Barbican Renewal - PM and Contract Administration services

The provision of Project Management and Contract Administration services to deliver the first major phase of work on Barbican Renewal. Barbican Renewal is a programme of capital projects, which will enable the Barbican to realise fully its potential as the greatest cultural centre in the City of London and the UK more broadly.

These plans will deliver a site that is truly inclusive, sustainable and operationally resilient. By addressing every aspect of our listed buildings, we will ensure the Barbican is restored, revitalised and relevant for audiences now and in the future.

This contract for Project Management and Contract Administration services, will cover a series of projects that will form the first phase of the Renewal programme, which will be delivered between 2025 and 2030. This first phase of works will comprise significant upgrade, restoration and improvement works to the main Foyers, Lakeside, Conservatory and Sculpture Court, a programme of improvements to the Centre’s central MEP infrastructure systems and delivery of a new wayfinding strategy.

For the infrastructure elements of the programme the Provider (main contractor) has been engaged under a TAC-1 contract. The Project Manager / Contract Administrator will act as Alliance Manager (equivalent to a contract administrator under TAC-1 terminology) on behalf of the client.

The PM/ CA shall be appointed under a separate Appointment with the Client rather than as a party to the TAC-1 Contract with the Client and Provider. The legal terms for the Appointment are set out in the procurement documents.
