The Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority is planning to start collecting views from firms that may be interested in bidding the project.
This will include a briefing pack and questionnaire as well as briefing session via Microsoft Teams set to be held on 19 August 2021.
The Palace of Westminster R&R Programme is the biggest heritage restoration project ever undertaken in the UK and could cost up to £12bn.
