Construction project management services

Tender description

The V&A is looking for an exciting and ambitious project manager to manage the transformation of the V&A Museum of Childhood (“MoC”). This project sits within the broader context of our FuturePlan, an ambitious programme of development in which the best contemporary designers are creating exciting new galleries and visitor facilities, while revealing and restoring the beauty of our original buildings. The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art, design and performance, promoting the practice of design and increasing knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the designed world. The MoC is the UK’s National Museum of Childhood, and the largest institution of its kind in the world. As part of the V&A estate, the mission of the MoC is to explore art, design and performance through the material culture of childhood and to hold in trust the nation’s childhood collections. The procurement process will follow the open procedure. For more information, please download and review the procurement documentation. The MoC collection comprises over 35 000 objects ranging from the 16th century to the present day. It has a broad reach, covering all aspects of childhood and is unparalleled in the rich diversity of its media. The collection is displayed in a listed ironwork structure which formed the original V&A museum before its relocation, and an exceptional example of Victorian engineering. We are currently in the process of appointing a base-build design team and are on programme to confirm the winning team in mid-February 2018. We are now looking for a construction project manager to join the MoC project team for the base build phase of the programme, with the option to appoint for management of the fit-out phase.
