## Summary

The Royal Institute of British Architects is overseeing the 'Gladstone's Living Heritage Project', an Invited Design Competition focused on architectural and related services. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 10th April 2018. This project, valued at £350,000, aims to redevelop a Grade I listed building and its surroundings in Wales, United Kingdom, with the contract period starting from 30th July 2018 and concluding on 7th March 2022. The procurement method used is a selective or restricted procedure, given its value above the threshold.

This unique tender presents significant opportunities for architect-led teams and businesses with exceptional design skills seeking to expand in the heritage and conservation sector. Companies that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find themselves particularly well-suited to compete for this project. As the initiative requires both innovative designs and respect for historical elements, firms with expertise in architectural refurbishment and sustainable design practices will have a competitive edge.
