This initiative falls under the services category, specifically architectural design services, and is positioned in the London region. The procurement is currently in the Planning stage, with an open status under a selective procurement method, indicating an award under an existing framework. An update to this tender was published on June 1, 2026, deciding that the procurement will be handled via the Cabinet Office’s CCS DPS Construction Professional Services framework RM6242, using a PCR15 procedure. The expected contract period commences on March 1, 2027, and is slated to conclude on February 28, 2033.

Notice Title

Health Security Campus - Pillar 2E: Design Partner (Main Site)

Notice Description

Update: Since publication it has been decided that the most advantageous route to market will be to procure this requirement via the CCS DPS Construction Professional Services RM6242. As a result this requirement will be going via a PCR15 procedure. 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. While the specialist CL4 facility (H50) is being designed under Pillar 2D, the 2E Design Partner is responsible for the wider estate--covering laboratories, office accommodation, shared facilities, campus utilities, infrastructure, and supporting buildings across the main site. This requirement sits under the Pillar 2 Construction Professional Services framework and covers Work Package 2E, which includes detailed architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) design services for all non?CL4 buildings and campus systems. Under Work Package 2E, the Design Partner will produce technical drawings, BIM models, specifications, engineering designs, and coordinated design deliverables required to progress the main site components of the programme through assurance, gateway reviews, planning stages, procurement, and delivery. 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.
