The procurement stage is an Open procedure (above threshold), with a contract value of £95,000,000. The tender period ends on 23rd August 2024. The works are related to the conservation and repair of the Victoria Tower within the Palace of Westminster in London, United Kingdom. This tender opportunity presents a substantial contract for businesses involved in construction, stonework, structural steelworks, scaffolding work, and decoration work. Companies with expertise in historical or architectural building repairs and site development work are well-suited to compete. Businesses must register on the e-tendering portal hosted by Atamis and meet specific requirements such as Non-Disclosure Agreements and Cyber Essentials certification to access the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The successful contractor will be responsible for temporary works, design development, and subsequent conservation and repair work to preserve the Grade I listed Victoria Tower. ## Notice Victoria Tower, as part of the Palace of Westminster, is a world renowned heritage asset. Acknowledged by its Grade I listed designation and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Victoria Tower is 325 ft tall and is sited above Sovereign's Gate at the south-west end of the Palace site. The Tower was originally designed as a royal entrance and a repository for the records of Parliament and is currently home to the Parliamentary Archives although these are in the process of being moved elsewhere. Significant repairs were last undertaken to Victoria Tower in the early 1990s. The building fabric has deteriorated in the intervening period, and it is now necessary to undertake repairs to the external envelope of Victoria Tower via a full-height scaffold. Parliament is exercising their duty of care to prevent future deterioration of the building fabric as custodians of this Grade I Listed asset and to maintain a safe and secure environment in and around the Palace of Westminster. This notice relates to the Contracting Authority's intention to appoint a contractor under NEC4 ECC Option B contract (with secondary clauses and amendments), to deliver temporary works, and subsequent conservation and repair work, to the Victoria Tower. The Contracting Authority will maintain design responsibility for all the fabric related design throughout the project lifecycle (with the exception of specialist Contractor's Design items which will be defined during the process). The RIBA Stage 4 design for the scaffold and associated temporary works will be developed by the Contractor who will assume overall design responsibility for these packages inclusive of piling. The Parliamentary Commercial Directorate uses an e-tendering portal (hosted by Atamis) to manage its procurement processes. Interested suppliers wishing to participate are required to complete and return a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and provide Cyber Essentials certification, prior to accessing the ITT.
