This tender is at the planning stage, with submissions due by 29 July 2017. The project involves the construction of a second phase campus, which is planned to commence operations in October 2017 and continue through to August 2030. This opportunity lies within the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry, and the successful applicant will be required to finance and construct the new campus, occupying land already identified by TECOM. This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms and project management companies looking to expand their portfolio in educational infrastructure. Businesses specialised in non-residential real estate development, commercial property management, and construction works will find this project particularly relevant. The growth of student capacity from an initial 250-300 to 4,500 over seven years underscores the long-term investment potential and the requirement for experienced partners capable of delivering large-scale construction projects in a dynamic environment. ## Notice The University of Birmingham will establish a campus in Dubai, within the Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) free-zone. In depth market research has been conducted and has identified a significant gap in the market for an institution of our calibre. We have been working closely with Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Agency (KHDA) over the last year and have already been granted approval to deliver a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Plans are in place to open Phase 1 of the campus, using a refurbished building within the existing DIAC structure, which will open in late 2017, with teaching programmes commencing in September 2018 for an initial cohort of 250-300 students. The intention is to grow student numbers within the Phase 1 building up to 600, before moving into our own purpose-built Phase 2 campus in 2020. The Phase 2 campus will allow us to grow at a greater pace by adding additional degree programmes, with a rapid ramp up to 4,500 by year 7. In order to deliver Phase 2 - the full campus in Dubai - the University is seeking a collaborator. The successful organisation will finance and build the phase 2 campus, acquiring the already identified land from TECOM, building the campus itself and providing a long term leasehold arrangement for the University to take up occupation.
