Description

V&A South Kensington is seeking to appoint a Main Contractor for the extensive refurbishment of the Fashion Gallery. The overall aim of this project is to redesign and fit out the permanent gallery, reclaiming display space by removing the current mezzanine, temporary exhibition area, and shop. The project will restore the architectural splendour of the iconic Octagon Gallery, transforming it into a world-class venue for housing our fashion collections and staging associated programming. The works will be tendered in two stages to enable timely removal of the mezzanine floor and related services; completion of the consultant team design packages; contractor design portions for preparatory works and scaffold installation (all deemed to be Initial Works) to progress onto the Continuing Works phase.
