## Description

Bath & North East Somerset Council are looking for a main contractor to develop exciting plans for a major heritage project to convert buildings in York Street and Swallow Street into a Roman Baths Learning Centre and World Heritage Centre, transforming the visitor experience at the Baths and dramatically improving the site's learning offer\. It will also involve creating public access to in-situ Roman remains and an archaeological 'investigation zone' for learning groups of all ages\. These improvements will allow local people and visitors to Bath to learn about and experience the Roman, Georgian and Victorian heritage of Bath in exciting new ways\. The Archway Project takes its name from the stone arch that spans York Street which used to carry water from the Victorian spa to its laundry across the road\. All the buildings in which the centre will be housed are already owned by Bath & North East Somerset Council that manages the Roman Baths\. Please refer to the Standard Selection Questionnaire \(SQQ\) for full details
