## Summary

The University of Cumbria has initiated a procurement process for the Citadels Project. This project aims to create a new campus in Carlisle, involving design and build works for both existing heritage buildings and new structures. The procurement method is a Competitive Dialogue process, with a selective approach. The tender period ends on June 24, 2024, and the contract period spans from January 6, 2025, to March 31, 2027. The project falls under the main procurement category of works and is classified as construction work. The procurement is being led by the University of Cumbria in collaboration with Cumberland Council.

Businesses in the construction industry can explore growth opportunities by participating in this tender for the Citadels Project. The nature of the project, focusing on the refurbishment of heritage buildings and new construction, would be suitable for contractors experienced in similar works. The project location is in the North West region of the UK, specifically in Carlisle. As a Competitive Dialogue process, bidders are expected to provide innovative solutions for the project requirements. The University of Cumbria, as the buying organisation, is looking for contractors to deliver a campus that will serve as its headquarters, providing a unique opportunity for businesses to showcase their expertise in construction and design.

## Notice
