Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking an architect-led multidisciplinary design team for construction consultancy services. The commission covers feasibility studies, option appraisal and concept design up to and including RIBA Stage 2+. The team will develop and test solutions addressing building deficiencies, support operational requirements and inform potential future investment decisions. The work includes appropriate surveys, assessments, recommendations and costed design proposals, following the professional services scope in the tender documents. Architectural design and building architectural services are included. The work is for delivery in Scotland, with the Authority acting as buyer and commissioning organisation.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 17 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time; evaluation and public bid opening were scheduled from that time. The contract period is 360 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and price for 30%. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. The tender does not allow variants or include renewal or additional-purchase options. Electronic ordering and payment apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits an architect-led team able to combine building design with engineering, surveying, cost and project management capability. The stated suitability requirements call for relevant professional representation including RICS and RIBA, plus engineering coverage through ICE, ACE or IStructE; building-services expertise through CIBSE, IET or the Energy Institute; and project management through APM or CIOB. The team must provide staff names and qualifications and demonstrate proportionate quality-management and health-and-safety arrangements. Acceptable evidence includes relevant accredited certification or documented policies. Suppliers should also be prepared for financial-standing checks, employment-status, Living Wage, equality and diversity, data-protection and subcontractor requirements.
