## Summary

The procurement process for the "Scottish Canals- Architect and Design Framework" has been completed and was led by Scottish Canals, located in Glasgow, UK. This was an open tender concerning works related to buildings of particular historical or architectural interest, with key contracts awarded on 20th July 2021, totalling £1.8 million for Lot 1 and £200,000 for Lot 2. The procurement method involved an open procedure, allowing for broad participation by interested suppliers. The process aimed to harness various design disciplines through a lead consultant to support multiple design elements throughout project development.

This tender presents significant opportunities for architecture and design firms, particularly those with experience in undertaking medium to high-value projects involving varying scales of work. Businesses specialising in historical or architectural design, as well as those capable of offering comprehensive design services across RIBA stages, would be well-suited to compete. Firms like Hawkins Brown, LDN Architects LLP, and MICA Architects, who are already active suppliers, exemplify the competitive landscape, indicating a robust environment for SMEs looking to contribute in similar future contracts.

## Notice

This new contract is required to provide access to a range of design disciplines via the appointment of a lead consultant. The services offered will cover a broad range of design elements required during the development and implementation stages of a range of projects of varying scale. Please see Appendix B, which identifies the key Design Team skills that may be required, but not limited to, during the course of the framework period.

### Lot Information

Scottish Canals- Architect and Design Framework Lot 1

Lot 1 - Medium to High Value or Risk Projects / Work Lot 1 will be used to deliver our core projects or work required by Scottish Canals. It is likely that the project will require multi discipline design input through RIBA stages 0 to 6 although some projects may require input at selected stage(s) only. Examples of the type of projects that have been carried out in the past are given in Appendix A.

Scottish Canals- Architect and Design Framework Lot 2

Lot 2 - Low Value or Risk Projects / Work Lot 2 has been introduced as part of this framework to deliver more straightforward work that may only include selected delivery stages with a reduced number of design disciplines required. The type of work envisaged for this lot may include items such as drawing updates or internal layout plans. The requirements for Lot 2 do not require the same level of experience, as wide a range of disciplines, and have a lower level of insurance cover needed.
