## Summary

The National Archives Public Record Office is seeking a design partner for the Architect Design Partner project, with the intention to enhance their Kew site in Richmond, England. This procurement process, classified under architectural and related services, is in the tender stage and follows an open procedure. Interested suppliers must submit their Standard Selection Questionnaire by 5pm on 14 March 2017. The project has an estimated construction cost of approximately £8,508,000, with the planned appointment of a design partner set for May 2017, contingent on securing external funding.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in architecture and design services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering innovative design solutions. Companies with experience in transforming public spaces and enhancing audience engagement would be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this project, businesses can contribute to creating a more inviting and distinct environment at The National Archives, thereby expanding their reach and potential for future engagements in similar projects.

## Notice

The National Archives has a strategic commitment to providing a vibrant, welcoming, learning environment that attracts a wider and more diverse audience. We seek to do this by developing our onsite and online service delivery, and through the delivery of new services, particularly in the form of events and planned programmes of activity, for both academic and casual users. We are seeking to make The National Archives a destination in its own right, and to make the environment more distinctive and identifiable, and in so doing, widen awareness and appreciation of The National Archives and the value of archives to individuals as well as society as a whole. We have a full master plan to transform our public spaces to support our ambitions to grow and diversify our audience groups through facilitated public engagement, and began to deliver discrete elements of the master plan, in a phased approach, in 2015/16. The National Archives now wishes to select a design partner and architect to further develop the designs and to complete the transformation of public space at its Kew site. Whilst we wish to appoint a design partner in May 2017, the project start date and overall timeframe is subject to The National Archives successfully securing external funding. The overall construction cost estimate is assessed to be circa. PS8,508,000. The National Archives will shortlist a maximum of 5 potential suppliers to be invited to tender, subsequent to the evaluation of the Standard Selection Questionnaires received. Please submit your completed Standard Selection Questionnaire to procurement@nationalarchives.gsi.gov.uk by 5pm on March 14th, 2017.
