About

National Gallery is seeking a supplier for the fit-out of a Research Centre to create a connection between the Sainsbury Wing and Wilkins Building and convert an existing space into a modern, functional research facility for staff and public use. This tender relates specifically to the Fitout Works Package (the fit-out and completion portion), with anticipated scope including installation and commissioning of all MEP systems, installation of all wall, floor and ceiling finishes, installation of joinery elements such as desks, library shelving and seating areas to form libraries and study rooms, and construction of access elements such as stairs. The contract start date is April 2026 to allow contractor involvement in taking the designs to stage 5 ahead of mobilisation and site handover, mobilisation is to be no later than 27 May 2027, and the contract completion date is an estimate to be agreed with the contractor.

Insight

This could be valuable to contractors experienced in internal fit-outs, MEP commissioning and bespoke joinery for library/study environments; bidders should plan to engage in design work up to stage 5, coordinate with the separate Structural Works Package (structural and excavation works), meet the mobilisation deadline of 27 May 2027, and accept that the final completion date will be agreed with the contractor.
