This tender falls under the architectural services category and is located in Shrewsbury, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 13 December 2017. The total estimated value of the contract is £500,000, with specific phases of the project allocated £1.3 million for phase 1 and £450,000 for phase 2. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the contract period is expected to commence on 18 December 2017 and conclude by 28 February 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and local businesses experienced in architectural services, particularly those with specialisations in mechanical and electrical systems, sustainable technologies, and low carbon solutions. Firms with a track record in managing projects involving historic buildings and collaborating with local authorities will find this contract particularly suited to their expertise. The project requires architects who can navigate complex phases and work alongside a Quantity Surveyor for effective project management and tender assessment. Engaging in this tender could lead to further projects with the council and enhance business growth in the region. ## Notice We are seeking an architect to progress the above as a single project through RIBA stages 3 to 6, to be priced in 2 stages as below: STAGE 1 - RIBA Stage 3 plus tender development Initially we need a set of detailed design drawings and specification for works phase 1 & 2, which will necessitate the input of a suitably qualified and experienced M & E specialist, able to advise on sustainable technologies and solutions. Following the completion of RIBA stage 3, the successful architect to draft a complete set of tender documentation for the works and assist in the tender process. The ultimate decision will remain with the client. The resultant tenders will be subject to an internal financial review to ensure that the capital costs can be met through the existing funding streams for each works phase. STAGE 2 - RIBA 4-6 Subject to a successful financial review, the architect will be retained as contract administrator for the remaining project term, including production of contract documentation, contract administration and site supervision throughout the project. The intention is to have a six month defects period. The project involves a substantial element of M & E, with a focus on renewable energy and low carbon technologies, amounting for approximately PS1.3m of the total spend of PS1.75m. It is therefore important that the appointed architect is familiar with this specialism. Furthermore, the appointed architect should have experience of historic building projects and integrating alternative technology within listed buildings. They should also have demonstrable experience of working with local authorities. The project involves two distinct areas of work which have been termed phase 1 and phase 2. To minimise disruption to the operations at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms, we intend to run both phases simultaneously and as a single project. However, each phase is subject to match funding from separate sources. To ensure clarity with internal finance teams, we are therefore asking for a fixed price fee for each RIBA stage against both phases - please see the tender response document for more detail. The total budgets for each phase are: Works Phase 1 - PS1.3m Works Phase 2 - PS450k Shropshire Council has separately procured a Quantity Surveyor who will assist with tender appraisal and assessment of contractor's claims/valuations. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55ea5d73-d2b1-4e7a-8cf9-fe2f2cf0d205 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2017 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | SHREWSBURY | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY2 6ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2017 at 13:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55ea5d73-d2b1-4e7a-8cf9-fe2f2cf0d205 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55ea5d73-d2b1-4e7a-8cf9-fe2f2cf0d205 29th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Shrewsbury:-DONV-003---Architectural-and-Contract-Administrator-Services/8229288P9F Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
