Opportunity overview

The Estates & Capital Projects Department (ECPD) at the British Museum seeks to appoint a Building Information Management (BIM) Partner to support BIM implementation through the establishment of a Framework. The goal of the framework is to improve the use of building information through the lifecycle of the building. ECPD has identified business needs to improve its understanding of its built environment (fabric, asset and operational), improve data management and access, enhance data efficiency, and improve both its CAPEX project delivery and OPEX operational activities. A single supplier will be appointed to the Framework Agreement to ensure consistency of approach and allow the Museum the flexibility it requires to call off consultancy assistance as and when needed.

Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
Two premarket engagement exercises were undertaken, in January 2024 and February 2025. These occurred prior to the effective date for the Procurement Act 2023 as so no notices relating to these exercises were published. Any pertinent information gained in those exercises has been incorporated into the specification of this tender Those that participated were not in way involved in the development of the procurement related documents and so will not be excluded from the process
