PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lowland RFCA is procuring professional design services for Kirkstyle Cadet Training Centre. The requirement is for a design team to develop an existing concept design through RIBA stages 1 to 4, including the preparation of tender drawings and a complete tender pack for electronic procurement. The scope also includes the option of project management during the refurbishment phase. This is a services contract for architectural and related design work, classified under CPV 71220000. The buying organisation is Lowland RFCA, a defence-related public sector body based in Glasgow. Delivery is at Kirkstyle Cadet Training Centre. The starting concept design was produced by Avison Young, and technical due diligence information is provided as part of the tender material.

The process has reached tender: Lowland RFCA invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 4 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The evaluation and public bid opening were scheduled for 7 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC at Lowland House, Glasgow. The contract period is 180 days. The procurement has one lot covering the design and optional refurbishment-phase project management services. Bidders must submit an electronic catalogue, and variants are not allowed. Responses must be in English and remain valid until 4 December 2026. The tender includes an option for bidders to price project management during refurbishment, and electronic payment and ordering are provided for. No contract value is stated.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary architectural and building design practices able to take an established concept through RIBA stages 1 to 4 and convert it into coordinated tender drawings and procurement documentation. It is relevant to teams with experience preparing construction tender packs for public sector or refurbishment projects, and to firms that can provide project management during the works as an additional service. The requirement is likely to suit suppliers able to review and develop another consultant’s concept design, use technical due diligence findings, and manage design information through to tender. Bidders must identify the names and professional qualifications of the staff proposed for the work. A team able to work in English and submit a compliant electronic tender will be well placed to compete.
