How to win: Barbican Renewal Programme - MEP Programme

About this contract

This is a strip-out and renewal package across the whole MEP — Barbican Renewal Programme, not new-build construction. The works comprise the removal of existing, life-expired MEP infrastructure and installation of new plant, distribution and containment across multiple basement plant levels and public floors of a large, live, publicly operated arts venue (comprising a concert hall, cinemas, art galleries, conservatory, library, function rooms and car parks). The successful contractor will be required to work around continued public operation of the Centre, including phased access, full 12-month closure period from end June 2028, isolation and shutdown of live building services, and interfacing with retained plant and systems, across every work area.
