The President of KSIMC Birmingham and the Building Committee have been busy developing plans for your new Centre with their Project Team.

We are now inviting advance registration for the ‘pre-qualification’ process, which will lead to the selection of a main contractor to deliver this once-in-a-lifetime project.

The process will involve responding to a questionnaire about your organisation’s track record, expertise, capability, business structure and financial standing.

From a long list of respondents, the team will select a maximum of 4 parties to go forward and submit a tender and delivery proposals for the project. The procurement will be by means of a JCT Design Build Contract (DB 2016).

If you or your organisation would like to be considered for this prestigious commission, please register your interest now by emailing your contact details. No further details are required at this stage.
