1.9. The £2,400,000 placed in Museum budget withinthe LFBcapital programmeWas an estimate made in 2015 based on earlier plans to house the Museumwithinthe LFBHQat UnionStreet. U+lwere appointed as LFB’sprivate sector development in 2016, followinga full pan-European OJEUprocess. Four final bids were evaluated against specificrisk-based criteriaand the U+lscheme came out as a clear winner. One of the criteria this was measured on for museumfacilitiesto be fullycompliant with the LFBbrief, this is up to CategoryAstandard whichis defined inthe DevelopmentAgreement with U+land includesfloors, ceilingsand basicelectricalservices(up to this point is outside of this project).

1.10. It was only on completion of this process that the specificareas of the buildingavailablefor the new Museumwere known — the space provided by U+lwas 50 per cent largerthan the minimumspecified. It had alwaysbeen envisaged that a new home for the Museumwould make it possibleto explore new funding streams available,5uch as NationalLottery Heritage Fund. Asset out from paragraph 27 of report LFC-0265to the London Fire Commissioner,officers have developed a detailed budget in order to submit a bid.

1.11. The Museum project now has an estimated total deliverycost of £4,450,000, over a development phase between October 2019 and June 2021 (260,000) and a deliveryphase between October 2021 and Autumn2025 (4,090,000). The new Museumspace willoccupythe basement and ground floors of the western side of S Albert Embankmentincorporatingthe MemorialHalland three originalfire engine bays.

1.12. A new purpose-built home for the London FireBrigadeMuseumwillsecure the long-term future of the Museum,providinga permanent and accessiblehome to deliverits fire safety education work and a wealth of exciting,educational familyactivitiesto Lambeth and the capital as a whole.

2. Objectives and expected outcomes

2.1. The Museum’saims are: • to celebrate LFB’srich history by explainingthe majorevents which have shaped the fire and rescue servicein london; • to enhance the experience of diverse audience groups by using the collectionsfor the enjoyment of new and repeat visitors; • to protect the Collectionto make sure it is availablefor people now and in the future; and • to manage the Museum’sresourcesflexibly,efficientlyand effectively.

2.2. Withthe opportunity presented by the redevelopment of the 8 Albert Embankmentsite, the Museum finallyhas a chance to deliverthe above aims, reach its full potential and become a morevisible, important and significant player amongst London’smuseums.

2.3. Thi5willinclude activitiessuch as a significantlyexpanded programmeof events for the community and schools, accommodating up to 17,500 schoolchildrenper year across the Boroughand wider London.The Museum also providesan opportunity to hold activitiesfor communitygroups, hard-to- reach audiences and expand the Brigade’sworkwith localcharities,as wellas a new opportunity to work closelywith the MasseyShaw FireBoat EducationTrust due to the riverfront location.

2.4. Maintaininga vital linkto the current fire station, the Museumwilloffer visitorsa rare opportunity to see a fullyoperational fire station, alongside historicfire engines and other exhibits.The proposed design willenable the publicto learn about the historyof the Brigadethrough the Museum’s extensive collectionof artefacts from the Great Fireof Londonto present day and explores how the history has influenced the way the serviceworkstoday.

The feedback from this work and these events fed into the development of the successful NationalLottery Heritage Fund (NLHF)Grant bid by the Brigade.

3. Equality comments

3.1. The Public Sector Equality Duty — and the potential impacts of this decision on those with protected characteristics (age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, gender, religion or belief, sexual orientation) — has been considered by the London FireCommissionerand the Deputy Mayorfor Fireand Resilienceat the Deputy Mayor’sFireand ResilienceBoardon 12 November2019.

3.2. The PublicSector EqualityDuty (PSED)applies to the London FireCommissionerwhen they make decisions.The duty requiresthem to have regard to the need to: • Eliminateunlawfuldiscrimination,harassment and victimisationand other behaviour prohibited by the Act. In summary,the Act makes discriminationetc. on the grounds of a protected characteristic unlawful. • Advanceequality of opportunity between people who 5hare a protected characteristicand those who do not. • Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristicand those who do not includingtackling prejudiceand promoting understanding.

3.3. The protected characteristics are age, disability,gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriageand civilpartnership, race, religionor belief, sex, and sexual orientation. The Actstates that ‘marriageand civilpartnership’ is not a relevant protected characteristicfor (b) or (c) although it is relevant for (a).

4.4. LFBapplied to NLHFbefore planning permissionon 8 Albert Embankment(RAE)was granted because

the Museumis part of the Phase 1 of the overall8AEdevelopment and so could be deliveredas soon 252022. The development phase of the project is crucial,and officerswanted to make sure there was enough time to complete this in a meaningfulway by consultingwith visitorsand non—visitorsto enable the localcommunityto feed into the design process and to test and pilot activities.

4.5. The Museumcollection has been in storage since 2016 and LFRwant to minimisethe further time the collectionis not availableto the public,particularlyonce the new Museumspace is available.The early application and decision also enable the Museumto begin fundraising as soon as possible (see paragraph 4.30 —4.33).Forthe same reasons of time constraints, advance delegated authority is required to ensure the deliveryof this project within both the NLHFtimescalesand the potential timescalesof the 8 Albert Embankmentproject. An important criterionof the funding isthat the project does not start before NLHFhave given permission,which, as wellas not havingsecured the funding, is whythis procurement could not have been started sooner.

Procurement of Museum Design Team and Project Manager

4.6. Duringthe development phase of the project a number of procurement exerciseswillbe carriedout. The most significant isthe Museum DesignTeam and Project Manager,whichwas started in November2019. Thiscontract coversthe project management exhibitiondesign and fit out of the Museum,and their serviceswillbe required inthe subsequent deliveryphase to ensure continuity of service.A break clause is includedto ensure that services can be discontinued if required, commencement is contingent upon the following: • a successful DeliveryPhase funding applicationwith the National LotteryHeritage Fund; • the Commissioner’ssatisfaction with the Supplier’sperformance duringthe Development Phase; and • the Commissioner’ssatisfaction with the Supplier’sproposed approach for the Delivery Phase.

4.7. The workshave been tendered in accordance with the LondonFireCommissioner’s(LFC)Standing Orders relating to Procurement.

4.8. The preferred supplierwas selected on the basis of the most economicallyadvantageous tender. With the overallbudget for the project already being determined the financialevaluationformed only a minorpart of the selection process. Supplierswere instead asked how they were to deliverthe individualelements of the requirements withinthe specificbudget (set out inTables 1 and 2 below).

4.9. Due to the value of the Museum DesignTeam and Project Manager contract (at £2,755,420) exceeding the OJEUthreshold, an open OJEUprocurement was carriedout to ensure a competitive process, which is compliantwith the PublicContracts Regulations2015.

4.10. Where possible, the LFCaimsto utilise a GLAcollaborativeprocurement approach or procure through existing national frameworks.It should be noted this approach was considered and was deemed not suitable for this project due to the unique nature of the requirements.

4.11. A competitive open OJEUprocurement was conducted via the Bluelighttender portal and bids were sought from all relevant and capable suppliers. Procurement officersconducted checks of the mandatory informationrequired to ensure that bids were compliant priorto the start of the evaluation.

4.12. Aspart of the LFC’sStanding Ordersrelating to Procurement the LFC’sDirectorof Corporate Services has authority to approve procurement initiation,accept a tender, award and enter into a contract in accordance with existingstanding orders.

4.16. The total cost of the elements withinthe contract is£2,755,420. The budget also includesa contingency at 10 per cent of total costs. Thiscontingency is not included inthe contract which has specified levelsof cost but providesthe abilityto deliveroptional elements through the contract as the project progresses through the design process. The contingency is part of the project budget the NLHFgrant awardwas based on. A contingency of 10 per cent appliedto the contract equates to £275,580. Therefore, this Decisionseeks approvalfor expenditure of up to £3,031,000 for the servicesprovided by the contract for the Museum DesignTeam and Project Management.

4.17. In order to delivercommitmentsfor the development phase and ensure the project has access to the specificspecialistskillsand experience needed, this Decisionseeks approvalto award a single contract for the Museum DesignTeam and Project Managerfor the development and deliveryphase of the project.

4.18. There are other costs associated with the design and the deliveryof the project as set out in Appendix5 to Report LFC-0265.Together, these other costs, as wellas the Museum DesignTeam and Project Manager contract and contingency equate to the budget of £4,450,000 for the project. However,there are no other contracts within the Museum Project budget inthe development or deliveryphases, which have an estimated cost at or above £150,000.

4.19. The tender documentation did, and subsequent contract, willemphasisethe fact that although the awardof the contract willcover both the development and deliveryphases, the deliveryphase is not guaranteed and is dependent on a successfulfunding applicationand permissionto start, achieving planning approval, and LFB’ssatisfaction with the supplier’sproposalfor the deliveryphase and performance during the development phase. There are break clauses at RIBAStage 3 (NLHFRound 2 submission)to ensure that LFBcan discontinue the servicesif required.

4.20..Althoughthe deliveryphase is not guaranteed, the tasks and commitments required are currently defined enough that tenderers were able to address those requirements in their tender response and LFBevaluated both phases of the project to determine the successfultenderer.

4.21. A detailed evaluation plan addressing proposal, experience, project management plans and abilityto meet timescaleswillbe incorporated.

Sustainahilibj

4.22. LFB’sapproach to sustainable development has evolvedover the past decade with the introduction of an EnvironmentPolicyin 2004. LFBnow has a Sustainable DevelopmentStrategy 2016-2020 which sets out 45 actions across 10 objective areas to progress its sustainable development approach.
