This procurement, classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, is set in England and aims to support the delivery of up to 36 new housing schemes over the next four years. The tender period concluded on 11 March 2021, and the contract is anticipated to commence on 1 August 2021, lasting until 1 August 2025. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure, with the framework designed to cater to various schemes primarily concentrated in the London and South East regions, as well as the North and South West areas. This framework presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the architecture and construction sector to engage in a considerable number of housing projects. Businesses specialising in architectural services, particularly those experienced with large-scale developments (between 25 to 500 units), would be well-positioned to compete. The framework is structured into three regional lots, allowing successful bidders to potentially collaborate on multiple projects, thus enhancing their business portfolio and fostering growth in the competitive housing market. ## Notice Guinness through its subsidiaries, Guinness Development Ltd and Guinness Homes Ltd (amongst other subsidiaries), commenced a build programme aiming to deliver 5,500 new homes by 2024. We are committed to building safe, high quality, well designed homes where people want to live. Using our financial strength, experience and scale, we are building new homes and communities across the country at a range of price points and tenures - from private sale to social rent. Progress is being made and to support the delivery of the programme Guinness and its subsidiaries wish to establish a Framework for Architect services. This will support the delivery of a significant programme of new build schemes over the term of the framework. Guinness estimates this programme could mean up to 36 individual schemes commencing over the next four year period. The future programme is expected to focus on larger 25 to 500 unit schemes though it may include some smaller schemes as required. Guinness gives no guarantee on the volume of work allocated through the framework. The framework is split into three regional lots and it is anticipated that up to three suppliers will be appointed to each lot. Approximately 50% of spend for new schemes is most likely to be in the London and South East, with 30% in the North and 20% in the South West Regions.
