Firms have until 13 September to register their interest in the scheme

The contract notice says a masterplanner is required to deliver a feasibility study that researches and developes the site options, function and business model for a new museum for Birmingham.

The chosen firm will develop a brief for the development, including identifying potential locations for new-build and evaluating them against the option of repurposing an existing site. 

It will also be required to provide a package of information, including visuals, to promote the project to stakeholders and potential funders.

Interested firms should attend a briefing on 24 August at 12.30pm via Zoom with the three organisations behind the scheme. To do so, they must first register their interest at londonenquiries@focus-consultants.com

Requests to tender will then need to be submitted by 13 September.
