## Summary

The City of London Corporation is currently inviting tenders for the position of Acoustic Consultant for the Centre for Music project, which falls within the sound insulation and room acoustics consultancy services category. This procurement process is at the tender stage, with applications closing on 19 June 2017. The project is set to be delivered using Building Information Modelling (BIM) Level 2 and is planned to extend over a period of 9.5 years from the start of the contract on 7 August 2017, potentially culminating in completion by 8 February 2027. The estimated budget for the completion of the concept design is £50,000, excluding VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in acoustic consultancy and BIM-related services. Companies with expertise in sound insulation and a proven approach to integrating collaborative designs are particularly well-suited to apply. The process not only encourages small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete but also emphasises the need for rigorous probity checks, thus enabling reputable firms to secure meaningful contracts within a project that is susceptible to organised crime group infiltration.

## Notice

You are invited to tender for the provision of Acoustic Consultant services for the project. The project shall be delivered using BIM (Building Information Modeling) Level 2 and the adoption of Government Soft Landings. BIM will help to provide efficiency, reduce errors and provide access to reliable and integrated information for decision making, design, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance. This can only be successfully achieved through the integration and collaboration of all members of the project team, the use of a defined and structured approach, such as that described in PAS 1192, and a whole-life approach to the project. The estimated duration of the programme to completion of RIBA Stage 6 is 9.5 years. (The contract length is dependent on the time table for the availability of the site). A further period of 36 months is estimated for performance evaluation during post occupation Soft Landings. These durations are subject to the right of the Contracting Authority (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to vary the contract. Notwithstanding the above, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to terminate the contract on completion of design Stage 2 (B pursuant to condition 18 of the Consultant's Appointment. The budget for completion of concept design sufficient for the preparation of the business case in December 2018, stage 2 (C),shall be PS50,000 excluding VAT. The Authority has identified that the scope of this procurement falls within a business sector which may be attractive to infiltration by organised crime groups. The Authority therefore reserves the right to include enhanced probity checks / requirements at both the selection and award stages of the procurement. This may include, but not be limited to, verification that a supplier, or any person with powers of representation, decision or control therein, has not infringed the mandatory grounds for exclusion set out in Regulation 57 (1) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
