    "description": "Imperial War Museums (\"IWM\") invites tenders from suitably qualified contractors to undertake the Design \u0026 Build of a new Fire Engine Shed at IWM Duxford, adjacent to the existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower. The facility will serve as a modern operational hub for fire response, equipment storage, and personnel readiness. The design must be utilitarian and robust, with low maintenance requirements, while incorporating heritage-style features and a colour palette that complements surrounding historic buildings. The structure will be compact yet fully functional, delivering cost-effective value in line with public sector expectations.\nThe shed must not obstruct sightlines from the Visual Control Room, nor exceed the height or footprint of the ATC Tower. A physical separation between the new building and the tower is required for operational and fire safety compliance.\nInternally, the shed will house three fire vehicles with appropriate spacing, automatic emergency doors, exhaust extraction, and durable flooring. It will also include storage for fire PPE, relocated washing machines, breathing apparatus equipment, and other essential services.\nSupport facilities will comprise a breathing apparatus room with water supply, workbench, and extraction systems; decontamination showers with changing areas and lockers; a changing room with heating, filtration, and drying provisions; and a washing machine room with drying space and ventilation. A watch room will provide CCTV coverage of movement areas.\nExternal works will include a floodlit vehicle access zone, direct links to taxiways, security measures such as bollards and optional CCTV, and appropriate drainage systems. Access improvements and lighting upgrades are also planned.\nConstruction is scheduled to begin in January 2026, with completion targeted for July 2026. Contractors must adhere to strict airside safety protocols, maintain a clean site, and address environmental factors. \nThe design must ensure no visual obstruction, match the ATC tower\u2019s dimensions, and support future operational upgrades, including CAT 7 compliance.\nAccess Code : 43Q8JP8P9B\nTo view this notice, please click here: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=1004593960",
