The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with bids due by 28 April 2021. The statutory contract period will commence on 14 June 2021 and conclude on 10 January 2022. This project falls under the event services category, with an estimated value of £850,000, made available through an open procurement method, aimed at providing a 'turn-key' visitor attraction. This tender presents a unique opportunity for firms in the event management and tourism sector to engage in a high-visibility project that contributes to local tourism and community engagement. Companies specialising in construction, event services, visitor management, and landscaping are particularly well-suited to participate, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer innovative solutions and experiences to enhance the visitor attraction at Marble Arch. ## Notice Marble Arch Mound (MAM or the Mound) is a proposal for the temporary installation of a viewing platform, landscaping, pathway and staircase, and other associated works, at Marble Arch for a period of six months. Permission has been sought for the erection of visitor attraction which will comprise of an elevated walkway with a viewing platform providing views along Oxford Street, Edgware Road, Hyde Park and over Marble Arch. The structure will be landscaped with grass (both real and artificial), trees and planting to resemble a grass-covered hill on its southern, western, and eastern sides. Planning Permission has not yet been granted. A decision is expected in the coming weeks and should the application be refused, the Authority reserves the right to withdraw from the Tender Process at any time. The structure will be created from scaffolding broadly rectangular in footprint. The scaffolding will create a hill profile. A walkway will be provided up the hill which will connect to a top viewing platform, the Summit. The top of the viewing platform is 22.5 m in height. The hill is served by a lift. The top of the lift overrun is 25.5m in height. The viewing platform will be 66m2 enclosed by a 2.4m barrier and will offer 360 degree views. The planting on the top, east, south and west elevations will use trays with plants and an irrigation system. The north elevation will be open scaffolding. The Authority is seeking tenders from suitably qualified firms to operate the Mound on its behalf. The Operator will be required to provide management and coordination of the visitor experience, stewarding, security, and daily cleaning (hygiene) services. In order to deliver on the aspiration of having the Mound completed and ready to welcome visitors by early July, the Authority has committed to a Design & Build contract. This will effectively deliver a 'turn-key' attraction ready for an Operator.
