Tender: Planning Communications Consultant for British Museum Western Range Redevelopment – Bloomsbury, London

About

The British Museum is seeking a Planning Communications Consultant to provide specialist, project-specific expertise to develop and deliver coordinated communications services for Town and Country Planning matters for the Western Range programme across pre-application, planning submission, determination and, if instructed, post-determination stages. The Western Range is a substantial, heritage-led redevelopment of about 15,000m2 (circa 15% of the Bloomsbury site) comprising 10 interlinked buildings added to the Grade I listed Museum, currently at the end of RIBA Stage 2 with Lina Ghotmeh Architecture as lead designer; it includes around 7,500m2 of gallery space (housing Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece including the Parthenon Sculptures, Rome, Ancient Assyria and the Middle East) and about 4,500m2 of back-of-house collection storage. Delivery will require careful planning within a live, operational museum environment and must address heritage constraints, constrained site conditions, restricted access, neighbouring property interfaces, complex logistics and coordination of multiple stakeholders. Interested suppliers must sign a non-negotiable confidentiality agreement (request via [email protected]) to receive the full tender documents.
