The tender, designated "RBGE 2021 110," falls under the services category, with a closing date for submissions set for 17th February 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for broader participation. Interested parties must submit electronic responses, and the contract duration is anticipated to span 36 months, starting from the award date. The project is situated in Edinburgh, Scotland, and aligns with the education sector. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly specialized architectural firms engaged in designing interiors for art galleries within historically sensitive environments. Companies with demonstrated experience in refurbishing domestic or repurposed buildings to enhance functional and aesthetic aspects while maintaining historical integrity would be particularly well-suited to compete. With a competitive bidding range observed between £47,000 and £76,000, this project not only promises potential growth avenues for SMEs but also encourages a diverse array of bids from both local and international entities. ## Notice RBGE wishes to appoint a Specialist Museum and Exhibition Gallery Architect to partner with us as we establish design solutions to sensitively refurbish and upgrade our key Creative Programmes venue, Inverleith House, at our garden in Edinburgh. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The house was refurbished in 1990 and again in 2004, with support from the National Lottery achieved much-needed upgrades and some access improvements. The house has since suffered while trying to accommodate the programmes' ambition, differed maintenance, flooding, and outdated systems and infrastructure not fit for exhibitions with loans that require government indemnity. The work will consist of supporting all RIBA stages over a multi-year contract to begin with an initial consultation and concept phases to inform future budget planning and to be programmed into the future down time that the venue rarely achieves. The contract duration will be 36 Months in total from commencement. RBGE is looking for Specialist Architects who have experience design interiors of art gallery spaces in a refurbished domestic building or repurposed building that demonstrates a sensitivity to detail that merges modern functionality with appropriate restraint for the building's heritage.
