Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council intends to appoint a consultant to support a programme of repair, refurbishment and improvement works at Johnstone Bandstand in Houstoun Square, Johnstone. The commission covers lead consultancy, conservation-accredited architectural services and the Principal Designer role. The appointed consultant will be expected to provide and coordinate a design team including a quantity surveyor, structural engineer and mechanical and electrical engineer. This is a professional construction and heritage consultancy service, classified under CPV 71220000 for architectural design services. The work will be delivered at Johnstone Bandstand, Houstoun Square, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, with the stated site postcode PA5 8DT. Renfrewshire Council is the public-sector buyer.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The procurement has been republished following a review of the project and procurement requirements, including updated insurance requirements and specification details. The council’s planned next notice date is 20 July 2026, which is an indicative publication expectation rather than a deadline for suppliers. The expected arrangement is a single planned lot covering the consultancy and design-team services. The council has set out a planned procurement rather than a live competition, so suppliers should use this stage to prepare for the later tender and review the updated requirements when issued.

The work is likely to suit architectural and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies with experience of conservation, heritage structures and public-sector refurbishment projects. The lead consultant must be suitably qualified, experienced and competent, and must hold conservation accreditation to RIAS standard or an equivalent standard. A capable delivery team will need to cover architectural design, quantity surveying, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, and Principal Designer responsibilities. Firms that can assemble or manage these disciplines under one coordinated service will be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. Experience of repairing and improving existing historic public buildings, managing design risks and working within revised insurance requirements will help suppliers prepare for the eventual competition.
