This procurement, classified under "Advertising consultancy services," seeks to address the substantial deterioration of the Barbican Centre. Located in London, the contract will span from May 2025 to March 2030, with potential for a one-year extension, covering significant upgrades to the Centre's key areas and MEP systems. The procurement follows a restricted procedure with key deadlines including a tender submission end date of 10 January 2025. This tender offers significant opportunities for firms adept at large-scale design and consultancy projects to showcase their expertise within a high-profile restoration initiative. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate. The contract, valued at an estimated £300,000 over a maximum of six years, provides a stable and enduring business opportunity, ideally suited for companies with a robust capability in innovative design solutions and infrastructure improvement. ## Notice The City invites Bidders to submit a Selection Questionnaire for the provision of Wayfinding Designer services to deliver the first major phase of work on Barbican Renewal. For over 40 years the Barbican Centre has been offering a world-class programme of unique breadth, spanning every possible creative discipline, staged in an iconic estate of globally recognised significance. Since it opened, however, the buildings comprising the Barbican Centre have deteriorated significantly, and an ambitious and strategic programme of restoration, transformation and reactivation is needed. The Wayfinding project will be delivered alongside a series of projects that will form the first phase of the Renewal programme, to be delivered between 2025 and 2030. This first phase of works will comprise significant upgrade, restoration and improvement works to the main Foyers, Lakeside, Conservatory and Sculpture Court and a programme of improvements to the Centre's central mechanical, electrical and plant (MEP) infrastructure systems. The duration of the contract is 5 years, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 1 year. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 6 years. Please view the Find a Tender service notice for full details. Additional information: This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'capitalEsourcing' (www.capitalesourcing.com). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free. The estimated value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS50,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8e75d1c-5736-4fba-925f-8f87b507eaf6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2025 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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 | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79341100 - Advertising consultancy services ## Release History - 9 Dec 2024 at 15:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8e75d1c-5736-4fba-925f-8f87b507eaf6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8e75d1c-5736-4fba-925f-8f87b507eaf6 9th December 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039648-2024 Find a Tender Contract Notice - https://www.capitalesourcing.com Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
