The BBC is conducting a competitive procurement for the provision of Professional Property services for an External Film Lot Project within the M25 motorway. The BBC wishes to appoint a company to supply Lead Design and Architectural Services for RIBA stages D/E to L at BBC Production within the M25 motorway in England. The site is a TV production site.The project will have been previously designed to the end of RIBA stage C/D prior to the conclusion of this tender process. The successful Architect will validate the existing Architectural design prior to construction. The Architect is to coordinate the design team (and act as Lead Designer) in their day-to-day activities to ensure the delivery of a design from RIBA Stage D/E through to RIBA Stage L (inc. the issue of tender documentation and the successful construction and completion of the project through to the end of the defects liability period). The project will be procured through a two stage (PQQ and Tender) traditional procurement route on the basis of Drawings and Specifications. The construction value is in excess of GBP 15 million. Note: The successful Architect must be able to demonstrate it is able to meet all of the BBC's key requirements, but in particular the following:
1) A proven track record of sourcing specialist products needed for visual replication of the on screen elements, including reclaimed materials for project use, or refurbishment and/or specialist manufacture of individual architectural components. Obtaining samples of all, for testing and end user sign off.
2) Experience of replication, to the highest level, of the 'finish & appearance' of weathered and damaged building/structure facades and backdrops for the purposes of television production.
3) Previous relevant experience that demonstrates the ability to advise the project in general and the TV set designers in particular on best practice for the new construction, and on when to use "scenic” design & materials or traditional building materials such as reclaimed and purpose made brick.
4) An understanding of the unique detailing of period buildings in particular, their construction methodology in order to replicate as original and where to source the materials whether antique or replica, to the quality and quantity required. Explain how the ageing process takes place on a TV production lot and the constraints this places on the build programme.
