Summary of the contracting process

Lowland RFCA commissioned design services for Kirkstyle Cadet Training Centre. The work is to develop an existing concept design through RIBA stages 1 to 4, then prepare tender drawings and a tender package for the refurbishment. The brief also includes project management during the refurbishment phase as an additional service. This is architectural and building design work (CPV 71220000), with project management as a related capability. The delivery location is in the UKM82 area of Scotland; the procurement data does not provide a named town or site address. Lowland RFCA is the buying organisation. The concept design was originally produced by Avison Young, which was also selected for the new design services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Avison Young (UK) Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 16 October 2026, at a value of £68,005. The contract period is 180 days. The buyer used an open procedure, with a single lot covering the design work and optional project management through refurbishment. Submissions were due by 4 September 2026, with evaluation scheduled to begin on 7 September. Six bids were received, including two from SMEs. Tenderers had to provide staff names and qualifications; variants were not allowed. The published data does not state the award date or the evaluation weighting, so the outcome is reported here with the available contract and process information.

For firms considering similar future work for Lowland RFCA, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up design team able to take an existing concept through RIBA stages 1 to 4 and produce a complete tender drawing and documentation package for refurbishment. The buyer also valued the option of project management during the refurbishment, so capability to carry design work through into delivery would strengthen a competing offer. Credible suppliers should be able to name the staff assigned to the work and demonstrate the qualifications needed for the design and management services. The competition attracted six bids, including two from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was competed among multiple suppliers and was accessible to smaller firms as well as larger practices.}
