This opportunity is classified under research and development services, with a total contract value of £32,000 and a minimum value of £28,000. The procurement is currently in the open tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 21 February 2020. The project is based in Swindon, United Kingdom, and aims to provide detailed guidance on architectural designs that conform to specified requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy and design services, particularly those with expertise in historic preservation or urban planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project explicitly invites a diverse range of suppliers to express their interest. By capitalising on this opportunity, businesses can contribute to a vital initiative while potentially expanding their market presence in the public contracting sphere. ## Notice Design Codes are planning tools which provide detailed advice and guidance in the design of new development. The Codes, are prescriptive in that they describe 'design requirements' (sometimes referred to as 'rules') that development should adhere too. This ranges from general guidance - how buildings should connect to streetscapes and roadways, and open space provision, for example - through to requirements for built form, i.e. the scale and form of buildings that are permitted as well as the materials used. The over-arching aim of this project is to understand how the historic environment has been reflected in Design Codes, drawing conclusions from examples of good and bad practice, and to develop a Design Code for the historic environment.
