Constructed on the site of an old naval school, the Palais de Danse is one of the most unique spaces in the heart of St Ives. Formerly a cinema and dance hall, the Palais was also an important hub for community events during the Second World War and beyond. The building was bought by Barbara Hepworth in 1961 to use as her second studio. This gave her the space to create larger and more complex sculptures, including the monumental Single Form (1961-4) commissioned for the United Nations in New York. Located directly opposite Trewyn Studio - now the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden - the Palais was gifted to Tate by the Hepworth Estate in 2015 and was awarded Grade II listed status in 2020. Together, these buildings housed the entire scope of Hepworth's creative work from 1949-1975. The Palais de Danse is both deeply rooted in community memory and central to Hepworth's artistic legacy worldwide. Having remained untouched since Hepworth's death in 1975, Tate St Ives is now embarking on a major capital project to renovate this significant building with Adam Khan Architects. The changes will introduce substantive improvement to the fabric of the building to support visitor access across all levels of the building, facilities and a visitor welcome, and expand the story around Hepworth's artistic legacy, the importance of the PDD for the community, and the potential for contemporary making and artistic practice, supported by a new artist residency. The project will uncover the Palais's rich history, realise its immense potential for the community and continue its story by securing the building for the long term. A design team has been appointed and we have an indicative design which responds to Tate's brief. The team are currently in Stage 3 and preparing for formal planning submission and our delivery phase of the NHLF application, following a successful first round of funding in 2023. We anticipate opening the Palais to the public in Q3 2026 with main construction completed in Q2 of the same year.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8483c00e-d585-4bf9-9fa3-c4bd3ef28122 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Oct 2024 - 31 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TATE GALLERY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4RG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Vincent Square | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71541000 - Construction project management services ## Release History - 30 Aug 2024 at 13:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8483c00e-d585-4bf9-9fa3-c4bd3ef28122 - 30 Aug 2024 at 11:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8483c00e-d585-4bf9-9fa3-c4bd3ef28122 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8483c00e-d585-4bf9-9fa3-c4bd3ef28122 30th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Cornwall:-Construction-Project-Manager-and-Contract-Administrator/BU44DMHX8T Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
