Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria University is engaged in the procurement process for architectural design services, specifically the Lead Designer and Architectural Services for the Lipman Redevelopment project, previously known as the CHASE project. The initiative, classified under CPV code 71220000, aims to enhance the City Campus West in Newcastle upon Tyne. This contract is currently in the tender amendment stage, with notable updates made on 29 April 2026 regarding project scope and contract value, revised to £7,063,222.68 excluding VAT. The procurement is executed via an open procedure, with the intention of novating the contract to the Main Contractor at RIBA stage 4. The project has seen a series of phases, with a significant award taking place on 12 January 2024, appointing Ryder Architecture Ltd as the lead. The services include appointing various technical consultants like project managers and structural engineers to ensure successful project delivery.

This project offers substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in architectural design and planning consultancy, particularly those with prior experience on projects of similar magnitude and complexity. Companies adept at providing comprehensive design solutions, including project management and specialist engineering services, would find this tender highly suitable. Firms with expertise in sustainability, technical capacity, and cost efficiency are advantageously positioned to engage effectively in the procurement process. As Northumbria University prioritises quality and cost in its award criteria, businesses with strong track records in these areas may successfully leverage this ambition to expand their service offerings within the educational sector's infrastructural developments.
