The SCC is a four storey Victorian building built as a school. The classrooms and halls are now the storage locations for the majority of the Horniman museum's collection. As such it is an extremely sensitive environment and all reasonable measures should be taken to mitigate against damage or disturbance to the collection from water, dust, debris, vibration, accidental damage or theft. Due to the nature of the collection it is not possible to substantially relocate objects out of the works areas, therefore the successful contractor will be required to work sensitively and with care around the stored collection. The site is a fully operational, occupied and staffed museum object storage facility. As such extreme care is required when working within the building, the site will remain fully operational throughout the works. The asbestos types identified for removal or encapsulation are in the form of asbestos lagging around pipework, asbestos insulating board panels to internal windows and doors amongst other situations. There are live building services throughout the site that need to be worked around, including the fire alarm and intruder alarm systems which must not be compromised at any point by the works. Tendering contractors should note that fire alarm cabling work will be occurring concurrently with the asbestos removal project, and that clear communication regarding areas out of bounds and access restrictions to all other users of the site will be key to success. The effective management of health and safety, security risks and programme risks is considered key for the successful delivery of these works. With all work to be completed before the 31st March 2023. Details of how to tender are set out in the invitation to tender.
