Description

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is a grade II* listed museum with a world class Natural History, Anthropology
and Musical instrument collection. Set within 16 acres of stunning grounds that also house an Aquarium, Animal
Walk and Butterfly House. The Horniman connects us all with global cultures and the natural environment,
encouraging us to shape a positive future for the world we all share
The projects are funded by a capital grant from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the Horniman
must spend the money prior to the end of the 22/23 financial year in March 2023.
The Horniman wishes to appoint a suitably qualified consultant for the fire stopping remediation project. This project
is to be broken into two parts. A and B.
Stage 'A' will involve the procurement and appointment of a suitably qualified fire safety specialist consultant (the
consultant must be a chartered fire engineer, accredited with a suitable institution). A series of surveys (some may
be intrusive) across our sites and the development of a fire strategy and report with prioritised recommendations.
The consultant will determine an outline specification and assist the project manager and QS with the creation of a
pricing schedule and site drawings for tender issue, to be issued as an open tender for contractors to price as a cost
plus tender.
Stage 'B' will involve the procurement of a contractor to undertake a 'find and fix' fire stopping and remediation
contract on a cost plus basis according to the compartmentation outlined in the fire strategy put together by the
consultant as per stage A and with the input of the museums specialist consultants as necessary. Listed building
consent, if needed, will be applied for by our consultant architect once the completion of stage 'A' and will run
concurrently with the procurement of stage 'B'.
