We offer a ground-breaking arts and entertainment programme and are a home to the UK's largest creative community. SH is acknowledged to be one of the finest and largest public buildings of the C18th; being one of the most accomplished Palladian buildings in England. It is a Grade I listed complex.Somerset House Trust (SHT) wish to enhance part of its estate in between the West and New Wings to improve its cultural public offer, strengthen its identity as a hub for artists and creative enterprise and create a new public space that follows the route of a now lost historical connection from the Strand towards the river (West Street). Aside from the external courtyard area, SH does not have any facilities for large performances and gatherings of more than 200 people at a time. SHT is therefore seeking to identify and appoint a design team for a new 1,600 m2 auditorium and public space, known as 'West Street'. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd51b22-3d3f-4ca1-83c6-ec26bea28bfa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Feb 2020 - 30 Sep 2024 | | 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 | SOMERSET HOUSE TRUST (SHT) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2R 1LA | | 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 | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 30 Oct 2019 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd51b22-3d3f-4ca1-83c6-ec26bea28bfa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd51b22-3d3f-4ca1-83c6-ec26bea28bfa 30th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT158548 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 - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/avsp9qplvr13mr5/AADZdVXBGGf7ZvtQR6gziFEPa?dl=0 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
