## Summary

The University of Bath is currently inviting expressions of interest for the "Estates Consultant Framework for Architect Services" aimed at delivering architect services for new builds and refurbishments, particularly within academic, teaching, and research spaces. This tender falls under architectural and related services (CPV 71200000) and employs a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The tender period closes on 19 April 2017, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 1 June 2017 and continue until 31 May 2021. The services will primarily be needed in the South West region of the UK, with project values ranging from £50,000 to £35 million (excluding VAT and fees) depending on the nature of the work.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for architectural practices, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in substantial projects that can contribute to their growth. Businesses specialising in architectural services, particularly those with a track record in academic-related projects or similar works, will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Given the historical expenditure of around £50 million per annum by the University on capital construction, there is ample opportunity for successful bidders to secure ongoing contracts within this framework.

## Notice

Expressions of interest are invited from suitably qualified and experienced Architectural Practices and a standard selection questionnaire (SSQ) is available for completion on line. Architectural services under this framework may include retainers as small as PS50k capital value and up to PS35 million (excluding VAT and fees) for new build, PS30 million for refurbishments. During the term of the framework the maximum capital value will increase in line with construction inflation. Based on previous figures, capital construction works to the order of PS50 million (total average) per annum were undertaken at the University as a whole, over the last 5 years.
