Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking an architect-led multidisciplinary design team for building improvement work in Scotland. The commission covers feasibility studies, option appraisal and concept design up to and including RIBA Stage 2+, to address identified building deficiencies, support operational requirements and inform possible future investment. The team will develop and test design solutions based on the full project brief, supported by appropriate surveys, assessments and costed design proposals. This is a professional architectural and engineering design consultancy service, including architectural services and construction-related consultancy. The buying organisation is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow. The work is delivered under a single lot and is intended for firms able to provide coordinated architectural, surveying, engineering and related project design expertise.

The process reached tender: the Scottish Police Authority invited offers through a single-stage open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline and public bid opening were set for 17 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is planned to run for 360 days, with award evaluation scheduled to begin at the submission deadline. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 70% for quality and 30% for price. Tenderers must provide staff names and qualifications. Selection includes professional suitability, economic and financial standing assessed through a CreditSafe report, and technical quality-control and health-and-safety requirements. The contract supports electronic payment and ordering, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits an established multidisciplinary consultancy able to lead architectural design while coordinating surveying, civil or structural engineering, building services, energy and project-management expertise. The required professional coverage includes RICS and ICE, ACE or IStructE; CIBSE, IET or the Energy Institute; RIBA; and APM or CIOB membership. Teams should be able to undertake feasibility, option appraisal, surveys, technical assessments, operational analysis and costed design proposals through RIBA Stage 2+. The buyer requires evidence of sound quality management and health-and-safety arrangements. Suppliers can meet these requirements through relevant UKAS-equivalent certification, such as ISO 9001 and BS OHSAS 18001, or suitable documented policies; recent SSIP membership may also support the health-and-safety requirement. Financially sound organisations with reliable company records are well placed to compete.
