## Summary

The Broads Authority is currently in the planning stage of the Acle Bridge Design Competition, an architectural tender aimed at commissioning an innovative visitor centre at Acle Bridge in the East of England, United Kingdom. The deadline for the engagement phase is set for 29 May 2018. This competition is classified under the CPV code for architectural and related services, and it includes a design brief available for interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the architectural and design sectors. Companies that specialise in sustainable building practices and modern design approaches will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. With a focus on addressing climate change and enhancing visitor facilities, this project not only promises a landmark design but also offers businesses a chance to contribute to environmentally conscious and community-oriented developments.

## Notice

The Broads Authority's ambition is to commission and build an outstanding visitor centre for its site at Acle Bridge. A landmark building is essential for this sensitive site to create a new visitor attraction for the national park and raise the profile of the area's special qualities. It will engage the public in the big issues: the importance of managing water, climate change and sea level rise, the need for sustainability to be at the heart of building in the Broads and the provision of fantastic facilities for visitors, local residents and schoolchildren. In order to promote innovation and modern, high-quality design the Authority is running an architectural competition for architects and architect-led practices for the initial concept designs. Further details are available in the design brief link.
