Summary of the contracting process

The contract for the redesign and refurbishment of Building NINE at Edinburgh BioQuarter, led by Scottish Enterprise, has now reached the awarding stage. Scottish Enterprise is the buying organisation, focusing on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services within the UKM region. This procurement, carried out as an open procedure, began with the tender phase offering this project to global bidders. Turner & Townsend Project Management Ltd has been successfully awarded part of the contract for Project Stage 1 under the award status, demonstrating its ongoing activity in the sector. The contract is anticipated to commence around September 2024, with an initial duration of 48 months, and an optional extension of a further six months. The estimated value of the contract ranges from GBP340,000 to GBP500,000, excluding VAT.

Businesses specialising in architectural design services and project management stand to benefit significantly from this tender. The opportunity to work alongside Scottish Enterprise presents a valuable chance for growth through engagement with high-value public contracts. The contract's requirements for membership or accreditation with RIBA or RICS encourage participation from skilled firms prepared to meet stringent criteria. Suitable contenders should be capable of delivering prompt payment, innovative methodologies, and sustainable practices, thus aligning with procurement themes such as Fair Work and Net Zero. Companies with a robust project team structure and a focus on detail will be well-suited to compete for future related contracts procured separately, as the procurement process stipulates subcontracting tasks and demands precise execution throughout. This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses seeking to enhance their portfolio in significant architectural and refurbishment projects, particularly those with capabilities in lab and office space configuration.
