A tender two step

Spring, M.

A tender two step - 1988 - Building 253(7550) 3 June 1988, 40-44(5) .

Describes the fast-track construction of the Royal Mint Court development in London . The project combines two new office blocks with refurbishment of the Georgian mint building. The site has been identified as the location of an important medieval abbey and monastery with plague pits in the environs. The most important medieval excavations will be retained in the central courtyard. Of particular interest is the fact that this fast-track project is being developed using a traditional lump-sum contract. The key to this unusual combination has been the choice of a two-stage tendering system.
