## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is planning the "Paisley Museum Re-Imagined Project," which seeks to appoint a Multi-Disciplinary Design Team for the design of an extension, refurbishment, and redesign of the Grade A-listed Paisley Museum complex. The contract is valued at £2 million and falls under the services category within the public services industry. Key milestones include a communication notice on 27th November 2017, following an initiation on 20th November 2017, with the project ultimately designed to transform visitor experiences at this historic site located in Paisley, Scotland.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for architectural and design firms, particularly those with experience in heritage projects, public service facilities, and environmentally responsive design. Businesses that specialise in multidisciplinary collaboration, including architectural, engineering, and project management services, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The involvement of bidders with expertise in managing complex renovations and delivering contemporary visitor services will be essential as the project aims to enhance the museum's accessibility and appeal on both a local and international scale.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The procurement is for an (architect-led) Multidisciplinary Design Team for the GBP 42 million extension, renovation and refurbishment of Paisley Museum. The aim of Paisley Museum Re-Imagined is to provide a visitor experience of international quality, which tells the inspirational stories of Paisley, its heritage and its pattern. The transformation of the Paisley Museum is underpinned by a series of high-level strategic project aims that will turn it into a: - Leading European museum - telling the story of Paisley as a pattern and a town. - Visitor destination drawing its audience from Scotland, UK and overseas. - Platforming institution for learning, skills development, innovation and research. - Community resource at the heart of Paisley's local life. The Council will make four appointments at this time: 1.Multidisciplinary Design Team (MDDT) 2.Exhibition Designers 3.Project Managers 4.Quantity Surveyors The architect-led Multidisciplinary Design Team (MDDT) will deliver the following services (detailed in the Scope of Service) from RIBA Stage 2 to 6: -Architect (lead consultant) -Structural Engineer -Building Services Engineer -Principal Designer -Contract Administrator -Landscape Architect -Conservation Architect The project represents an exciting opportunity to alter and extend a fine neo-Classical building to respond to a unique collection, history and to deliver a fully 21st century facility that places the visitor at its heart. The MDDT will be responsible for designing a High Street-facing extension to deliver a bold new cafe, shop and reception, to resolve the current building's problematic vertical circulation, remove accretions and reinstate public areas, renew the services and refurbish the buildings. The refurbished and extended Museum cannot be a modest municipal makeover and will have to punch above its weight in order to attract from further afield whilst maintaining a sense of ownership for the local communities, and to do justice to Paisley's radical reputation. The Council's intended approach is to use the restricted procedure to procure a form of an SBCC (2011) standard form with quantities, for subsequent procurement of three main contracts for project delivery: 1.Enabling Works 2.Main Contractor 3.Exhibition Works The Council is issuing this PIN to update the market and allow them to prepare for the tender. Please refer to section VI.3 Additional Information for details on the proposed procurement programme, noting that this is provisional and subject to change. The project has been awarded a first round pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards an overall grant of GBP 4.9 million and will be subject to a second round application in 2019.
