## Summary

The City of London Corporation is overseeing the Barbican Renewal Construction Management procurement process, aiming to revitalise the renowned Grade II listed Barbican Arts Centre through a series of infrastructure and aesthetic enhancements. The procurement, currently in the tender stage, is scheduled to commence in July 2026 and may extend until February 2031, encompassing both pre-construction and construction phases. With an anticipated contract value of approximately £4 million annually, this process is executed through a Competitive Flexible Procedure, which involves two stages: Invitation to Participate and Invitation to Tender. Business users interested in this opportunity must submit their expression of interest by 2nd April 2026 and can make enquiries until 23rd March 2026. The initiative is under active planning to meet the City’s Net Zero Carbon targets while ensuring the site remains operational throughout the project's duration.

This tender offers significant business growth prospects for firms specialising in complex construction management within heritage environments. Ideal candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in logistical management and stakeholder engagement, and experience in managing phased works within constrained settings, such as the Barbican's live arts and cultural environment. Firms will be particularly well-suited if they possess capabilities in construction management services aligned with carbon reduction and social value initiatives. SMEs with robust credentials in technical, economic, and responsible procurement practices are encouraged to apply, promising an extensive window for industry engagement and innovation in preserving one of London's iconic architectural treasures. The opportunity offers direct coordination with the City of London and key stakeholders, facilitating a collaborative approach to the programme’s multi-faceted project outcomes.

## Notice

The City of London Corporation (the City) invites Tenders for the provision of Barbican renewal programme, Construction Management Services. The Barbican Centre, which is a department of the City of London (CoL) Corporation, is seeking to appoint a Construction Manager (CM) to deliver Construction Management services for the Barbican Renewal Programme (BRP). The appointment will commence in June 2026 and extend through to March 2030, with an estimated fee value of c. PS4m against a total construction cost of approximately PS176m. The CM will be appointed directly by the CoL and will act as the client's principal delivery partner, responsible for managing and coordinating a series of trade contractors engaged under separate contract with the CoL. The Barbican Centre is a Grade II listed arts centre of international significance, situated within the wider Barbican Estate in the City of London. The Renewal Programme encompasses a broad and concurrent series of improvement, repair, and upgrade works across the Barbican Arts Centre (BAC), requiring careful sequencing and coordination to minimise disruption to visitors, building users, venue operations and nearby residents . The CM will be required to operate within a live, occupied environment subject to significant heritage and conservation constraints, and to manage multiple workstreams progressing simultaneously across different areas. The Programme demands a high degree of logistical rigour, stakeholder sensitivity, and programme control; and the appointed CM will be expected to demonstrate commensurate experience in the delivery of complex, phased works within similarly constrained settings. The scope of the CM appointment spans both pre-construction and construction phases. During the pre-construction phase, the CM will be responsible for developing and maintaining the master construction programme, advising on procurement strategy, and leading the procurement of trade contractor packages in conjunction with the existing Project Team of G&T, Greenway Associates, Allies & Morrison, Asif Khan Studio, Buro Happold and others. The CM will also be required to assist in the submission and determination of a BSA Gateway 2 application, due to BAC recently being classified as a Higher-Risk Building (HRB). During the construction phase, the CM will assume responsibility for the coordination and management of all trade contractors on site, overall site logistics, and the integration of individual package programmes into a coherent and deliverable whole. The CM will maintain a proactive interface with the Project Team on all matters relating to cost reporting and change management and will hold principal responsibility for health and safety management across the site. Throughout the appointment, the CM will be required to lead and coordinate stakeholder and resident engagement activity as it relates to construction operations, working closely with Barbican Renewal, BAC, CoL and other key stakeholders to ensure that communication is managed effectively. The duration of the contract is 44 months, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 12 months. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 56 months.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Renewal: The contract may require modification in the event of project overrun to ensure continuation of service and technical expertise is retained from the cost consultant (for example to provide additional goods, services or works).
