## Summary

The University of the Creative Arts is planning a tender for the design of a new Business School for the Creative Industries at its Epsom Campus. This project, classified under the CPV code 71000000 for architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, is budgeted between £8,000,000 and £12,000,000. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a selective procurement method anticipated. Key dates in the process include the issuance of an Open Selection Questionnaire in mid-April and a design competition scheduled for May 2018. The successful architect will need to complete a full planning application by the end of 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural and design services, particularly those with experience in education sector developments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, given the university's acknowledgement of their eligibility. With capped funding available for expenses related to the design competition, this is an excellent chance for innovative firms to showcase their capabilities and contribute to an impactful educational facility.

## Notice

The University of the Creative Arts at Epsom is proposing to create a new Business School for the Creative Industries at Epsom Campus, and requires full design Team capabilities for the design (up to RIBA Outline Plan Stage of Work- Stage 4), excluding project management and quantity surveying services. The design will include the provision of teaching and learning space, social and catering space and administration space and will include a new covered quadrangle linking back into a number of existing buildings. An Open SQ will be issued via our InTend eProcurement Portal to suppliers in mid-April. This stage will be used to create a shortlist of architects to take through to the ITT. As part of the ITT, the shortlisted candidates will be required to submit to a design competition due to be held in May 2018. The University has agreed to provide capped funding for reasonable expenses incurred in preparing for the competition. Following the evaluation of the designs submitted, a final selection will take place at the end of May 2018. The awarded architect will be required to develop their design to a full planning application by the end of the 2018. To register your interest in this project please contact Katie Watson at procurement@uca.ac.uk
