This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 13 January 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 3 April 2017 and conclude by 1 October 2020. The estimated cost for this project is around £40 million, classified under the category of architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, using a restricted procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for architectural firms, particularly those with experience in designing performance venues and ensuring high-quality acoustic standards. Businesses suitable for this project may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in architectural design, engineering, and project management. The successful design team will not only contribute to a landmark cultural facility but may also establish long-term relationships with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Edinburgh International Festival, fostering ongoing business growth. ## Notice The International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust, a registered charity, number SC046904, and known as IMPACT Scotland, is planning a new Medium-sized concert hall (approx. 1000 seats) in the heart of Edinburgh's World Heritage Site. It will be home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and used as a venue by the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF). As a venue, worthy of calling home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, it must have an acoustic to rival any other classical venue in the world. It must also be robust enough to adapt to and serve the many and varied performers at the EIF and attract visiting performing art groups, both local and international. The total estimated cost of the new concert hall is currently c.GBP40m.IMPACT Scotland is seeking to appoint a design team to provide a full scope of design services corresponding to RIBA stages 1-7. This procurement is not a competition to identify and deliver that design, rather to identify and appoint a design team. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/071ba926-8292-4176-8ddc-c7c815b297f8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2017 - 1 Oct 2020 | | 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 | INTERNATIONAL MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS CHARITABLE TRUST, A REGISTERED CHARITY HAVING CHARITY NUMBER SC046904 | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH7 5AB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 12 Dec 2016 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/071ba926-8292-4176-8ddc-c7c815b297f8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/071ba926-8292-4176-8ddc-c7c815b297f8 12th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC135973 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.colander.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
