## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which initiated an open tender for the provision of a Master Planning Design Team under the title "NU/1524 Provision of Master Planning Design Team for CAV." This project falls within the architectural design services industry category and is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. The contract value is £450,000, with a minimum value of £260,000. The contract period started on 15th January 2020 and will conclude on 28th August 2020. The earlier tender period ended on 18th October 2019, indicating that the procurement process is now complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and planning services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive master planning solutions that involve stakeholder engagement and zoning analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have expertise in design, urban planning, and community engagement would be well-placed to compete for similar future contracts. The complexities of the project, which include various site ownerships and requirements from multiple stakeholders, suggest a need for innovative approaches and collaboration amongst firms aiming to expand their portfolios in public sector projects.

## Notice

A master planner is to be appointed by Newcastle University to prepare the masterplan and obtain outline planning permission for the site. The masterplan will, through stakeholder engagement and working with the business development consultant (to be appointed by a separate procurement exercise), generate zoning and indicative space requirements for the proposed clusters. These are: Newcastle University Academic Zone, Discovery Crucible, Spectrum of Independence, Integrated Health Hub (NHS), NHS Walk In Centre (existing), residential/commercial zone. The appointed design team will need to develop a masterplan for the full site taking into account the various site ownerships and stakeholder requirements. The service is for the development of the master plan.
