### Lot Information

Lot 1

The British Museum is unique in bringing together under one roof the cultures of the world, spanning continents and ocean. No other museum is responsible for collections of the same depth and breadth, beauty and significance. Its eight million objects allow us to explore the extraordinary diversity of human cultures, from small communities to vast empires, to discover the many forms and expressions human beings have given to every aspect of life, and to realise how closely they are connected. While the Museum's Bloomsbury estate is as well-known and loved as much as many of the great artefacts the building contains, the Museum's engineering systems and infrastructure have been adapted and developed piecemeal over time to meet the evolving needs of the Museum. This has resulted in a highly complex and uncoordinated building services strategy across the estate, and in some areas the systems and infrastructure are outdated and at risk of failure. There is also limited resilience and flexibility and no common route for the major heating and power distribution. The SWEC project is a major infrastructure project that is designed to improve energy supply and generation, rationalise services distribution, and provide resilience for the Bloomsbury estate. The project is also a key enabler which will support ongoing asset and infrastructure renewal and the emerging aspirations of the Museum's masterplan. The appointed consultant will be required to provide the following services for RIBA Stage 3 onwards: * Mechanical and electrical engineering * Public health engineering * Fire engineering * Lift engineering * Lighting engineering * Energy management consulting * Acoustics engineering * Security systems engineering * BREEAM assessment consulting * Environmental modelling In addition to the above, the appointed consultant will also be required to fulfil the following roles: * Lead Consultant * Lead Designer * Principal Designer (as defined in CDM 2015) * Design Management * Lead Appointed Party (as defined in ISO 19650) An estimated total value of PS1,250,000 has been given at II.1.5 and II.2.6 in this notice. This is the mid-point of the range of PS1,000,000 to PS1,500,000 which is the project team's best estimate of the likely value of this contract based on the information currently available.
