## Summary

The procurement process for the "T1002 Wivenhoe House Architectural Consultant" project, led by the University of Essex, has reached the award stage. This tender falls under the industry category of "Buildings of particular historical or architectural interest" and involves architectural and related services. Located in Colchester, United Kingdom, the contract period ran from 11th May 2023 to 17th August 2023, with an award notice published on 27th August 2024. The project's primary aim is to enhance the Wivenhoe House Hotel by relocating its reception, redeveloping its brasserie bar & restaurant, and creating an exclusive events space within the main house.

This tender signifies substantial opportunities for businesses within the architectural services sector. The enhancements proposed for Wivenhoe House Hotel will not only improve guest experiences but also create new revenue streams, offering a growth avenue for the awarded company, Purcell Architecture Ltd. Companies specialising in architectural services, particularly those with expertise in historical buildings, would find similar tenders beneficial for their business portfolios, providing them with opportunities to apply their skills in high-demand, niche markets.

## Notice

Wivenhoe House aims to improve and grow, and it is important to develop better use of the space available within its current footprint. In order to start this process, it is necessary to begin by moving the reception to a newly built extension, central to the hotel, and at the same time redeveloping the the brasserie bar & restaurant. With continued strong demand it is important that all facilities are reviewed to ensure that our customer experience remains in keeping with the 4-star luxury hotel. The current entrance to the hotel provides a poor sense of arrival and customer journey. The project will address this by moving the reception to a location more central, and will add more car parking, which is a constant cause of frustration for the hotel guests visiting to stay, dine or attend an event. The project also aims to improve on the event experience by creating an exclusive events space in the main house, which will provide a new revenue generating area with more opportunities of learning for students.
