## Summary

The University of Reading has awarded a contract titled "TVSP - Cost Consultant" as part of their ongoing feasibility studies for potential development opportunities south of the M4. This procurement process, classified under services with a focus on project and design preparation and cost estimation, involved an open tender method. The contract period commenced on 28 March 2022 and will conclude on 28 March 2024. The total award value is £200,000, with key delivery to occur at the Reading campus, RG6 6AB, in the South East of England. The award was published on 27 May 2022, with the previous tender period ending on 25 February 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms skilled in cost consultancy and project management, particularly those who can offer flexibility in their services to accommodate varying scales of projects. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the relevant industries, especially those with expertise in planning consents and project estimation, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities that may arise from this ongoing work by the University of Reading.

## Notice

As part of the University's on-going feasibility studies into potential development opportunities South of the M4, specialist input is now needed to assist the Commercial, Strategic Estates and Programme Management Teams in reviewing and developing those opportunities as they arise. This is likely to be a flexible role on a call off basis as part of a Core Team of key consultants under the Programme Management Office. Its aim being to rapidly mobilise support consultants as studies / workstreams arise. Works will vary from small standalone studies ending between RIBA Stage 0 and 2, to more detailed input needed to deliver simple site works, to larger commissions such as input into Local Plan Promotions and securing of Outline Planning consents. The chosen consultant will be expected to be able to service all commissions, regardless of scale, in a timely manner.
