine neo-Classical building to respond to a unique collection, history and to deliver a fully 21st century facility that places the visitor at its heart. The MDDT will be responsible for designing a High Street-facing extension to deliver a bold new cafe, shop and reception, to resolve the current building's problematic vertical circulation, remove accretions and reinstate public areas, renew the services and refurbish the buildings. In tandem with the architectural development, the museum's collections will be reinterpreted and redisplayed, utilising modern interpretation and display techniques, increasing the number of objects on display from 600 to 1200. The displays, created by the Exhibition Designers, will be delivered through a flexible display system (including plinths and display cases), high-density displays and key attracts that might incorporate multi-media shows and some degree of immersion. The Council's intended approach is to use the restricted procedure to procure a form of an SBCC (2011) standard form with quantities, for subsequent procurement of three main contracts for project delivery: 1. Enabling Works 2. Main Contractor 3. Exhibition Works The Council is issuing this PIN to update the market and allow them to prepare for the tender. Please refer to section VI.3 Additional Information for details on the proposed procurement programme, noting that this is provisional and subject to change. The project has been awarded a first round pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards an overall grant of 4.9m and will be subject to a second round application in 2019.
