Currently in the planning stage, this tender aims to secure an experienced firm capable of delivering innovative and high-quality student residences. Key milestones include a supplier event on 11 December 2017, where prospective bidders can register to attend and learn more about the opportunity. The initial goal is to accommodate around 3,000 students, with expectations of project delivery culminating in operational readiness by autumn 2021. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in accommodation management and development, particularly those with experience in urban redevelopment and managing large-scale projects. Businesses well-suited to compete may include developers, architects, and facilities management companies looking to engage in public-private partnerships. The potential strategic partnering agreement could also facilitate long-term growth prospects, as the University anticipates additional development work in line with increasing student enrolment over the next decade. ## Notice The University is seeking to procure an experienced student accommodation development partner for the commercial delivery of the University's new campus: the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus ("TQEC") in the vicinity of Bristol Temple Meads railway station. The University intends to contract with the development partner pursuant to a strategic partnering agreement, which it anticipates in addition to the initial residences project, would grant an exclusive right in relation to a number of other projects within a prescribed area around TQEC. Additionally, given that the student numbers of the University are set to increase to c. 28,000 by 2024/25, the University anticipates that the strategic partnering agreement may also put in place a non-exclusive agreement to work as an on-going development partner for the future student accommodation and other building requirements to meet the University's growth requirements over an initial term of 5 years, but which may be extended by a further 5 years at the University's election. A supplier event will be held at the Engine Shed, Station Approach, Bristol BS1 6QH on Monday 11 December from 10am - 5pm. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to attend and must register to do so. The event will include a presentation from the University in the morning and the opportunity for individual sessions to ask questions in the afternoon. A maximum of two delegates from each organisation are permitted to attend. Please respond to the email address below to register to attend the supplier event. Further details will be provided upon registration: procurement-office@bristol.ac.uk Additional information: The University is working towards the TQEC being operational in autumn 2021. The University is looking for a partner to bring vision, innovation and add value across the whole TQEC project, drawing on a wide range of previous experience, including developing brownfield inner city sites.
