This project, aimed at delivering a permanent tribute to the Windrush generation, is located in London. The engagement deadline for interested suppliers to express their interest is 19 March 2021. The procurement process is focused on engineering consultancy within the industry category of engineering services, with an emphasis on collaboration and community involvement. This tender presents a significant opportunity for engineering firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in consultancy and design. Businesses that are well-suited to compete should have experience in providing engineering advice for similar projects and a willingness to collaborate on a pro bono or reduced-cost basis.

MHCLG are delivering and funding this work in collaboration with the Windrush Commemoration Committee, chaired by Baroness Benjamin. To deliver the final monument and ensure it is constructed and placed safely and securely at the site in London Waterloo Station, MHCLG requires specific additional support and expertise to provide engineering advice in the choice of design and its construction. This EOI seeks to understand the interest from Potential Suppliers to provide Engineering Consultancy and advice to the Windrush monument project. This EOI seeks to identify the interest and ability of industry to help MHCLG to develop a robust and detailed specification for an engineering consultant to oversee the design and construction of the monument. Early indications from the market has led the Authority to believe operators may wish to be associated with this project and support it, possibly on a pro bono basis. Accordingly the Authority seeks to explore to what extent the Supplier would provide services without charge or charge at below market prices.
