This planned tender, titled "The procurement of Design Team members for the design and delivery of new and refurbished buildings in Greater Manchester," falls within the engineering services industry. The anticipated contract period starts on 20 March 2018 and concludes on 22 September 2021, with an overall project value estimated between £70 million and £100 million. The LTE Group, headquartered at Whitworth House, Ashton Old Road, Openshaw, plays a vital role in the local education sector, servicing a significant portion of Greater Manchester's learning provision. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in architectural, engineering, and construction services, particularly those experienced in urban planning and landscape architecture. Companies specialising in design and construction-related services will find this an appealing opportunity due to the projected large-scale campus developments and facilities enhancements. With the LTE Group's focus on innovation and growth through its College 2020 strategy, both larger firms and collaborative consortia could leverage their expertise in delivering high-quality educational and sports facilities, thereby enhancing their market presence in the North West region. ## Notice The Manchester College is part of the LTE group, the UK's largest social enterprise dedicated to skills and training, reinvesting our surpluses in innovation and growth. Based in Manchester, the group reflects the combined strengths and services of our four leading organisations: The Manchester College, Novus, Total People and MOL. We have around 5,000 colleagues in 100+ locations and more than 100,000 students and learners across the UK. Group turnover for 2016/17 is expected to reach PS190m. The Manchester College is one of the largest FE colleges in the UK, with 23,000 students and 1,700 staff. The College is the number one provider of 16-19, adult and higher education in Greater Manchester. More than 25% of Greater Manchester's learning provision is undertaken by The Manchester College. The College's five-year strategy - College 2020 - is a response to changes such as devolved government, the Industrial Strategy and the Northern Powerhouse. This includes probably the largest estate reshape in the sector. The project will provide high-quality learning opportunities and environments for students, staff and employers including a new campus in the heart of the city centre. In order to progress a new campus in Manchester City Centre, the Group requires the services of experienced Design Team members, including but not limited to Architect/Lead Designer, Building Services Engineer, Structural and Civil Engineer, Principal Designer, BREEAM assessor etc. Each individual service will be a direct appointment to the LTE Group via a bespoke letter of appointment. The project is to consist of a full design service which will likely comprise the design and delivery of the building either in one phase or two (broadly 16,000m2 in phase one and 12,000m2 in phase two or the combination if delivered together). The estimated value of the project in net construction terms is PS50 million to PS75 million. In addition to the new campus in the City Centre, the Group requires the services of experienced Design Team members (as noted above) under direct appointment for the design and delivery of education and sports facilities at their main campus at Openshaw, Ashton Old Road, Manchester comprising a new sports hall and associated provision, 3G pitch, new teaching facilities for public services, health and wellbeing and construction and logistics, including site clearance and co-ordination of remodelling/refurbishment of existing buildings. Estimated value of the project in net construction terms is PS20 million to PS24 million. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c615804-a164-4e2b-b5af-b4a87375dda0 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Jan 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Mar 2018 - 22 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LTE GROUP | | Locality | OPENSHAW | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M11 2WH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Clayton & Openshaw | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 71500000 - Construction-related services - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services ## Release History - 22 Dec 2017 at 14:14 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c615804-a164-4e2b-b5af-b4a87375dda0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c615804-a164-4e2b-b5af-b4a87375dda0 22nd December 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.ltegroup.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
