Nine firms and joint ventures shortlisted for design, programme, project and cost management roles
Nine firms and joint ventures have been shortlisted for two client advisory roles on the mammoth 拢6bn restoration of the Houses of Parliament.
Allies and Morrison, BDP, Foster + Partners and HOK have been shortlisted for the architectural lot, while Aecom and Mace, Capita and Gleeds, CH2M, Arcadis and Turner & Townsend have been shortlisted for programme, project and cost management services.
The client advisory contracts are expected to be awarded by the end of June 2016 and to be worth up to a combined 拢29m.
A Parliament spokesperson said the fee range for the architecture services contract was 拢10.4m-21.3m, while the other consultancy services would be between 拢4m-拢8.6m.
The shortlisted firms will now be invited to submit tenders from 16 December, with bids to be submitted by 17 February.
In June, Deloitte Real Estate, Aecom and HOK published a long-awaited report commissioned by both Houses of Parliament into potential strategic options for the renewal of the grade I-listed buildings.
The study laid out three options for the work costing between 拢4bn and 拢6bn and taking up to 30 years to complete. The consultancy trio warned major irreversible damage could be done to the palace unless significant restoration work is undertaken soon.
A 鈥渄ecision in principle鈥 is expected to be reached by members of both Houses of Parliament in spring 2016 to allow for the works to begin in 2020/21.
