## Summary

The International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT Scotland) is overseeing a procurement process for architectural design services aimed at creating a new concert hall in Edinburgh, with an estimated budget of £5 million. This project is in the Award stage, following the completion of a selective tender using a restricted procedure. The contract period begins on 8th May 2017 and is scheduled to end on 30th December 2018. Edinburgh, located within the broader context of Scotland's World Heritage Site, will serve as the venue for prestigious performances, notably by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and during the Edinburgh International Festival.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in architectural, construction, and engineering services, particularly those with experience in designing large-scale performance venues. Businesses, especially SMEs, equipped to meet the rigorous acoustic and aesthetic standards required for such a high-profile project will find this tender particularly aligned with their capabilities. The successful design team will not only contribute to a landmark cultural investment but could also establish a long-term relationship with a key institutional client in the performing arts sector.

## Notice

The International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT Scotland, registered charity number SC046904), is planning a new Medium-sized concert hall (approx.1,000 seats) in the heart of Edinburgh's World Heritage Site. It will be home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and used as venue by the Edinburgh International Festival. It must have an acoustic to rival any other classical venue in the world and must be robust enough to adapt to and serve the many and assorted performers at the Edinburgh International Festival and attract visiting performing arts groups, both local and international. The total estimated cost of the new concert hall is currently c.40m GBP.IMPACT Scotland is seeking to appoint a design team to provide a full scope of design services corresponding to RIBA Stages 1-7. The current procurement is not a competition to identify and deliver that design, rather it is a competition to identify and appoint a design team.
