The tender, with tender ID BIP791454497, falls under the architectural design services category and is located in the South East region, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on July 18, 2023, and a contract period scheduled from October 2, 2023, to April 3, 2024. This opportunity, suitable for SMEs, presents a chance for businesses to secure a £70,000 contract to deliver architectural design services for STFC projects. Businesses in the architectural design industry, particularly those focusing on security, environmental sustainability, MEP, and Soft-FM aspects, are well-suited to compete in this tender. Collaboration with STFC design teams in line with the provided standards is crucial for successful contracting in this procurement process. ## Notice The Estates Department within STFC is responsible for delivering all capital projects across all STFC campuses. There is a recently updated project delivery process which sets out a standard approach to the conception and delivery of capital projects - this extends to major refurbishments. There is a set of design standards which are provided to the design team covering relevant building aspects including security, environmental sustainability, MEP, Soft-FM etc. The architectural design will bring all of these together and provide a focus for design quality as required by STFC. This suite of design standards will be issued to design teams as a contractual document and they will be expected to design in accordance with them, though a process for derogation does exist.
