Description

The City of London Corporation is the governing body of the City of London, the historic centre of London and home to much of the UK's financial sector - the "Square Mile". The Corporation is probably the world's oldest continuously elected democracy and predates Parliament. The City, in collaboration with City of London Police (COLP) are undertaking a programme to modernise the police estate through a combination of new buildings and refurbishment of existing premises. CoLP currently occupy 4 floors of an existing City of London office building. A feasibility study was undertaken to determine the potential for accommodating a number of different police functions at that building and as a result it was determined that a full reconfiguration of the internal layout would likely be required in order to accommodate the requirements. Several design packages have already been progressed to RIBA 2, however elements of this design are incomplete and there is requirement for the appointed design team to review the existing information / design and provide appropriate advice / expertise as to what extent the current packages are progressed further to provide a complete RIBA 2 design before commencing the RIBA 3 (Detailed Design) stage. All Individuals working on this project are required to have received their Non-Police Personal Vetting level 3 and Security Clearance or be in the process of obtaining the vetting from Warwickshire Police
