Delivery authority for restoration of Palace of Westminster to appoint legal adviser on planning and consents

The Restoration & Renewal Delivery Authority, which was established in 2020 for the purpose of restoring the Grade I listed Palace of Westminster, is seeking to appoint a provider of specialist legal services in the field of legal planning and consents.

The Palace of Westminster Restoration and Renewal Programme is the biggest heritage restoration project ever undertaken in the UK.

The delivery authority said it intends to invite five candidates to tender for the contract and to appoint a single supplier.

The term of the contract will be for an initial term of 5 years (60 months) although the delivery authority reserves the right to extend the term of the contract for up to a further 2 years (24 months) to make a maximum possible term of 7 years (84 months).
