Principal Contractor: Events

Descriptions

Parliament maintains a variety of contingency options which can be deployed in the event of a disruption to part or all of the Parliamentary Estate. These contingency options ensure the continuity of parliamentary business with a primary focus on maintaining critical, high-level business activities. Various options exist which provide flexibility to respond to a range of scenarios. The plans identify venues where Parliament could be re- located to ensure that the business of Parliament can be carried out without interruption and with minimum disturbance to Members, Peers, their staff, staff of both Houses and visitors to the estate. As part of any future contract the successful bidder will be required to carry out the build in any venue as required across the UK. The Client will be responsible for the hire of the venue prior to an activation or planned rehearsal of the build. The successful bidder should be aware and acknowledge that the plans may not be activated for real during the life of this contact. The Authority will require the successful bidder to undertake a number of activities within the delivery of the contract, but not limited to the following activities: 1) Validation of existing designs and associated build schedules 2) Storage and Logistics 3) Potential rehearsals of build with existing Parliamentary supply chains 4) Ongoing contract management 5) Set up and ongoing management of arrangements to allow real life activation of options at little or short notice.
