The tender, titled "West Wing: New Auditorium & Public Space, Somerset House, London", falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category (CPV code: 71000000). This procurement process, which employs a selective method through a restricted procedure, is in the tender stage. Interested parties have until 9 September 2019 to submit their bids, with the contract planned to start on 31 January 2020 and continue until 31 January 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in design, construction, and engineering, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio through high-profile projects. Companies with experience in developing public spaces or auditoriums, as well as those that can demonstrate innovative design capabilities, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could enhance their visibility and reputation within the creative and cultural sectors in London. ## Notice Somerset House (SH) is London's Working Arts Centre. We offer a groundbreaking arts and entertainment programme, and are a home to the UK's largest creative community. SH is acknowledged to be one of the finest and largest public buildings of the C18th; being one of the most accomplished Palladian buildings in England. It is a Grade I listed complex.Somerset House Trust (SHT) wish to enhance part of its estate in between the West and New Wings to improve its cultural public offer, strengthen its identity as a hub for artists and creative enterprise and create a new public space that follows the route of a now lost historical connection from the Strand towards the river (West Street). Aside from the external courtyard area, SH does not have any facilities for large performances and gatherings of more than 200 people at a time. SHT is therefore seeking to identify and appoint a design team for a new 1,600 m2 auditorium and public space, known as 'West Street'. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c528354-f0fc-4e82-85eb-0d7256bbc7e8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2020 - 31 Jan 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | SOMERSET HOUSE TRUST (SHT) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2R 1LA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 25 Jul 2019 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c528354-f0fc-4e82-85eb-0d7256bbc7e8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c528354-f0fc-4e82-85eb-0d7256bbc7e8 25th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL157768 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - https://www.colander.co.uk/architectural-competitions/colander-competitions/somerset-house-london ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
