This initiative falls within the specialty design services category and aims to enhance accessibility and engagement at one of Bristol's renowned cultural institutions. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with applications due by 5pm on 10th March 2021.

The capital works will start in June 2021 and we hope to re-open to the public in February 2022 with our 169th Annual Open. This project will undertake urgent and vital works to safeguard the future of one of Bristol's best-loved institutions, the RWA, which has been nurturing new talent and championing equal opportunities for over 160 years. One of our major aims is to make our building as accessible as possible and the works include the installation of a new external lift, changing places toilet, accessible toilet and hearing loops. There will be an enlarged cafe and for the first time a free to view exhibition in a newly created gallery on the first floor. In the lower ground floor, we will be creating a new family and community room and history gallery. Transforming first impressions will attract and enable more people to engage with our exceptional galleries, exhibitions and collections through remodelling the forecourt, opening up the facade and enhancing physical access. We now wish to instruct specialists to ensure that our external signage is engaging and creative and attracts passers-by to explore further. It must also clearly indicate that we are an Art gallery. Once inside the building, signage must be welcoming and appropriately placed so that all visitors can understand the layout of the building and get where they need to quickly and efficiently. In addition there needs to be a donor recognition panel. Applications must be submitted to nicola.prosser@rwa.org.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 10th March 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/441cd92b-237b-4b2e-a117-eaccfb46caaa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Mar 2021 - 31 Jan 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | 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 | ROYAL WEST OF ENGLAND ACADEMY | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS8 1PX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79930000 - Specialty design services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2021 at 10:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/441cd92b-237b-4b2e-a117-eaccfb46caaa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/441cd92b-237b-4b2e-a117-eaccfb46caaa 4th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/de0e0d8e-3a12-45eb-be5a-eba69e361109 ## Notice URLs - http://www.rwa.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
