The Royal Artillery Museum is developing a new museum on land near Larkhill Artillery Barracks, creating a modern visitor destination that showcases the history, heritage, and global contributions of the Royal Artillery (hereafter referred to as 'the Project').
The Project will:
- Create a sustainable, purpose-built museum and collection centre - rooted in Salisbury Plain, environmentally responsible by design, defined by integrity, inclusion and community connection;
- Engage new audiences, diversifying participation by age, gender and background;
- Offer new volunteering, training, and research opportunities, strengthening social value and heritage skills;
- Create new exhibitions, as well as an accessible conservation workshop, giving visitors greater access to the collection;
- Deliver flexible learning, archive and research facilities and community spaces;
- Provide secure, environmentally appropriate storage for the nationally significant collection, improving conservation and collections management;
- Enhance the local environment through landscape restoration, biodiversity planting and outdoor interpretation, linking heritage and ecology on Salisbury Plain;
- Strengthen organisational resilience, increasing earned income and volunteer capacity, reducing carbon impact;
- Support wider cultural, educational, economic and community cohesion priorities for Wiltshire and the Army.
The Project has been awarded a Development Grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Development Phase will comprise RIBA Stages 2-3 design work, along with associated planning, surveys, exhibition design, activity planning, business planning, and consultation.
The Royal Artillery Museum invites Tenders from suitably qualified and experienced Quantity Surveyors to support the Project through RIBA Stages 2-7.
There will be a break clause after RIBA Stage 3 as the next phase is dependent on a successful Delivery Phase application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
