This procurement process involves the creation of new buildings to support an Innovation District in Glasgow. The project aims to foster collaboration between various stakeholders and enhance Scotland's innovation ecosystem. The tender is currently at the planning stage, offering business opportunities for construction companies interested in sustainable building practices. Key deadlines and lot structures have been established to guide the procurement process. This tender presents an opportunity for construction firms with expertise in building construction and innovative sustainable design to compete for contracts. The University of Strathclyde, as the buying organisation, seeks to engage with businesses capable of delivering high-quality, environmentally conscious construction projects. By participating in this competitive procedure with negotiation, businesses can showcase their technical capabilities and bid for the lots specified by the University. The tender process includes rigorous selection criteria to ensure that qualified bidders are invited to the subsequent stages of the procurement process. ## Notice The TIC Zone Development project occupies a key role in cultivating and nurturing Scotland's innovation community, helping bring together researchers, academic administrators, entrepreneurs, public and private investors, and many other key stakeholders. Central to Strathclyde University's Innovation Strategy is the goal to escalate the impact and reach of the innovation eco-system by creating new centres of expertise. The objectives of this particular project revolve around the further development of this eco-system based on "open innovation" by delivering facilities that will catalyse an Innovation District in the centre of Glasgow anchored by the University. This will accelerate the impact of creativity and new ideas by crystallising an exciting, co-located community of industry, investors, and academics that will support the growth of six new clusters - Quantum, Space, 5G, Health Technology, Industrial Informatics and FinTech, as well as the three existing cluster groups - Energy, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, and Enabling Technologies. It is anticipated that the TIC Zone Development may comprise of two new stand-alone buildings either side of the existing TIC Building (TIC Central) that will accommodate a range of collaborative research facilities at the heart of Scotland's first Innovation District. At 20,000 sqm gross internal area, TIC East is located on High Street, College Street and Shuttle Street. At 10,000 sqm gross internal area, TIC West is located on Ingram Street and Albion Street, south of the Inovo building. The University is currently exploring the option of accommodating TIC West within the existing estate by means of refurbishment of an existing building. To ensure that this option is captured in this procurement process the University have set the following Lot structure. Lot 1- Design and Construction of a new build TIC East and TIC West Lot 2- Design and Construction of a new build TIC East Lot 3- Design and Refurbishment of TIC West The University reserves the right at any time during the Procurement, to (i) Change the basis of or the procedures for the Procurement; (ii) Amend, clarify, add to, or withdraw, all, or any part of the Procurement; (iii) Vary any timetable or deadline set-out in the Procurement documents; or (iv) Cancel all or part of the Procurement; (v) Award one or more Lots, or no Lots The University reserves the right to award a contract on the basis of initial tenders without negotiation. ### Lot Information Design & Construction of a new build TIC East and TIC West It is anticipated that the TIC Zone Development may comprise of two new stand-alone buildings either side of the existing TIC Building (TIC Central) that will accommodate a range of collaborative research facilities at the heart of Scotland's first Innovation District. At 20,000 sqm gross internal area, TIC East is located on High Street, College Street and Shuttle Street. At 10,000 sqm gross internal area, TIC West is located on Ingram Street and Albion Street, south of the Inovo building. Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID) by definition, seeks to provide innovative solutions to the climate emergency. The University has already set out a plan to engage with this challenge and to create a Climate Neutral Innovation District working and collaborating with 15 other local and national stakeholders to create a 100% renewable energy, transport, adaptation, and wellbeing district. The university considers Passivhaus buildings to be one element of this plan, and this project will deliver two buildings, designed, constructed, and certified to Passivhaus standard that will provide high levels of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. Glasgow City Innovation District is a hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration, and is transforming the way academia, business, industry, and the city collaborate to bring competitive advantage to Scotland. The model - which is recognised for improving productivity, creating jobs, and attracting inward investment in several cities around the globe - brings together researchers and high-growth firms with technology and creative start-ups, to work side-by-side in vibrant, walkable innovation communities. This design to date has been informed by Stakeholder Consultation and brief development in order to understand the particular requirements of the many users involved with the facility. In essence, this facility is about creating an open and collaborative environment where knowledge and creativity can be shared. The buildings should encourage the merging of physical, networking, and economic assets - all working together to create an innovation ecosystem that facilitates idea generation and accelerates commercialisation.
