## About this tender

The City of London Corporation (the City) has invited Tenders for the provision of Barbican renewal programme, Construction Management Services.

The Barbican Centre, which is a department of the City of London (CoL) Corporation, is seeking to appoint a Construction Manager (CM) to deliver Construction Management services for the Barbican Renewal Programme (BRP).

The appointment will commence in June 2026 and extend through to March 2030, with an estimated fee value of c. £4m against a total construction cost of approximately £176m. The CM will be appointed directly by the CoL and will act as the client's principal delivery partner, responsible for managing and coordinating a series of trade contractors engaged under separate contract with the CoL.

The Barbican Centre is a Grade II listed arts centre of international significance, situated within the wider Barbican Estate in the City of London. The Renewal Programme encompasses a broad and concurrent series of improvement, repair, and upgrade works across the Barbican Arts Centre (BAC), requiring careful sequencing and coordination to minimise disruption to visitors, building users, venue operations and nearby residents .

The CM will be required to operate within a live, occupied environment subject to significant heritage and conservation constraints, and to manage multiple workstreams progressing simultaneously across different areas. The Programme demands a high degree of logistical rigour, stakeholder sensitivity, and programme control; and the appointed CM will be expected to demonstrate commensurate experience in the delivery of complex, phased works within similarly constrained settings.

The scope of the CM appointment spans both pre-construction and construction phases. During the pre-construction phase, the CM will be responsible for developing and maintaining the master construction programme, advising on procurement strategy, and leading the procurement of trade contractor packages in conjunction with the existing Project Team of G&T, Greenway Associates, Allies & Morrison, Asif Khan Studio, Buro Happold and others.

The CM will also be required to assist in the submission and determination of a BSA Gateway 2 application, due to BAC recently being classified as a Higher-Risk Building (HRB).

During the construction phase, the CM will assume responsibility for the coordination and management of all trade contractors on site, overall site logistics, and the integration of individual package programmes into a coherent and deliverable whole.

The CM will maintain a proactive interface with the Project Team on all matters relating to cost reporting and change management and will hold principal responsibility for health and safety management across the site. Throughout the appointment, the CM will be required to lead and coordinate stakeholder and resident engagement activity as it relates to construction operations, working closely with Barbican Renewal, BAC, CoL and other key stakeholders to ensure that communication is managed effectively.

The duration of the contract is 44 months, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 12 months. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 56 months.
