The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with an open procedure method. The tender was published on 12th August 2020, and submissions are due by 18th September 2020. The project aims to create a new collection care facility with a budget of approximately £2.9 million, essential for the Vision 2025 transformation programme of the National Railway Museum. This tender presents significant opportunities for architecture and design firms, particularly those specialising in sustainable and innovative building solutions. Businesses that focus on architectural and related services will be well-suited to compete, as the project emphasises low energy usage and integration with the existing museum site. The selected contractor will play a crucial role in enhancing the cultural landscape of the area, potentially leading to further collaboration within the arts and heritage sectors. ## Notice Critical to the delivery of Vision 2025, our transformation programme of the National Railway Museum, York and Locomotion, Shildon; is the provision of a collection care facility to promote the care and management of the Science Museum Group's rail vehicle collection. The proposal focuses on finding a team to design a new building to store collections which can also be visited by the public. The circa 4,000 sqm building needs to integrate with the existing museum site and its purpose is to house 40-50 rail vehicles from the Science Museum Group's world-class collection. The building has a 2.9 million GBP construction budget.Coined Locomotion Building 2, the facility will deliver a sustainable, low maintenance, low energy usage building, which is sympathetic to the nearby conservation area, further contributes to placemaking on the site, and is accessible to all. As the most significant change to Locomotion, since opening in 2004, the building will provide an enhanced and more inviting presence for the museum, emphasising its pivotal role as a cultural cornerstone for the community.The museum's intention is that Locomotion Building 2 is holistically conceived as an integrated ensemble of spaces with sustainability a key hallmark of the project. It is recognised that this major new addition will have an impact on the existing buildings and structures across the estate. Therefore, proposed enhancements to the surrounding landscape and facilities will be instrumental to the design. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4d599be-1442-4ed4-994d-d80ca1f6740e | | 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 | 12 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Oct 2020 - 21 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4d599be-1442-4ed4-994d-d80ca1f6740e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4d599be-1442-4ed4-994d-d80ca1f6740e 12th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG160221 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
