Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council plans to appoint an architect to lead a design team and act as Principal Designer for the second phase of repairs to the Steeple Buildings in Kilbarchan, within Renfrewshire. The works will reconfigure and repair the building’s interior and deliver any required external repairs. This is a professional architectural and construction project management service, focused on the repair and adaptation of an existing building. The appointed consultant will coordinate the design team and take responsibility for the Principal Designer role as the repair project is developed and delivered. The requirement is for one planned service package covering the Steeple Buildings Phase 2 repairs.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Renfrewshire Council has stated its intention to procure the service, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The council expects to release a Contract Notice on 18 August 2026, followed immediately by the tender package. The planned procurement is a single-lot service contract and is a re-tender of the earlier Steeple Building Phase 2 Project Manager requirement. The expected approach is an open competitive tender covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The planned work is for Renfrewshire, with Kilbarchan identified as the project location. No contract value, budget, contract duration or award criteria are stated at this planning stage.

The requirement is likely to suit architectural practices with conservation accreditation and experience of leading multidisciplinary design teams for repairs to existing or historic buildings. Suppliers should be prepared to provide the professional leadership needed to coordinate design work, manage the project’s architectural input and fulfil the statutory Principal Designer role. Relevant capability includes developing proposals for internal reconfiguration, diagnosing and specifying building repairs, and coordinating any external repair works. Practices with suitable conservation credentials, architectural delivery capacity and competent Principal Designer expertise should use the planning period to review their availability, team structure and approach to collaborative project management before the requirement reaches the market.
