## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is currently managing a procurement process for the "2015 Sousse & Bardo Memorial - Design Competition," classified under the works category, specifically focusing on designs and memorial construction. The tender is in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 29th March 2017. The memorial, intended to honour the British victims of the terrorist attacks in Sousse and Bardo, will be situated in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, following consultations with affected families to determine its location and design, with the contract period commencing from 1st August 2017 to 31st December 2017.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in design and construction, particularly those well-versed in developing historical monuments or memorials. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) groups are encouraged to participate, aligning with the procurement method that follows an open procedure. The competition aims to engage innovative firms capable of delivering a respectful and impactful memorial, making it an excellent avenue for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in the public sector.

## Notice

Shortly after the Sousse attack, a Ministerial Committee was established to coordinate the Government's response and provision of support to bereaved families and victims. The creation of a permanent memorial commemorating the British victims of these two terrorist attacks was proposed: The 2015 Sousse and Bardo Memorial. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) was tasked to lead the process of commissioning and installing a memorial to the victims of these terrible attacks. In 2016, a consultation was held with the British families affected by the two attacks to allow them to have a say on the preferred location for the Memorial. With the affected families spread across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham was chosen as the site which came closest to meeting the views expressed by the families on location and accessibility. The affected families were also consulted on the style and setting of the Memorial. Their views have been incorporated into the brief and we envisage a further consultation on the shortlisted designs.
