Design Responsibility
The package’s doors, joinery, linings, partitions, ceilings, fitted furniture and floor finishes are generally Descriptive specifications within the design team’s (Allies and Morrison and Asif Khan Studio) specifications: the design team sets the visual, functional and performance requirements, tolerances, basic setting out, typical interface details and the construction final issue drawings, and the Contractor completes the Technical Design. This includes system and component selection, detailed setting out, system construction details and shop drawings, certified data (including third-party fire assessments), and operation and maintenance information and as-built drawings. Where proprietary products are named, they are indicative only and the Contractor remains responsible for verifying their suitability.
Doorsets are to be designed to BS EN 16034 / BS EN 14351-2 as appropriate, and fire-resisting doorsets must hold valid third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, BWF-CERTIFIRE or an equivalent UKAS-accredited scheme) with test evidence for seals and glazing. Door access control is to the MEP design: the Contractor provides the door-side preparation (concealed cableways, lock cases and contacts) and TP6000 MEP provides the system. Joinery incorporating lighting, speaker or electrical provisions is to be coordinated with the MEP Contractor, with mock-ups to the final materials and finishes. Elm timber work is highly specialist and depends on the quality of the base material, so Contractor visibility of its sub-contractors and a strict mock-up and sample process are required.
Some finish systems, mainly floor, wall and paint finishes to the Conservatory, Art Gallery Foyers, Foyers and Stair 8, are Prescriptive specifications that are fully designed by the design team, with the Contractor constructing to the prescribed requirements.

- Options
- Tenderers will be asked to price the following items separately from the base package scope. They form no part of the Contractor’s scope or design responsibility unless instructed by the Employer. The items are: (i) clay paving, priced separately for supply and installation from the same batch, to allow the Employer to decide whether the paving is procured direct or through a contractor; (ii) catering equipment, where the extent of supply and installation is to be confirmed, and which may be a separate package, supplied by the client or carried as a provisional sum; and the metalwork items in the Foyers – brass skirtings (AMT-FY-301), hose reel cover plates (AMT-FY-302), new and refurbished grilles and mesh (AMT-FY-420 to 424), new and refurbished balustrades (AMT-FY-503, 505 and 506) and the refurbishment and extension of brass handrails (AMT-FY-601, 602 and 605) – priced separately as an option. The same items are scoped within the Metalwork package, and the Employer will confirm the package under which the option is instructed. Because much of the package is refurbishment of existing doors, partitions, mirrors and linings, the extent of some repairs will only be confirmed after condition surveys, so provisional sums may be used for repairs beyond the anticipated scope
