## Notice

This is a contract award notice for the provision of building services infrastructure works at the Barbican Arts Centre. The aim of the Barbican Renewal programme is to renew the Barbican Art Centre building and infrastructure so that it continues to meet the needs of 21st century artists, audiences, and communities. Reflecting the Barbican's organisational purpose to be a creative catalyst for arts, curiosity and enterprise, this investment programme in the Grade II listed complex will celebrate the Barbican's vision and design heritage, while responding to the creative opportunities and challenges of the future. The Barbican Renewal programme aims to deliver a leading example of sensitive and sustainable conservation and retrofit for one of the UK's most significant post war buildings, with the aim of: * Repairing the Barbican building to ensure it can continue to function long into the future, through an urgent programme of replacement and upgrade of key building systems * Better connecting the Barbican as a place for everyone by re-connecting the Centre to its surroundings.
