Notice Description

The Design Partner (DP) for Pillar 2E will provide multi?disciplinary design services for the main site buildings and wider campus infrastructure within the UKHSA Health Security Campus programme.

This includes designing building layouts, services systems, structural solutions, site infrastructure, utilities connections, and integrating these with the overall campus masterplan. They will work closely with the Project Delivery Partner (2A), Design Assurance Partner (2C), the H50 Design Partner (2D), and the Tier 1 Contractor to ensure all main site designs are fully coordinated, compliant, buildable, and technically integrated with the specialist facilities. The 2E Design Partner will also support technical reviews, respond to design changes, and provide design updates throughout remobilisation and full delivery. Overall, the Design Partner will ensure that the wider Health Security Campus is designed to modern scientific, operational, safety, and regulatory standards, providing the essential design capability required for successful programme delivery.
