The brief

Dacorum Borough Council (DBC) has asked DH to produce a "Statement of Requirements" for the type / size of premises that would be needed for DH to be able to operate effectively in the coming years.

The future service requirements for the premises requirements will be informed by the audience engagement strategy, stakeholder consultation exercise, and collections condition review being commissioned in parallel to this Statement of Requirement procurement exercise.

It is the Trustees' opinion that major works will in due course be required to develop suitable, sustainable buildings to provide viable storage and exhibition facilities, which will enable the Trust to meet its service requirements, and to continue to provide a fit-for-purpose heritage service to Dacorum Borough Council, the Local History Societies, and the residents of Dacorum.

DBC has specified that the Statement of Requirements should be prepared on a "location neutral" basis so that the resulting deliverables are capable of being applied to any subsequent redevelopment project they propose to undertake in the Borough.

However, consideration should also be given to the option for redevelopment of the current site.

Requirements The Trustees of DH believe this work stream should cover RIBA Stages 0 and 1, resulting in the activities / deliverables identified in "Core Tasks" and "Information Exchanges" rows of the RIBA Plan of Work template 2020.

Taking account of the results of the stakeholder consultation exercise and collections condition review being commissioned in parallel, the contractor will be required to: • Prepare a statement of Client Requirements, taking account of the outcomes of the audience engagement strategy, stakeholder consultation exercise, and collections condition review. • Review Feedback from previous projects (particularly an unsuccessful bid for a museum and gallery at The Bury, Hemel Hempstead) • Undertake a Site Appraisal of the existing Museum Store location and other DBC owned locations. • Source Site Information including Site Surveys • Undertake Feasibility Studies • Develop a Business Case for feasible options, including a review of Project Risks and Project Budget • Ratify the option that best delivers Client Requirements • Prepare Project Brief including Project Outcomes and Sustainability Outcomes, Quality Aspirations and Spatial Requirements • Agree Project Budget • Prepare Project Programme • Prepare Project Execution Plan Key deliverables: • Overview report (i.e., "Statement of Requirements") for delivery to DBC summarising above. • Draft PowerPoint presentation for use by DH when delivering report.
