## Summary

The University of Bath is currently seeking expressions of interest for its tender titled "Estates Consultant Framework for Architect Services - Research and Development Facilities - New builds and Refurbishments." This procurement, classified under architectural and related services, is part of the services category and involves a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure. The tender period is set to close on 19 April 2017.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for architectural practices, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant qualifications and experience in both new builds and refurbishments. Firms that can demonstrate a strong portfolio of past projects and an ability to manage varying capital budgets will be well-positioned to compete.
