Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Historic Buildings Trust is procuring architectural, engineering and landscape design services for the restoration of the Bernat Klein Studio in Selkirk. The commission is led by a conservation architect, who will act as lead consultant, principal designer and contract administrator. The design team must include, at a minimum, a conservation-accredited structural engineer, building services engineer and landscape architect. The initial work is to prepare indicatively costed concept design proposals to RIBA Stage 2 for a building of historical or architectural interest. The requirement covers architectural design, structural engineering consultancy, and mechanical and electrical building-services design, with the work delivered at the Bernat Klein Studio, Selkirk, TD1 3PL. Scottish Historic Buildings Trust is the buyer.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers using a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. It is a single-lot requirement. Responses were due electronically by 11 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, and five candidates were to be invited to the next stage on 16 September 2026. The contract period is 3 November 2026 to 30 June 2027. The bid must be submitted in English and remain valid for 180 days. Variant bids are not allowed, and the buyer does not provide renewal or additional-purchase options. The evaluation requires a conservation-accredited architect leading the design team, with economic and technical selection information forming part of the process. Staff names and qualifications must be provided.

This opportunity suits an established multidisciplinary conservation design practice able to take responsibility across the full design-team commission. The lead organisation needs an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board and holding suitable conservation accreditation, such as recognition as a Conservation Architect or Specialist Conservation Architect on the RIBA Conservation Register. The team must bring demonstrable capability in historic-building restoration, concept design to RIBA Stage 2, structural engineering, building services, landscape architecture and contract administration. It must also have the capacity to fulfil the lead consultant and principal designer roles, coordinate named staff and qualifications, and prepare indicative cost information. Firms with integrated architectural, engineering and landscape expertise, or reliable specialist partners, are best placed to compete.
