## Summary

The University of Birmingham is seeking a Project Manager for the refurbishment of the Old Municipal Bank, with plans for the building to serve as a central hub for various university activities. The tender, which is part of a selective procurement process calling off from a framework agreement, has an award value of £176,127.12 and is classified under construction project management services. The contract duration is set from 25 September 2017 to 24 September 2019. The tender period concluded on 29 August 2017, and the award notice was published on 3 October 2017.

This project offers substantial opportunities for firms in the construction and project management industry, particularly those with experience in managing similar refurbishment projects involving listed buildings. Businesses that provide services aligned with the requirements of a prestigious educational institution, including event management and catering, would also be well-placed to benefit from this contract. Given the scale and significance of the refurbishment, firms capable of delivering innovative and sustainable solutions will be particularly suited to compete.

## Notice

The University of Birmingham is purchasing the city's iconic Old Municipal Bank with the intention of creating a flagship gateway to its Edgbaston campus. This Grade II listed building is in a prime position at the heart of the city's cultural and civic centre, sitting alongside the new retail headquarters for HSBC and opposite the new tramline, the re-developed Centenary Square, the Library of Birmingham, Symphony Hall and Baskerville House (home to the West Midlands Combined Authority and new Mayoral office). Plans for the building are still in development but it is likely to host a range of different activities and programmes from across the University. This will range from executive education and ministerial policy briefings, to public exhibitions and workshops for academics, charities and businesses. A welcoming cafe at the centre of the building will be complemented by private catering and dining for a wide range of events and conferences. An initial feasibility study was completed in April 2017 by a design team comprising of MAKE Architects, WSP (structural and services engineering) and Donald Insall (heritage). This outlined the potential for the building in terms of usage but also technical requirements in terms of services, structure, restoration and integration with adjacent land (including connecting to a shared subterranean car park at basement level).
