Scottish Museums seeks bids

The National Museums of Scotland is seeking a management contractor for the construction of a new wing of the Royal Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street, Edinburgh.

The job was previously advertised as a traditional JCT 80 style contract with contractors' design supplement.

The contract covers the construction of frame, shell and core of the extension, as well as installation of exhibits and commissioning of services. Coordination of completion of finishes with the installation of exhibits is of particular importance. Project management is by the Edinburgh office of Turner and Townsend Project Management.
