This tender, categorised under architectural and related services, is located in the South East of England. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to conclude on 10 January 2022. The contract will commence on 17 January 2022 and is expected to run until 30 June 2022, allowing significant engagement with various design phases. This opportunity presents a substantial avenue for growth, particularly for architecture firms and consultancy service providers interested in public sector projects. With the focus on modern facilities and affordable housing within a community redevelopment, businesses with experience in urban design, community engagement, and construction consultancy would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender process. The potential for a fixed-fee contract based on staged deliverables also offers SMEs a clear framework to engage competitively. ## Notice Sevenoaks District Council is seeking to appoint an Architect and Principal Designer to bring forward a new high quality development on the Spitals Cross Estate, Edenbridge. The Architect will be the lead designer and will be required to be the Project lead of the wider Consultant team. The community buildings currently occupying the site are at the end of their economic life and require substantial refurbishment. SDC are maximising the opportunity to redevelop the hall and its facilities and to replace the shop with modern premises and to provide new housing, including affordable homes. The sale of the residential accommodation would provide capital receipts to pay for these improvements. A feasibility study has been undertaken which reviewed several options with a preferred option selected from a viability and planning perspective. This commission seeks to appoint an architect-led design team to further develop the preferred option to prepare and submit a planning application and to ultimately see through the delivery of the development. The appointment of the Architect and Principal Designer will be for RIBA work stages 2 to 7. A fixed price fee submission is requested for all stages, broken down by stage. SDC will issue instructions to proceed on a staged basis as it wishes to reserve the right to break the commission at the conclusion of each stage. This Architect will be expected to attend all Design Team Meetings, Monthly Construction Meetings and make an allowance for other meetings as considered appropriate. The Architect may or may not be novated to the contractor, this will be determined during the tendering period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dca0aece-403b-4aae-95df-3874896d43f1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jan 2022 - 30 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | SEVENOAKS, KENT | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN13 1HG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ46 West Kent | | Local authority | Sevenoaks | | Electoral ward | Sevenoaks Town and St John's | | Westminster constituency | Sevenoaks | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2021 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dca0aece-403b-4aae-95df-3874896d43f1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dca0aece-403b-4aae-95df-3874896d43f1 14th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC163327 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.sevenoaks.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
