Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Ltd has initiated a tender for an "Architect Services Framework" aimed at supporting a substantial housing development programme, which seeks to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024. This programme is classified under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry and will encompass three regional lots: North, South (including London and the South East), and South West. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the framework having been divided into these lots to distribute opportunities for participation among up to three suppliers per lot. The deadline for submission was 11th March 2021.

This tender provides a significant growth opportunity for architectural firms, particularly those positioned to handle large-scale housing projects. Businesses with expertise in collaborative designs and the capacity to undertake projects ranging from 25 to 500 units will find this framework particularly appealing. Suppliers that can demonstrate strong qualifications, experience, and a commitment to social value will be well-suited to compete for the contracts available under each regional lot. The majority of the spend is expected in the London and South East region, making it an attractive prospect for firms located in these areas.

Notice Title

Architect Services Framework

Notice Description

Guinness through its subsidiaries, Guinness Development Ltd and Guinness Homes Ltd (amongst other subsidiaries), commenced a build programme aiming to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024. We are committed to building safe, high quality, well designed homes where people want to live. Using our financial strength, experience and scale, we are building new homes and communities across the country at a range of price points and tenures - from private sale to social rent. Progress is being made and to support the delivery of the programme Guinness and its subsidiaries wish to establish a Framework for Architect services. This will support the delivery of a significant programme of new build schemes over the term of the framework. Guinness estimates this programme could mean up to 36 individual schemes commencing over the next four year period. The future programme is expected to focus on larger 25 to 500 unit schemes though it may include some smaller schemes as required. Guinness gives no guarantee on the volume of work allocated through the framework. The framework is split into three regional lots and it is anticipated that up to three suppliers will be appointed to each lot. Approximately 50% of spend for new schemes is most likely to be in the London and South East, with 30% in the North and 20% in the South West Regions.
