Opportunity overview

Kirklees Council is embarking on the development of a new Museum and Art Gallery in Huddersfield, a flagship component of 'Our Cultural Heart' (OCH) a transformative town centre regeneration programme supported by significant capital investment. The broader construction initiative, currently entering RIBA Stage 4, will see the extension and full refurbishment of the 1937 Central Library & Art Gallery building, reimagined as the future Museum & Art Gallery of Huddersfield. As part of its ambitions under the 'Our Cultural Heart' (OCH) programme Home, Kirklees Council is seeking market feedback as part of its preparations for a procurement opportunity to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced organisation to deliver the design and fit out of the exhibition and gallery spaces within the new Huddersfield Museum & Art Gallery. The Vision for the Museum & Art Gallery is set out in the Pre-Market Engagement document available on the YORtender portal. To support the progression of the procurement, the Council would like to gain information from the market related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to provide feedback on the proposed approach and to support the Council further in understanding market appetite.
