The procurement stage is in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for June 28, 2024. The project falls under the industry category of Primary works for services, with a contract value of £95,000,000. The tender involves delivering temporary works, subsequent conservation, and repair work to the Victoria Tower under an NEC4 Option B contract. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in site-development work, dismantling works, construction work for art and cultural buildings, buildings of historical or architectural interest, palace construction work, and structural steelworks to compete. Businesses suited for this tender should be equipped to undertake significant repair works to the external envelope of the 325 ft tall Victoria Tower. The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and House of Lords Acting Jointly is the contracting authority overseeing this procurement process. ## Notice The Palace of Westminster, which includes Victoria Tower is an internationally important heritage asset acknowledged in its Grade I Listed designation, and inclusion in a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Westminster Abbey and St Margaret's Church. 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 Option B contract (with secondary clauses and amendments), to deliver temporary works, and subsequent conservation and repair work, to the Victoria Tower.
