Guildhall Yard East - ICT Consultant

The City, in collaboration with the City of London Police (CoLP) are undertaking a programme to modernise the police estate through a combination of new buildings and refurbishment of existing premises. For the Guildhall Yard East Project, CoLP currently occupy 4 floors of an existing City of London office building. The proposed design aims to reconfigure the existing office space into a 24/7 Joint Command Control Room, multiple educational facilities for training purposes, and office facilities for CoLP. Due to the sensitive nature of the project, only limited information can be shared with tenders at this stage. Additional site information and project briefings will be provided after the appointment.

A feasibility study was undertaken to determine the potential for accommodating a number of different police functions at that building and as a result, it was determined that a full reconfiguration of the internal layout would likely be required in order to accommodate the requirements.

Several design packages have already been progressed to RIBA 2; however, elements of this design are incomplete and there is a requirement for the appointed design team to review the existing information / design and provide appropriate advice / expertise as to what extent the current packages are progressed further to provide a complete RIBA 1 design before commencing the RIBA 2 (Concept Design) stage.

It is anticipated that the Works will be procured on a Single Stage Design & Build (DB), subject to the RIBA Stage 3 Design Information.

The estimated contract value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore £65,000.
