OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) is procuring a conservation architecture-led design team for the restoration of Bernat Klein Studio in Selkirk. The lead architect will act as Lead Consultant, Principal Designer and Contract Administrator. The team must include, at a minimum, a conservation-accredited structural engineer, building services engineer and landscape architect. The initial commission is to develop indicatively costed concept design proposals to RIBA Stage 2. This is a professional architectural and engineering services opportunity, classified under CPV 71221000 for architectural services. The work will be delivered at Bernat Klein Studio, Selkirk, for SHBT’s programme to conserve at-risk historic buildings in Scotland.

The process reached tender: SHBT invited offers using a selective restricted procedure, with electronic submission. The response deadline set by the buyer was 11 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Five candidates were to be invited to the second stage, with invitations scheduled for 16 September 2026. The contract period is 3 November 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender requires English-language submissions, valid for 180 days, and does not allow variants. Evaluation includes a suitability requirement that the team is led by a conservation-accredited architect. In the UK, this means an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board and holding appropriate conservation accreditation, such as Conservation Architect or Specialist Conservation Architect status on the RIBA Conservation Register.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary heritage and building-conservation practices able to assemble and lead an integrated design team. The core capability is conservation architecture, with the lead architect responsible for consultancy leadership, principal designer duties and contract administration. Competitors also need access to a conservation-accredited structural engineer, building services engineer and landscape architect. The team should be able to produce concept designs at RIBA Stage 2 and support them with indicative cost information. The requirement is particularly relevant to firms with experience restoring historic or at-risk buildings, coordinating architectural, structural, building-services and landscape inputs, and meeting UK professional registration and conservation-accreditation expectations.
