C&C joins Transformational Project at Tate Modern

C&C HAS been successful in their tender for the extensive new catering facilities at the iconic Tate Modern on London's South Bank.

After successfully completing what Project Director Paul Parry described as "the most rigorous tender process he has been involved in during his 30 years in the industry" C&C will begin work in the next few weeks and will be on site until mid-2015.

C&C were originally approached in mid-2013 and began the in depth pre-qualification process. They were then asked to tender alongside all of the other successful applicants and following six separate meetings to discuss their tender, were shortlisted for the project. After a final round of interviews with their entire project team, they were ultimately successful in their bid.

C&C will be working together with main contractors MACE and design consultants SHW, with whom they completed the award winning Café Royal scheme in 2012.

The works encompass new facilities for the public including:

  • A unique shop fitted cafe on Level 2 and coffee bar on Level 3
  • A restaurant on Level 8
  • Private members dining facilities on Level 9
  • A fine dining restaurant on Level 10 and a bar area on Level 11.

The Tate Modern's extension comes after the huge success the Gallery has enjoyed in recent years. This success has put such pressure on the space available that as explained by their Director, Sir Nicholas Serota on their website, the Tate simply had to expand in order to keep its unique place in the world.
