## Summary

The procurement process for the "IWM London Masterplan Refresh" has been awarded to FOSTER + PARTNERS LIMITED by the Imperial War Museum, located in London. Categorised under architectural and related services, this direct award follows the completion status of the tender process, with the contract active as of September 24, 2025, to October 31, 2026. The procurement method chosen is a direct award due to the existing relationship and previous work done by Foster + Partners on the masterplan, which was initially delivered in 2010 with an update in 2016. This strategic refresh aims to enhance the visitor experience across the building located in Lambeth, London, with delivery addresses spread across multiple regions within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for firms like Foster + Partners that possess large-scale architectural expertise and extensive historical knowledge of the project. The procurement was rationalised under technical reasons that honours continuity in vision and applicability of existing principles, making it an ideal scenario where prior experience with IWM as an organisation and familiarity with the building's historical context and stakeholders are crucial. Businesses that specialise in comprehensive architectural redesign with the capability to manage substantial projects within central government frameworks are exceptionally well-suited to compete for similar opportunities.

## Notice

Refresh of the IWM London Masterplan, to include strategic definition and feasibility, key assessments and modelling.

### Procurement Information

Foster + Partners delivered the IWM London Masterplan in 2010, with an update in 2016, the principles of which have guided all subsequent work on the building in Lambeth. We now require a refresh of the Masterplan in order to complete the remaining ambitions and deliver a cohesive visitor experience throughout the whole building. The Foster + Partners leadership team remains the same as the original Masterplan, and therefore have acquired a deep understanding of IWM as an organisation, IWM Lambeth as a building, the surrounding park and our key stakeholders (various visitor groups, Southwark Council, local residents and park users, Historic England etc.). It's vital for the cohesiveness of the visitor offer that we continue to build on the principles of the Masterplan, and another architectural firm would not be suitable due to their lack of previous knowledge and understanding of the Masterplan, plus the time and cost it would take to attempt to acquaint them with the building and our aims as an organisation.
