## Summary

The Loughborough Bellfoundry Trust (LBT) is currently seeking a Design Team for the project titled "Saving the Last Major Bellfoundry in Britain." This procurement process is in the Tender stage, with the tender period closing on 10 April 2019. Located in Loughborough, England, the project focuses on architectural and design services in the heritage sector as part of a larger initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The procurement is being conducted as an open procedure in compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and successful applicants will begin work upon the contract start date of 8 May 2019, extending through to 29 July 2022.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for architectural firms and design teams, particularly those with accreditation from recognised organisations such as RIBA or SCA and expertise in conservation practices. Businesses that specialise in heritage restoration, architectural services, or have a track record of delivering heritage-related projects will find this procurement particularly relevant. The tender encourages SMEs to participate, allowing them to enhance their portfolios while contributing to a significant cultural restoration project.

## Notice

In 2018 the Loughborough Bellfoundry Trust (LBT) received a Round One pass from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (HF) for a project to restore the John Taylor Bellfoundry. The project is now in its Development Phase where proposals will be advanced before a Round Two application is submitted to the HF in June 2020. As part of this, the LBT is seeking to procure a comprehensive architect led Design Team to provide design services in relation to the restoration of the John Taylor Bellfoundry. The Design Team must include a RIBA (SCA) or AABC or equivalent accredited architect in a leading role. It would also be preferable for sub-consultants to be members of professionally recognised conservation accreditation schemes. The appointment will commence with completing the latter part of RIBA Work Stage 0 through to the completion of RIBA Work Stage 7. The appointment will be in two phases: 1) HF Development Phase: Which will be the completion of RIBA Work Stages 0-3 and extend up to the HFannouncing the outcome of the project's Round Two application. Assuming a successful outcome and subject to a review by LBT, the Design Team will have an opportunity to continue to the second phase, the HF Delivery Phase. 2) HF Delivery Phase: Which will be the completion of RIBA Work Stages 4-7 and the successful delivery of the project. If the HF Round 2 application is unsuccessful or there is an unsatisfactory consultancy review after the Development Phase the appointment will be terminated. The LBT is not a public body and therefore not itself subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR2015). The terms of the grant funding which will be used for this project oblige the LBT to run any procurement to which the funding relates in accordance with the PCR 2015. The procurement for the design team is therefore being run in accordance with the PCR 2015 as an open procedure. LBT is seeking to contract with a single service provider. This entity should have responsibility for ensuring all services are provided in accordance with the contract terms either by sub-contracting arrangements or otherwise. The procurement documents including details of how to submit a tender can be requested by emailing procurement@inghampinnock.com The LBT reserves the right to reject any tender and/or to abort the ITT process at any time and/or not to award the contract to any prospective supplier without incurring any liability to the affected suppliers in accordance with the terms of the ITT and the PCR 2015.
